  I do not recommend staying here.

  06 Jul 2024

  Completely unacceptable attitude and behaviour.We had travelled from the UK through 5 countries over 6 days with our two spaniel dogs and had stayed in various accommodation each night. We booked online through Booking.Com to stay for one night at the Ionian Apartments in Lassi, that stated pets welcome, this was the only available pet friendly accommodation in Lassi. On arrival at approximately 5pm, we were greeted by two teenage children, their parents were away in Patras, there were no adults present. We were immediately told we could not stay due to families with children staying there stating “Our dogs would bark and upset them keeping them awake all night and they didn’t want to take the risk”. The children asked us to cancel our booking. Advising there was no other availability in the town they then said we could stay at an apartment 1/2 mile away but dogs still not accepted so they would need to stay in our vehicle in the Ionian carpark overnight; no duty of care whatsoever, in fact one of the girls actually said “I don’t care, you can’t stay here”. They offered no solution at all, were very rude and dismissive and were quite prepared to leave us stranded overnight. Eventually and thankfully but 2 1/2 hours later with our dogs now needing respite from the sun, my partner rang Booking.Com who were swift at resolving a very difficult situation. They have also contacted the Ionian Apartments and advised they will be taking this further. I would like to thank both Booking.Com and the Thelassa Boutique Hotel and Spa, we had a wonderful evening in a beautiful apartment, the staff were exceptionally helpful. Our dogs didn’t bark once!

  No recommend staying here!!!

  I do not recommend staying here. The living conditions will not meet the promises. If you decide to move to another hotel, the hostess of the hotel from Ukraine will blackmail you and threaten you with statements to the police about the theft of things. Even after you leave the hotel, you will receive threatening phone calls. Not

  Overpriced and understaffed

  16 Aug 2023

  The main reason me and my family went to this hotel was because of the pictures. Luxurious spacious room, amazing breakfast, stunning views, modern kitchen ect ect. Well, upon arriving to this hotel (which didn't even have a reception desk), we noticed that something was very fishy. The owner was all smiles at first, greeting us with open arms and having conversations. But, while we were fooled by her generosity, she took that chance to slowly push on the idea that we should cancel our booking and pay the hotel directly, promising us that there will be a discount. Well as it turns out, agreeing to that was our first mistake. First of all, the room was tiny for 3 people, the beds were nearly touching, the bathroom was so small that the door couldn't open fully, there was no "kitchen" like they showed in the pictures, just a single counter with a hot plate, and the air conditioner was old and worked poorly.And when it comes to the breakfast, it was nothing like the pictures. They couldn't even make fried eggs properly! There was a big lack of waiters (it was just the owner's 2 daughters serving us). Also, they could barely remember a single order, and whatever food you don't eat goes to the next person, causing a hygiene issue as well.Also, the room itself was quite dirty and dusty, the cleaner didn't do a great job cleaning the spider webs that were on almost every corner of the room. (But I won't blame the cleaner too much, as the poor woman had to clean the whole hotel BY HERSELF!) The only staff in the hotel was the 2 daughters I mentioned earlier (which are both underage teenagers working for 3 hours nonstop), and that one cleaner. (And at one point, the daughter that was serving the food switched places with the cleaner, and she left the key outside the door, which is a serious security issue!)And there was no discount like the owner promised, she charged us almost 300 Euros a night, which is ridiculous for what you're getting! (However we negotiated with the owner and then she lowered it to 214 Euros, which is still very expensive)However, the reason I'm giving this hotel a 2 star review and not a one star review is for a number of reasons. For one, there was the location, which was the closest hotel to the beach, and the room did have a seaview which is good. Also, despite how unprofessional some areas of the hotel were, the owner and staff were actually quite generous, giving us fresh pastries and talking to us and introducing us to Kefalonia (as it was our first time there). I think this hotel has potential if they hire a reasonable amount of staff, charge a lower price, and don't show fake pictures of the hotel and the food, then this hotel would be far more honest and there wouldn't be as many problems.Thank you for reading (my extra long novel of a review)

  Expensive

  14 Aug 2023

  Positives+ excellent location 50 meters from nearest beach, great see view, the host Violeta and her 2 daughters were friendly , the hotel is not overcrowded which I prefer,Negatives- very expensive and overpriced, the room was too small for a family of 3, the shower room was very small, I expected better as in their website it shows a much bigger apartment but in reality it’s a double room for 3 people!The breakfast photo in the website shows a beautiful breakfast, but in reality it’s not!The positive is you won’t go hungry they bring you so many pastries to feed an army! The English breakfast was poor they don’t know how to make a soft fried egg, I had to tell the daughter on a few occasions,and I seen the daughters pass the pastries from guest to guest and then say it’s all fresh and clean, hence the higeinic issue, Apart from this I would say it’s adequate, its not a bad hotel ! but it’s too expensive for what you get as I checked other hotels in the area and are much cheaper! The good news is I would stay again Violeta! But for half the price!
