Guest Reviews

• James (10/5): -
• CRAIG (9/5): -
• Jane (9/5): -
• Nicholas (8/5): If you like to stay somewhere with character and friendly hosts - this is for you. - Lovely little family run hotel. Don’t expect a resort with a pool.
• Juliette (10/5): - Accueil super chaleureux par Helena. Vue magnifique depuis le toit terrasse et le balcon filant de la chambre.
• JANE (8/5): Lovely hotel . great location . Friendly proprietor - Beautiful roof terrace Cold
• Margaret (8/5): Location great for ferry, great host and appreciate luggage storage option as was needed - Host was friendly and helped us with luggage storage for a couple of days for our visit to Ithaca, stayed here pre and post that visit. She gave us ground floor rooms due to our luggage and rooms are basic but clean and all we needed.
• Liz (9/5): -
• Matthias (8/5): -
• Kym (9/5): Thanks for being such a lovely hostess - Very clean and friendly greeting
• Ailsa (10/5): Amazing Hote - Amazing colour scheme fantastic views from the roof terrace. Helen was an incredible host , nothing was too much trouble. Fridge and kettle in room was such a bonus . Nothing
• Yvette (8/5): - Traditional family run small hotel. Lovely owner made us very welcome. Very convenient for all Samos restaurants and port. Nothing.
• Marzia (8/5): -
• Louise (9/5): Lovely place to stay in Sami - I loved this place! Good location, parking on the street outside, very vintage Greece but very comfortable. Lovely beds, small shower like lots of places, lovely balcony and a fabulous roof terrace. Helen was very friendly and speaks good English, Was all good I think, no complaints
• Anne (8/5): -
• Alison (7/5): -
• Janelle (3/5): Very overpriced stay in Sami - The location of this hotel is perfect if you are travelling via ferry from or to Sami. It is just few minutes easy walk to the port on fairly flat ground but down a slight hill. Ok if your baggage are on wheels. The view from the top floor was lovely but we unfortunately had other inconsiderate guests who were so loud talking on the phone we had to go back to our own balcony. Helen on reception could not be less friendly if she tried. We did not feel welcome at all. She gave us the key and did not even tell us which floor, which were up spiral stairs. It turned out she gave us the wrong key so we went up and down...thankfully we left most of our luggage in the car. The room is straight out of the 70's the photos are exactly correct but smaller. The decor needs revamping. The bathroom was so small it was almost not big enough for 1 person plus there is a shower curtain and since shower is so small it clings to you. The water was like warm so not we were meant to turn a water heater on but no instructions. The bed was hard with a small thin mattress thing on top to try and soften but it did not work. I am sorry but I do not see how others give this place such a high rating as this is why we stayed here. For the money we paid I expected a lot more. I have been paying similar or less amount for most places through Greece in fact this is one of the more expensive but this is the least value for money. We had a modern studio with kitchenette, a view over harbour and breakfast included in Argostoli for less than the price of this place.I paid 104€ but it is only worth 60€
• Holly (7/5): -
• Veronica (8/5): - Hotel semplice e accogliente, camera piccola ma pulita e confortevole. A due passi dal centro di Sami, ma allo stesso tempo fuori dalle strade prinicipali. La terrazza in comune al piano superiore ci ha regalato una serata rilassante e piacevolissima, è stata la parte più bella in assoluto! La proprietaria gentilissima. Consigliatissimo.
• Josette-marie (1/5): Allez ailleurs c est sûrement mieux - Ca ressemble a tout sauf a un hotel Le ventilateur, montez sur le lit pour l éteindre reste un prouesse pour les clients de 70 ans
• Steven (6/5): Older place would have been a good experience at half the price. The staff was excellent! - Ellen was the perfect professional! I could walk to the ferry It was old. There were cobwebs on the wall. There was a piece of the fan decoration hanging off the ceiling fan. There was a used soap in the soap dish and some hair.
• Darren (10/5): Definately somewhere I intend to stay when Icome back to Sami . Feels like home ! - Location , comfortable and the hospitality from Eleni was second to none ! Make sure and check out the roof top views especially at nice - breathtaking ! It was perfect for our stay - very happy with everything!
• Anthony (10/5): -
• Guest (5/5): Functioneel, we hadden voor die prijs meer verwacht - Ligging Gedateerd en prijs-kwaliteitsverhouding
• Melinda & David (9/5): -
• Manonburger (8/5): Zu teuer - Blick aufs Meer und Ventilator über dem Bett Sehr kleines Zimmer, Preis-Leistung stimmt nicht. Das Waschbecken hatte einen Sprung. Dusche mit Duschvorhang sehr klein.
• Carol Stamos (10/5): Convenient location - Although Sami is a less touristy town, its location gave me better access to both the east and west coast of Kefalonia. Also being near the port made it easier to catch early morning ferries to neighbouring islands. I didn’t like it when I had to leave
• Susan (10/5): -
• Monica (7/5): -
• Matthew (10/5): -
• Darren (10/5): Great location , Amazing host and very comfortable hotel! - Proximity to town ,Helen was amazing and room was very comfortable Nothing - it was perfect for our stay
• Martine (6/5): -
• Aire (5/5): - Cute room, friendly staff It was very noisy, couldn’t sleep. Loud neighbours with a baby

• Ingrid (8/5): -
• Matteo (7/5): -
• CHRISTOS (9/5): - Location
• Angela (10/5): Perfect place in Sami - This hotel is perfect! Very close to the Port of Sami, to the main street and the bus stop. The room is really really nice with all what you need and a small garden outside with chairs, table and hammock too. Upstairs there is an amazing rooftop with a beautiful view. Eleni is a lovely person that take care of costumers and i can really reccomend this place!
• Luigi (8/5): -
• Panagiotis (9/5): -
• MARIA (6/5): -
• Eugénie (8/5): Avant l'embarquement - L'emplacement par rapport au ferry, et la décoration. Chambre un peu petite et le prix un peu élevé.
• Karin (8/5): Ok für eine Nacht - Gute gelegen, um eine Nacht dort zu verbringen wenn man auf die Fähre muss. Ich buchte ein Zimmer mit 3 Betten, da sonst nichts mehr frei war. Das Zimmer war viel zu überteuert.
• Monica (10/5): -
• Maria (6/5): Good location with luggage storage but pricey - Good location and rooftop garden was a nice bonus. Offers luggage storage which is great help Room was cramped. There were 3 beds implying it would be for 3 people to stay. I was on my own to managed fine but it would be difficult for 3 people. Bathroom was also cramped. I think it’s quite expensive for a hotel even without breakfast
• Laura (8/5): -
• Bononcini (8/5): -
• Nicolas (8/5): - Le prix était un peu élevé pour une personne seule.
• ELENA (10/5): - Accoglienza Pulizia Posizione Nulla
• Karina (10/5): - We stayed there for two nights, the hotel was really close to the port. The owner was nice, she even allowed us to store our luggage there before check-in and after check-out. We had a good time and would recommend it! :) Everything was okay!
• Louise (10/5): We needed somewhere in Sami for two adults and a child, this was perfect for a short stay - Clean and comfortable, own entrance, large balcony
• Kevic (10/5): - This was a beautiful stay and perfectly located! Eleni and the rest of staff were wonderful! Papou was great to talk to!
• stephanie (8/5): Bon emplacement, hôtel basique avec belle vue - Proximité du port, idéal avant un départ matinal par ferry. Jolie vue depuis balcon de la chambre er surtout de la magnifique terrasse du rooftop ! Absence de petit déjeuner Petite douche et salle de bain
• Mary (4/5): -
• Guest (10/5): Très bon séjour - Situation géographique, pas loin du port, et d’un arrêt de bus. Personnel très gentil Dans la chambre que nous avions une belle petite terrasse avec hamac.
• Britten (10/5): Excellent stay! Stayed 4 nights with my two granddaughters 11 and 15, we loved this place! - We had a studio and made breakfast ourselves, the small kitchenette had everything we needed, coffee machine, water boiler, cooking facilities, fridge, small freezer. A wonderful patio garden with table and four chairs where we had breakfast and also dried our swimming clothes and towels. Green and lots of flowers and beautiful ornaments. Air condition worked perfect. Very clean and tidy everywhere. The hotel has a wonderful rooftop terrace with great views over the bay, where we spent some time in the evenings, well furnished and beautiful nice and clean. It would have been lovely though if the hotel could serve breakfast and drinks on the terrace... The landlady and landlord where so nice and friendly and did everything they could to make our stay great. The hotel is ideally located near city center, the promenade and nice restaurants but still very quiet! 5 minutes walk to a small pebbled beach, beautiful water and not crowded at all (middle of August). Everything was excellent!
• Isabel (5/5): Hotel antiquado mas boa localização - Proximidade do Porto de ferry.
• Camus (8/5): -
• Vivian Aparecida (10/5): Cephalonia is definitely a place to return to — we loved our stay. - We had unforgettable moments on this island, visiting paradise-like places, and the hotel’s location was perfect. The air conditioning worked very well, and the small fridge was a great convenience for the room. Exactly as shown in the photos, the place was spotless, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Parking was easy (no need to pay), and there were plenty of options for restaurants and breakfast spots nearby. Our stay was excellent. The bathroom was a bit small, but we knew that before booking and it wasn’t really a problem.
• Sylvia (7/5): Lovely - Location and friendliness of staff A bit too small and pricey for what it was
• Irene (10/5): Eccezionale!! - La disponibilità della proprietaria, molto gentile e disponibile. La struttura si trova in un’ottima posizione, vicinissima al centro ma anche al lungomare. Appartamento pulitissimo e la terrazza al piano di sopra è meravigliosa e ti permette di goderti la tranquillità dell’isola dall’alto. Esperienza molto positiva! Grazie ancora!!
• Diana (8/5): - Struttura vino porto Stanza piccola al piano terra
• Ximo (4/5): Un lloc a prop del moll des d'on parteix el vaixell - La terrassa superior comuna, és una delícia poder passar unes hores al capvespre i a la nit Havíem encarregat una habitació amb vistes parcials a la mar, de fet, així li ho vaig demostrar a l'encarregada de l'hotel. No s'hi va interessar per donar-nos cap solució al respecte, ni cap compensació en resposta a açò. L'habitació estava al cantó de la part de baix, sense vista, una mica opressiva, molt xicoteta i amb necessitat de passar una reforma de les instal·lacions
• Nadia e Andrea (10/5): Vacanza perfetta in un hotel perfetto! - La titolare gentilissima e disponibile ci ha messo a nostro agio e ci ha aiutato in tutte le richieste..l hotel è praticamente in centro...a piedi hai tutto vicino...la spiaggia di antisamos è vicinissima! L hotel è molto bello pulito e le stanze sono fresche!
• Julie (9/5): Comfortable, clean & quaint - Lovely quaint family hotel in Sami. Clean, comfortable room with a balcony & stunning views. Bed was super comfortable. Host was friendly and helpful & the port was minutes away but because it was a block back it was very quiet. That I couldn’t stay longer..
• Pierre-Louis (9/5): Un hôtel plein de charme doté d’un super rooftop -
• Heidi (7/5): -
• Arcangiolini (6/5): -
• Phoebe (10/5): -
• Gianluigi (10/5): -
• Steph (9/5): A hidden gem! - Amazing terrace and hammock, cannot fault the room for the price. The shower would be better if it was attached to the wall
• Victoria (6/5): - It was reasonably priced The bathrooms need upgrading. The shower is too small and hand held - difficult to use.
• Paolo (8/5): -
• Matei Ciprian (3/5): Personal dezamăgitor, nu recomand ! - Locația. Lipsa personalului ( după ora 22.00 a fost de negasit ) . Aerul condiționat nefuncțional . Prosoapele tocite, îmbătrânite și îmbâcsite, departe de culoarea albă !
• Péter (10/5): -
• jessica (10/5): -
• simon (10/5): -
• Phil (10/5): - Beautiful little hotel. Excellent location, comfortable and clean rooms. Made to feel very welcome by the owners.
• Manolis (7/5): - Cute garden room. Staff really friendly. Easy access and parking. Close enough to the famous Antisamos beach The hotel needs some work, especially furniture, the bathroom tiny and old. There is a lot of unused potential, the sunroof could be a great breakfast location or bar terrace. Sami itself isn't the most exciting place on the island.
• Nick (8/5): -
• Orestis (10/5): -
• Mike (1/5): Extremely disappointing - Only the location is ok Firstly, we booked a room advertised as having a sea view, but were placed in a basement-level room with no view whatsoever. This was misleading and set the tone for an already unpleasant experience. The condition of the room was unacceptable. It was old, musty, and emitted an unpleasant odor. The shower had no mount for the showerhead, meaning we had to hold it by hand throughout, which was extremely inconvenient. Even more concerning were exposed cables located directly above the shower area, raising serious safety concerns about potential electrical hazards. To make matters worse, a mini fridge was precariously mounted above our bed using a rusty and unstable hook. This posed a significant safety risk, and we felt genuinely unsafe sleeping beneath it. Additionally, the room had visible stains of unknown origin in various areas, further adding to the unhygienic and neglected atmosphere. Overall, our accommodation was extremely disappointing.
• Andrew (9/5): A perfect place to stay to explore Sami and get the ferry to Ithaca - Lovely views and very clean Friendly host
• Guest (4/5): Complimenti al fotografo.... - Il terrazzo è stupendo e la sera c'è una bellissima aria e si vede la baia del porto. I letti erano comodi grazie ad un bel topper. La struttura non risponde ai messaggi. All'arrivo ci apre un signore a petto nudo che non parla inglese. La stanza che ci danno non è all'interno della struttura che non è un hotel ma è una pensione in stile anni 70. La stanza è a livello strada accanto alla porta di entrata non è insonorizzata in nessun modo sentiamo tutto e tutti.. una porta di metallo chiusa con del polistirolo ci divide dalla strada. La stanza x 3 persone è insufficiente, in carcere hanno più spazio vitale. Il bagno è 1 MT x 1.20 e se almeno la stanza è ritinteggiata il bagno è rimasto agli anni 70 in tutto. L'aria condizionata, il frigo e il ventilatore emettono tutti e 3 rumori indecifrabili che non ti fanno dormire. Il piccolo tavolino x la colazione prevede 2 tazze e 3 bicchieri con ancora le macchie di caffè e di sporco. Siamo scappati dopo due notti grazie a Booking che ci ha permesso di cancellare le altre 2. La signora ha cercato di non farci cancellare le due notti finché non abbiamo insistito. Ci ha poi concesso la cancellazione ma ha ha preteso un pagamento parziale fatto in contanti senza ricevuta per i due giorni di cui non abbiamo usufruito nonostante booking avesse ufficialmente cancellato la prenotazione da 4 trasformandola in una da 2.
• maha (5/5): - Location was good and staff were nice The room I was given was ways far from the pictures on booking. I booked for 1 adult and 2 children then when I arrived the lady told me that the room is small for us. I had to pay extra which I didn’t mind to be and my kids comfortable. We were give a very old room in the groud floor surrounded by bushes, furniture was very old, the shower was very tiny, the walls and floor were very old.. during my stay I cought 2 spiders and one very long worm.. it was like a horror movie for 2 nights.. i asked for a room change but the hotel was fully booked as the lady claimed.. I personally will never go back there again.. though I have no idea how the upstairs rooms look like.. but definitely not worse than the one I had
• Mariangela (7/5): - Si dorme molto bene Il bagno avrebbe bisogno di un rinnovamento
• Baptiste (10/5): -
• Peter (10/5): A wonderful little place, perfect for our short stay on Kefalonia. - The hotel is in a great location, just behind the port. Really easy to walk to bars, restaurants and shops and very easy to to get to the ferry. Really friendly owners who could not have been more helpful. We arrived very late and it was no problem at all. We were also able to store our luggage on check out day as we had a late boat across to Ithaka, that was really helpful. The beds were very comfortable. We had a triple room for a couple of nights (my wife and I, and our son). Air con worked very well and the room was spotlessly clean. We visited the Melissani caves and had a great time on Antisamos beach. Huge choice of places to eat and drink very close to the hotel. This is a perfect little place and we'd visit again next time we travel to Kefalonia. Nothing!
• Caterina (8/5): -
• Ilaria (8/5): Buon rapporto qualità e prezzo - Hotel semplice ma molto comodo per il porto, letti comodi e caratteristico bagno un po' piccolo e con la tenda in doccia un po scomoda
• Feliciano (10/5): Struttura pulita e accogliente, personale squisito…posizione ottimale al centro di Sami - accoglienza pulizia e posizione

• Federica (8/5): -
• Alain (7/5): - Situation au centre, très proche du ferry Prix élevé par rapport aux prestations. Hotel un peu vieux mais propre. Gérante pas très avenante.
• Anneliese (4/5): Gute Lage, schlechtes Preis -Leistungsverhältnis. - Schöner, kleiner Vorgarten vor dem Zimmer,, nahe zum Hafen. Sehr in die Jahre gekommen, gehört dringend modernisiert und renoviert. Viel zu überteuert.
• Giuseppina (8/5): -
• Con (9/5): -
• Guest (9/5): - Friendly staff. No coffee service in morning other than Nescafé packets.

• Anna (7/5): Dated but clean; perfect for one night - Great location. Brilliant roof terrace - which was kept very much a secret! Lower ground floor room had a nice little patio with hammock. Good wifi. Small and dated.
