Kalamata Art Rooms

I’ll start by saying that, for some folks there will be absolutely nothing wrong with the hotel, the room, the owners or location. For us however the location was all wrong. We decided not to stay and to move on. The hotel is positioned in a very busy and noisy location slap bang in the middle of Kalamata which is a large, bustling city. Traffic and parking is a nightmare. I should have done my homework more thoroughly as we have targeted quiet apartments/ hotels in small coastal villages… like Pilos where we are now. The owners declined a refund or partial refund as they were apparently unable to relet the room and this, I guess is understandable. I’ve done this review to draw your attention to the location if like us you are seeking solace.

Simply a great place to stay. Reception staff very friendly and helpful. Modern ,bright room which was really clean and serviced fully every day. High quality sheets and towels. A welcome gift of local products as well as tea and coffee. When we left the lovely receptionist came downstairs to make sure we had a gift of olive oil and olives. We were in Sweet Sunny which is a bright , compact room with a well shaded balcony over the square. The traffic is far enough away not to be a nuisance. A great place to sit for coffee with cake from Frangeas or a glass of wine and people watch. The breakfast deal at Bistroteca next door offered good value but the service is really, really slow. 40 mins to get breakfast. So the next 2 days we walked 5 minutes up ( ie in the direction of old town) to the bakery Frangeas, self service with tables outside and super staff who speak English and could not be more helpful. Great quality and surprisingly cheap.

It was great but VERY small, Good service and nice view, Great location but far from the sea ,so long walk also lots of shops nearby. A real piece of art work it’s clean and has everything you need is nearby. Free sweets 😝.The lift is extremely small.

I had a lovely stay in this centrally located hotel and, in the end, didn't want to move on! The staff were very friendly and helpful and the lady who greeted me was a fantastic host. The hotel itself is hidden and unassuming from the outside, but inside is modern, trendy and quirky. My room was a single room and it had plenty of space, a balcony for people watching and a fantastic shower room, unlike any o have seen before! The attention to detail in this hotel is exceptional. They provide a welcome basket with local snacks and oil, slippers, towels, a shaving kit and toothbrush. The facilities were everything I needed and more. It is very centrally located, right on the main square and in-between several bars and restaurants. The room was soundproof and I slept comfortably both nights. The room was air-conditioned and had a decent sized bed. The coffee machine was a god-send! Kalamata beach was about 30 minutes away on foot and the market and bus station were about a 20 minute walk. This hotel is perfect for staying centrally in Kalamata. I loved it!!
