Anthoula

Have stayed at Anthoula hotel many times over the years and would not stay anywhere else, the hotel is beautiful and is way beyond it's 2 star rating, Anthoula and her family are very helpful and friendly,rooms are clean with lovely bathrooms, Anthoula hotel is honestly one of the best places to stay in Kefalos.

I was able to relax very well at Hotel Anthoula! It is beautifully situated on the mountain with a view of the bay of Kefalos. I mostly walked to the beach and took the shuttle bus for the way back. The owner, Anthoula, is super nice, always helpful, and on hand if you have questions. All the employees were very friendly and there is a family atmosphere. It is a bit noisy in the nicely furnished room with a balcony, but it bothered me more that some guests were so inconsiderate; no one at the hotel has any influence over the crowing roosters or loud motorists. At the pool, there were always free lounge chairs and a nice selection of snacks and drinks. I would book there again at any time.

Shocking experience and would never return again! Basic human rights having water and a flushable toilet. This stopped at 1am. Thought it was just our room but other residents said the same. No water in the fridge in room on arrival at midnight. Anthoula was more bothered about us paying euro tax and air con in cash. Breakfast was abysmal, cheap ham, cheese, tomato and cucumber with stale bread. Stared at by the 2 cleaners if you didn’t clear breakfast items away. 3 small cups of coffee allowed, a sign tells you but tbh, one mouthful was enough. Awful. Take your own. Drinks were well overpriced. Even tried fobbing me off with Absolute Vodka and it was rum. This was tried by 4 people and they all agreed. You can hear all your neighbours antics as there are massive gaps under the doors. The biggest bug bear for me was the Scottish cleaner, the most rude person I have ever met!asked for bin liners so I could take my own rubbish out,rude response. On going outside to our transfer she threatened to run myself, husband and 4 other people over. Horrible person! The shower leaked into the room and we had to mop it up with our bedding and towels which were changed once in the week. I cleaned the floor myself and the bathroom sink as it had not seen a cloth in the whole week. And I know this as I left a salt sache by the side of the bed and it didn’t move!I think Anthoula needs to get a decent cleaner. We were then given a floor cleaner to scoop up the water.There was glass on our floor and when I looked in the cupboard there as only 1 cup for 2 people. I have stayed in many 2* hotels but this has got to be the worst I have ever ever been in. I feel bad for slating someone’s livelihood but a few changes it could be better with decent staff. Oh, we also got moaned at for asking for ice as Anthoula said she has to buy it. We offered her the money but her face said it all. Unless your going to her son in laws restaurant every night she’s not interested. Btw, the food was lovely there although a bit pricey. Anastasia, Anthoulas daughter was lovely. I even stripped off the bed and the Scottish lady shouted at me, “I’m not doing your room until tomorrow so just leave it!” Said I was only trying to help! Rude, rude! Oh and your balcony won’t be cleaned all week either! On a plus note the pool area is lovely although a bit slimy on the floor
