Hotel Kanelli Beach

Nice location, right on the beach. Room clean and staff friendly. But when you take your breakfast outside, eight cats come to your table to beg for food! Breakfast was really not good and the same every day. I guess overall not so bad for the price.

You know what they say about real estate in general. Location, location, location. If I want to be fair this is their strongest trait. Their location. They have a relatively big pool for the hotel size and in 20 meters you have a nice, clean, unorganized beach. Spaces are clean, rooms are clean. They have a working restaurant for breakfast, launch and dinner with decent food that has some tables on the water so the view is great. Food quality is on the ok side. Nothing special but decent with fairly good different options. Now moving on to the negative things. First and foremost their rooms are very old. Actually everything around the hotel is fairly old and you can tell. Nevertheless they are doing a decent job at trying to hide its age. All rooms have A/C but from another decade so be prepared for some noise. Nothing too problematic but if you want complete silence in your sleep, get some earplugs. Everything is working inside the room but don’t have any great expectations. As I said everything is old. They have a non working roof garden. I bet it used to be a great place to have dinner or breakfast or just enjoy a drink but it is now abandoned. Extra tip. It still has its seats so you can go there at night, completely alone or with company and enjoy the view. It’s on the 3rd floor. They also have a non working pool bar. A major problem is that they are short stuffed. They try to hide it by organizing their internal procedures and for the most part they succeed but you might find some services lacking. Breakfast is 08:00-10:30. Fairly basic. Maybe the most basic breakfast I’ve seen in a while with little to non existing paid options to expand it. Service is very basic in the morning. Don’t wait for someone to come at your table for you to order extras. Pool is supposed to be open from 10:00-18:00 but 3-4 days of the week it opens on about 10:45 because the lifeguard on duty is also the pool cleaner and maintainer. He gets here at 10:00 and starts the cleaning process. Another great example of the short stuff problem I mentioned earlier. Please note that there are some bars and restaurants nearby so a lot of youth gather there making some noise. Nothing too bad. Just a heads up. Our room was not on the beachfront but on the side of the hotel so we were not affected from the noise. All in all, if you take into consideration the disadvantages I mentioned, our stay was very pleasant. Stuff is very polite and ready to help you. Location is great. Extra tips: There’s a mini market just 10m away. A kiosk is at 50m and stays open till around 23:00. A very nice snack place is also nearby at about 200m open till 04:00 so if you’re hungry after a night out this is the place to go.

Hotel is simple, but very clean. Friendly staff, very helpful and warm staff at the front desk who can answer a lot of questions you may have about local places and food. Location of the hotel next to the sea. Will definitely come back.
