“Beautiful Kefalonia”
+If you are wanting a quiet small hotel then this is perfect. It is quite isolated and not a lot to walk to. The rooms are compact and very clean. The owners are very hospitable and helpful. Pool is beautifully clean. Breakfast was ok. Pretty basic and the coffee wasn't very strong. Greek yoghurt was lovely. We hired a car for 5 days and went around this stunning island. You need a car or taxi to get to any beaches. We visited a beautiful beach in lassi. Clear waters and sandy. Other beaches were charging 20€ for sunbeds. I don't think we would return here purely on the location but i can understand why many others return.

“Exactly as others have said”
+Sat at the airport for a delayed flight so thought l would review now to pass the time. Pretty much as everyone has said over the years - a lovely stay at the Ionis Hotel; a 2 star establishment but with 5 star service from Ilias and Peri who could not have done more for the residents and always on the go! Virginia's masterful Greek coffees were a delight and it was a pleasure to drink at the pool bar of an evening. The only regret was this morning - taxi was early and l rushed down with the suitcases and forgot to leave a tip for the cleaning staff - l am so very sorry and totally appreciative of how our rooms were cleaned, reflective of the high standards throughout the hotel. Highly recommended for a true greek experience from start to finish.

“Total relaxation”
+We were aware this hotel was a bit isolated so no surprises there. This hotel has an amazing pool and gardens, The rooms are great, bed comfortable and towels changed regularly. Everything is clean and tidy. If you are looking for a relaxing week away you got it made. Food at the snack bar, good and reasonable. It is easy to get to Agostoli and we went twice and absolutely loved it. There is only one thing we missed, an authentic Greek taverna. Although there were two within walking distance the food was grilled meat and chips in both. This place is ideally situated to explore beautiful Kefalonia if you drive. We loved our time here and met some great people(you know who you are). Thank you to Illias and Peri who made our stay great. There will take you to the restaurants up the hill and pick you up for a small fee. 10euro was great for us. The restaurant up the hill Olive Lounge we thought a little pretentious but food was good and reasonable, the wine extortionate. We had a lovely time, thank you Illias and Peri you are stars. I cannot praise Verginia on the bar enough who made our stay so enjoyable. Thank you all for a lovely holiday.

“Lovely”
+Lovely central location. Gorgeous pool. Fun quiz night which we won. Lovely welcoming hosts. Mostly um guests on package holidays but they were all lively. Colony of bats living I. Our roof was fascinating to watch at dusk and Dawn.

“Wonderful relaxing week with superb hosts in a fabulous location”
+Wonderful location with exceptional hosts who couldn't do enough for you. We went to chill out completely after a few busy months and that's exactly what we did. The hotel has a really nice relaxed atmosphere, illyaus and Peri go out of their way to help with anything such as booking taxis, restaurants etc. The pool bar is very reasonably priced good selection of drinks and enough choice of snacks with very friendly service! We only came back yesterday and have already booked again for next year! If you are looking for nightlife and a lot going on this isn't the place for you, if you want relaxation in beautiful surroundings with a few decent eateries within walking distance and more only a short taxi rise away this is the place for you! Pool area lovely spotlessly clean, plenty of sunbeds should they be required, pool cleaned religiously every evening. We don't really ever take breakfast so can't comment too much, however the coffee was lovely, and judging by other guests plates which were cleared the food must be good! Couldn't recommend more highly a definite slice of greek hospitality at its best! Can't wait to return next year

“A warm and friendly stay”
+We had a wonderful two week holiday at the Ionis hotel. Ilias and Peri made us feel so welcome and couldn't do enough for their guests. The rooms were cleaned every day, plenty of fresh towels and bedding. Aircon and safety deposit box hire was included which was a bonus. The pool area is fantastic, it was kept spotlessly clean and there were always sunbeds available. There is also a snack bar serving pizzas, burgers, salads and drinks. There is a very reasonable taverna across the road serving souvlaki and gyros, a bakery, taverna and a pizza takeaway (where you can also eat in) about a ten minute walk away. There is a mini market and petrol station across the road. The hotel run a quiz night once a week, which was a fun evening. We had a car for the majority of our stay (which is recommended to explore this beautiful island as there is limited public transport). Taxis are reasonable, it cost us 15 euros for a journey into Argostoli . Ilias will take you up the hill to the restaurants at the castle (fabulous view) in return for a contribution towards the cost of petrol. I can't praise Ilias, Peri and the wonderful friendly staff at the Ionis enough for their exceptional customer s

“Superb Ionis”
+This is our second visit to this magical hotel situated in the southern end of Kefalonia, situated approximately 15 minutes from the airport. The hospitality & warmth of the owners Ilias & Peri can only be described as exemplary. We feel blessed to of stumbled across this hotel a couple of years ago & lucky to call Ilias & Peri our friends. This is a 2 star hotel that delivers a 5 star service, Ilias & Peri are available night & day ensuring that all their guests get the most out of their holidays. We hired a car for the duration of our stay & visited many parts of this beautiful island, it was always lovely to return to this special hotel to relax, chill & unwind. We plan visiting again very soon & hope that if you book this hotel you will enjoy your vacation as much as we did.

“Lovely 2 star hotel with 4/5 star everything else”
+Me (42) & my daughter (13), stayed here for 10 nights. The hotel is 2 stars, but echoing what others have said, the welcoming nature & personal services of Illias & Peri, who work tirelessly hard, to make sure you're happy, make the whole experience 4/5 stars. Room was cleaned daily & had a mini fridge, a kettle, hair dryer, a safe & air con. Breakfast was limited & a bit samey. The pool & surrounding area was lovely. Never had any trouble getting 2 sunbeds. Thursday night is quiz/bingo/karaoke night with dinner. Hiring a car is probably a good idea whilst staying here, but we got around using the local buses & taxis just fine. €2 bus to Argostoli & €15 by taxi to Platis Gialos/Costa Costa beach. Taverna across the road is good & cheap. Olive Lounge, Kastro Cafe & Mano A Mano Pizza worth visiting.

“Wee gem of a, hotel”
+Excellent little hotel with very friendly and helpful management and staff. It is a little out the way so hiring a car is probably good if you want to see the Island. There is 1 bus a day to Argostoli but taxis are reasonably priced. The hotel has a bar which serves snacks and drinks all day. The owner Illias will give you a lift to the Olive lounge restaurant on the hill which is absolutely stunning. The hotel is only 2 stars but deserves a much higher rating for friendliness and facilities.
