"The breakfasts were great; I loved the dining area and the Greek milk pie! Although, when we sat outside, there were a group of bees trying to steal the food, and the staff didn't help with the situation... Breakfast coffee was made by the barista, not the automatic coffee machine. We had dinner at the flow dine and wine, very nice environment with live cello music. We liked the traditional dessert. One flaw is that the room doesn't provide a luggage rack, even though there was plenty of space in the room. We also didn't receive slippers when we arrived. It's nice to have a Jacuzzi in the room, but it's a bit old and very noisy when it's turned on. Very convenient to have buggy as the hotel is big."

"The property was lovely and a great place for “home base”. We had a sea view, top floor room and I would definitely recommend. Most of the staff was amazing, Dmitris and I believe Angela at the front desk were both lovely and helpful. The cleaning staff did an amazing job and deserves accolades for their daily reset. Visali (spelling?), I believe he’s a “concierge”, was very unkind one day when I parked our little Picanto in the wrong spot. He berated at me in front of the hotel lobby and accused me of “moving cones”, which I wouldn’t do—and that made the day and the stay just a little less “shiny”."

"A fabulous property in the most perfect spot. A short walk into Lassi, pebbly beach and sandy beach within close proximity. There are a few stairs as the property is set out over quite a wide expanse, and is set on a hill side. Beachside rooms have the most amazing views. There are also bungalows with outdoor sunbeds to watch the sunset."

"Seriously, what can I say? Fabulous hotel with a beautiful location and amazing staff. we stayed for 10 nights in a sea view room, gorgeous view and great to sit on the balcony in the morning and evening , we had amazing breakfast every morning with wonderful, helpful staff, after 2 days they knew our coffee order without asking. All of the staff were lovely and so helpful. The reception staff , Angelika, Cassandra and Georgia were second to none. very informative and we were always greeted with a smile. There needs to be a special mention to Georgia. We discussed our day with her every evening, she gave us great recommendations for restaurants. We have left making a new friend in Kefalonia. She made everyone feel noticed. Thank you Grand Hotel , we will be back for sure ."

"A really lovely hotel, within walking distance of the beach and Skala centre. Rooms are small, but comfortable, although the AC does not get the room very cool, hence it’s hot at night. The breakfast is adequate, never changes so becomes rather boring , quality is fair. Staff are excellent and the pool area and bar for drinks and food are very good. There is no restaurant for evening meals or a guest lounge area if it rains. Overall, well worth a stay here but just lacks a few things that could make it great"
