Pros +

  • Convenient, clean, great owners!
  • Great location, beach at the bottom of the street, town center just around the corner. Room has a fridge, good air conditioner and tv with BBC news channel. Very friendly staff especially the breakfast lady. Breakfast is pretty good European style.

Cons -

  • Everything was wonderful. Wasn’t a huge fan of breakfast but the coffee was good!
  • I was in a upper room which has a sloped ceiling which limits space and you keep banging your head. Shower is a nightmare, tiny and you can't help flooding the bathroom.
  • Rooms were spotless and staff super helpful and friendly

The breakfast was brilliant, a lot to choose from and als a variety of coffee’s ,rather than just standard filter coffee . And the hotel always smelled amazing.

Can’t find a fault.

Excellent location with friendly and helpful staff. Breakfast was good. Cocktails were fantastic ?Basic room but everything you need.They gave us a shower room to use as we had a night flight home.

Good location near the sea, calm place and clean room.

It is a vey tiny bathroom, even difficult to wash a had and for breakfast we very missed tomatos and cucumbers. This is Greece, famous with a greek salats.

The room was lovely with a cute balcony looking down the street to the sea. We had toiletries in our bathroom that smelled nice. The bed was comfortable & breakfast was great.

8OliverPosted on: 6-8-2024

Perfect location, next door to the Main Street but far enough away not to be disturbed by noise at night.Lovely little bar across the road with great atmosphere and good prices5 minutes walk to the beachOwners and staff were very accommodating and attentive.Our room (20) recently refurbished and all rooms seemed to have new air con units, very efficient and quiet

Didn't see a lift so may be a challenge for the less able.Some rooms only really have a view of the building next door over the Hotels garden area, you may need to ask to get a full sea view room but they will be closer to the road so it didn't bother me.

8JanetPosted on: 5-20-2024

Great location, great staff, very helpful and friendly . Great breakfast continental but plenty to choose from, room cleaned everyday. Great value for money

Not very good storage in room hard to get in wardrobe and no drawers. Couldn’t really fault anything else

8SallyPosted on: 10-8-2023

Good location for a town visit, near to sea, good continental breakfast with fresh orange juice and real coffee, always a plus

Rooms were on the compact side

8KarenPosted on: 10-3-2023

All the staff were very pleasant. Our room was quite small but was very clean with good linen and towels. We had a small balcony with a table and two chairs and also a small washing line with pegs (which we used most days). Breakfast was included and was adequate- help yourself continental style. There was a cocktail bar opposite and it was only a matter of minutes walk to the centre of Skala.

Nothing - it was fine

8EllisPosted on: 9-25-2023

The room was cleaned every day to a good standard Near to everything a stones throw away to beachBreakfast a continental style buffet with a friendly staff

Nothing was very pleased with all aspects

9JohannaPosted on: 9-16-2023

Location was excellent. Breakfast was plenty. Freshly baked bread and croissants every morning. Having it on the balcony with a view of the sea. A great little bar opposite with the best bar man and host! Yammas!

8EmmaPosted on: 9-4-2023

Location, Captain's Bar, friendly atmosphere, gardens.

9JuliePosted on: 8-31-2023

Loved the location and the decor The cocktail bar adjoined to the hotel is a great place

My regret booking a basement room

8TamaraPosted on: 8-25-2023

Captains House is placed in the South part of Kefalonia, very close to the beach, restaurants and shops. The hotel has its own bar with friendly stuff and good cocktails.

The room because it was in the basement with no light but fair enough for the price we paid.

8NadjaPosted on: 8-19-2023

I enjoyed staying at the Captain’s House . The owners are very friendly and helpful. It’s simpel and clean. It’s not far from the beach and the center.

For a low budget, 2 star hotel, it was pretty much what you would expect. Except that the grumpy old man who sits in reception was so rude.
