Hotel Ostria

Location is perfect. It is directly across the street from the beach, near many restaurants and shops. The manager was pleasant and helpful, as was the front desk staff

The cleaning woman for our room did not honor our requests to clean after we left for the day. Two days she didn't clean our room at all. I did not tell the front desk until we left because we were too busy to stop there each day.

Location, cleanliness, comfortable bed and hard pillows as I prefer (which are hard to find), helpful staff.

Breakfast being the same every day and bathroom . My shower had a curtain not a stable cabin that did not prevent water from spilling out, creating a mess for the night, until the cleaning staff came the following morning. I encourage the hotel to consider this renovation at their bathrooms for a more comfortable experience of their customers.

The location is perfect, the hotel was very clean and the main part of the room was perfectly adequate.

The glass shelf over the bathroom handbasin was far too big, it covered nearly half the basin making the basin difficult to use properly, (why so big anyway? What do they think you might want to put on it)? (see photos). The toilet paper holder fell off every time you used it, an attempt to keep it on with a wedge of loo paper, was of course unsuccessful. (see photos). There were no drinking glasses in the room, only two paper type cups for tea/coffee, (not ideal), no spoons, only thin wood type spatulas. Only 2 teabags, 2 coffee sachets and no milk! I found all this unacceptable for the daily charge of the room.

Me and my partner spent here only just one night but everything was 10/10!! I booked a simple room without a sea view but after we arrived the lady in the reception wished a happy birthday to me (my birthday was due to a few days) and told us she upgraded our room to another one with sea view because there were available rooms and the view was so beautiful. And she was a very lovely lady we are very grateful for the stay! I think the location was also great, tavernas, coffee shops and super markets next to it. Breakfast was also great, there was more options to choose from and instead just sitting inside you can walk out to the terrace and just chill there! I think for that price it was a 10/10 stay!! Thank you :)

The hotel is bright and modern with some lovely artwork. The lobby is spacious with comfy sofas and chairs. Our room was adequate overlooking a side street. Breakfast offered a good selection, even had a couple of toasters. The hotel is not far from the harbour where there are some lovely restaurants.. I can definitely recommend Elia traditional Greek restaurant

It is quite a walk to the old town, it might have been easier had we kept walking up the harbour to the road that takes you to the new square with lots of bars & restaurants, the old town was beyond that and other than the old church in the square it didn't seem to have a lot going for it.

Spacious room Clean surfaces and room in general Wide bed

Not enough toiletries Breakfast was subpar A/C was a bit noisy

Fantastic location right on the beach and had easy street parking. They were kind enough to move us to a room with a balcony on the side so we still got a sea view. The staff were very friendly and helpful and a good breakfast included. Definitely would recommend staying here, great value for money. Wish we had a bit longer.

Nothing

Excellent location opposite the beach front. Spacious room and large comfortable bed. very clean. Decent sized shower space. Excellent sound proofing when both balcony doors are closed plus good and dark when door curtain is drawn. Air Con if required. Fridge in room. Friendly staff. Cafe area opposite on beach so handy for breakfast outside.

Nothing really. I had the buffet style breakfast a couple of days which was ok. Certainly acceptable. not a criticism. Tea / coffee facilities in room would be nice.

The Ostria is right by the beach with bars and restaurants and some shops all around. I loved the private beach with free of charge sun beds, and waiter service. The water is beautiful and I made the most of my free time to swim. My room was very clean and bigger than expected. Nice size balcony with table and chairs too, and I had a view of the sea! Air con worked well. The room was really quiet, there was only some noise when the balcony door was open and neighbours were on their balconies, and of cars speeding down the beach road. The receptionist was fantastic and got me a room early. Buffet Breakfast was fine for me and can be eaten in the restaurant or beach bar across the road. I can recommend this hotel and would definitely stay again. I only stayed Friday to make my Saturday flight home less stressful, but I would happily stay for a long weekend to explore Kalamata which is so much bigger and more interesting than I ever imagined!!

My only minor grumble is that ( so I was told by the receptionist) there was no possibility of ordering drinks or anything after 8.30 pm which does seem a tad early. There are plenty of bars and safe ( I am an elderly female travelling on my own) outdoor restaurants, but it would have been nice to just sit on the balcony with some rosé.

The location was so good. We had a room with a balcony overlooking the ocean. The boardwalk was the best. It was so wide with room for people walking and cycling. Trees planted everywhere. Restaurants and open air bars. There was even a carnival area with rides for the kids. The hotel room was clean and the beds comfy. Breakfast was good also. Buffet style with savoury and sweet. Good value

The room was very clean but the only thing I would have changed was the shower. Almost impossible to shower without the floor getting soaked.
