We've just come back from a brilliant stay at The Galaxy Hotel. The rooms are basic but clean and air-conditioned with a good maid service. The hotel is in walking distance from Argostoli along a scenic route, but we hired a car which really is essential. However it is a very good base for exploring the island as everywhere is within equal driving distance.
The staff are the best part of the whole experience. Vangelis, his Father, and Anya are all brilliant and Vangelis and Anya know all there is to know about where to go and what to see and do and can recommend excellent places to eat. They are so incredibly friendly and welcoming. I agree totally with HappyCampersUK, they really do make you feel important and are genuinely interested in what you've been up to each day. They make each guest feel completely at home and like they are all important.
The bar by the pool is well stocked and served cold beer in glasses kept in a freezer, and a good selection of spirits, and soft drinks. I'd advise you to try the mojito, when I ordered it, Vangelis went and picked the lime from the tree and the mint from the bush so it was the freshest mojito i have ever had!
The hotel does a simple menu of burgers and salads during the day but the burgers were home made and delicious, and the greek salad was very fresh. Breakfast is a simple continental affair with cold meat, cheese, bread, pastries, fruit and yogurts.
I'd advise to go in september as it was brilliant sitting round the bar at night because it was quiet and we could sit around chatting to the owners and some of the other guests which was brilliant atmosphere, and a chance to make some good friends.
Kefalonia is the most beautiful island and this is a brilliant place to stay if you are on a budget. A perfect place to rest your head if you arent really going to spend any time in your room and are looking for peace, quiet and relaxation and a fantastic atmosphere.
