Stunning views from all the rooms over the bay with balcony. Very helpful staff throughout from reception to the restaurant/bar. Very spacious and comfortable room.
We had a wonderful week at the Odessey hotel. The staff can’t do enough for you, and everywhere is spotless. Breakfast is an absolute feast and the restaurant is excellent. No wonder people return year after year.
Views were amazing - rooms as described and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. Would have liked a Breakfast buffet style for toast, cereals, fruit etc. but only a minor suggestion. I'd recommend this hotel to anyone !!
The view from the hotel is unique. For sure the best hotel in the area and maybe in the island. The staff was professional and in the same time friendly and genuine.
Fantastic 10 days stay where all staff could not be any more helpful . Helped arrange taxi , trips and car hire very easily and at good prices as well as late check out. Hotel is in a great location a short walk from the shops and restaurants. The food in the hotel was fantastic and prices very reasonable for the quality . Rooms were fantastic, large , modern and clean with great see views. Pool area very clean and was never overly busy at all. Will definitely visit again.
Lovely small hotel, staff couldn't do enough for us....they even offer a (limited) shopping service for essentials!!!
Pool isn't heated, and was fairly cool in September.
Recommended.
This hotel is truly superb! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The room was modern, pristine, spacious and well appointed. The room's mini bar prices were reasonable and the restaurant is well worth a visit. It's located just off the main road but close to the town's activities in the central port area. The swimming pool area is awesome and the hotel provides you with pool towels and, if you need, beach towels for off-location use. It certainly looked and felt like the best hotel in the area by far - extremely highly recommended!
My wife and I stayed here for our 10-year anniversary trip, and we absolutely loved it! The room was very comfortable, and the view was incredible. We spent a lot of time on our balcony just soaking in the gorgeous views. The Wifi was fantastic, which was very important to me, as I unfortunately had to work every night. The location was really great as well! Lithovatis Beach is a very short walk, with crystal clear water for snorkeling, and we always managed to grab a nice spot. The town of Agia Effimia was also a short walk, with plenty of restaurants and shops. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful at all times. They provided clean beach towels, pool towels, beach umbrellas, and my wife even picked out books to read. The hotel also has a great menu of grocery items, spa items, and souvenirs to purchase. Parking was never an issue, as we always had a spot to park at the hotel. Breakfast was extremely delicious every morning, and we loved the Mnistires restaurant downstairs. We must have gotten room service every day. The pool was also beautiful, and we really enjoyed laying by the pool with a cold drink. We absolutely loved our stay and the next time we are in Kefalonia, this is the only hotel we will stay in :)
An amazing hotel in a great location run by the nicest people! We had high expectations based on reviews we had read before we booked our trip and we were not disappointed. The hotel is in a great location, Agia Efimia is a lovely place to stay, nothing not to like. The Odyssey Boutique Hotel is in a great location, within a couple minutes you can walk to everything, shops, restaurants and bars, boat or car rental locations, yet it's quiet. Our room was lovely, very comfortable (and large) bed, nice seating area, great balcony with stunning views, modern bathroom and all spotless! The staff are so friendly and manage the balance of being attentive while also discrete, expertly. They really couldn't be nicer or more friendly.
Plenty of parking if you rent a car (we would recommend a hire car to see all of the island). I nearly forgot to mention the pool area - just brilliant! A lovely pool, plenty of space around it and the many sunbeds, never a problem to find available sunbeds and a parasol. Highly recommended.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Odyssey hotel. The location was very close to Agia Effimia which we enjoyed using as our base. The three (!) different Katherines looking after reception were all very kind and helpful and gave us great recommendations of places to stay.
We found the electrical box in our room very noisy on the first night but were promptly moved after sharing this with staff.
The couple of changes we'd have liked would be to have a duvet rather than just sheets, although know this isn't uncommon for a lot of Europe! We also found it strange that we could not eat our own food by the pool due to it being owned by the restaurant, despite the pool being only for hotel guests anyway.
Finally, there's a sign in the bathroom saying to hang up towels if you don't want them washed every day and we liked this as are quite eco-conscious, however regardless of how we hung them up they seemed to be changed every day.
The hotel has a fantastic location overlooking the bay and mountains beyond.
The facilities are excellent with large and comfortable rooms.
The staff were outstanding, nothing was to much trouble - Thank you
The staff was incredibly accommodating and friendly. We did two tours that the concierge recommended and loved them. The restaurant has the best food on the island. Highly recommend!
We spent 3 nights at the Odyssey Hotel and Suites. Beautiful property, convenient location and wonderful staff. We highly recommend staying here, the town was so lovely.
Amazing hotel with fantastic staff who go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable. Lots of good eating places around the hotel but the hotel restaurant is fabulous too!
What an absolute gem. We enjoyed such a relaxing stay, truly exceptional warm friendly hospitality right through from arrival to departure. Reception, restaurant and all support staff were so genuinely friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast selection and service outstanding. We ate in the restaurant a few lunch and evenings, fabulous food, mouthwatering daily specials expertly described, plus excellent speciality cocktails, even extra ice arrived magucally when loynfing by the pool. Stunning views, location amazing, lovely traditional village, grear selection of places to eat drink, hire a boat, without being too touristy - perfect for relaxation and great Greek hospitality. Absolutely loved it - hope to return many times!
The staff was amazing, stayed an extra night.
The rooms were big, good bed and beautiful bathroom. The food was very good.
The staff was so helpful and accomodating I can't recommend this place more excelent!
Amazing stay at a well cared for property. Katerina and her staff are caring, hospitable, hard working and extremely attentive! We appreciate the many thoughtful gestures to make our stay relaxing and memorable!
