...But this are the only advantages. I could easily spot stains in a supposed cleaner room, some of the water and electrical appliances had issues and last but not least, the building has no lift.
The good thing is that the beach nightlife is walking distance

We were in transition from Costa Navarino to the early morning flight. We needed a place to chill and with easy access to the airport. We were greeted by vert welcoming and helpful owner. He advised on what to do in the town. The best attitude of this hotel is definitely the view.
The hotel is a basic hotel in a great location. We stayed in a room on the first floor and had a comfortable stay. The owner is a very friendly man and very helpful - when we enquired about renting a moped he called up a nearby rental place and sent us there. Kalamata is a beautiful place.
Good bed, good shower,nice balkony. The smell of cigarets in the hotel is not nice.
The room could be better cleaned(specialy the floor. There where enougf towls and the view from upon the balkony was fantastic.
For the price to stay here, you can get a much better hotel option nearby with better amenities, decor and quality.
I'm not one for writing negative things so lets focus on the positive. Great location - truly, rooms are big, side sea view rooms are spectacular. Having written that, the rooms and the hotel in general are in serious urgency of a decor update or at the very least a good deep clean.
The room I had was spacious with a great balcony that overlooked partially the sea and Mount Kalathi, so that's a definite bonus. The negatives however are the extremely dated decor and smell of cigarette smoke that permeates throughout the building and into the rooms where it appears to be stale. The bed was comfy however and bathroom was dated but adequate. The carpet in the room was so worn it was beyond threadbare. A little TLC and a good clean up of the hotel would restore its former charm, it doesn't necessarily need renovation as such, they could keep the original furnishings, but it is long long overdue for a clean.
As originally stated, it is a budget hotel but for the same price you could get much better close by.
We booked at Alexandrion for one night before travelling onward into the mani, our experience was excellent.
While this is not a luxury hotel the service we received was excellent, our flight was delayed by 4 hours and we did not arrive until 2am but after calling ahead from Gatwick someone (I think the manager) stayed up to greet us and even took extra bookings from other passengers for whom it was too late to travel on to their further destinations.
The rooms are basic, but fine and since the hotel was not busy the manager was happy for us to keep our room after the room clear out time before we traveled on in the morning.
