Irinna Hotel

Positives: the pool and personal balcony was lovely, air conditioning worked well, most staff were welcoming and helpful, there is a safe in reception which is easy to use, we looked forward to breakfast every day, close to beaches and many food places, half hour walk to the airport, fridge in the rooms was useful, we were able to stay at the pool after signing out, stray cats were adorable! Negatives: our soaps were replaced by cleaners on our second day even though they had barely been used, the shower isn't amazing but is useable Useful to know: dinner would have been €17 each (cheaper to eat out), only hand-soap and shower soap/shampoo is provided so bring conditioner, your nearest shop is about 10 minutes walk away Would recommend!!

The physical hotel was run down through age and lack of investment. Although clean and warm its decor and ambiance was a let down. Start were on the whole, excellent. The room was clean but faulty waste water rose up through bathroom floor sink. Reported but nothing done. I think that it is going to be closed and sold/ demolished in the near future. The beds, though clean, were too firm making sleep uncomfortable. Kefalonia was lovely. Just wrong choice of hotel.

Good value for money and a hotel with a lot of potential if only some money could be spent on repairs. The pool looks lovely, but spoilt by the lack of rungs on all the ladders, making it very hard to get out of the pool. The sunbeds were of hard plastic and were not adjustable, just flat. Our hand basin in the shower room was badly damaged, the shower head had no high support, so could only be hand held. The room door lock was stiff and the maid herself broke the key in the lock. BUT, apart from these niggles , the breakfast was lovely, the cleaner very thorough, with fresh towels daily and reception was lovely, very helpful and cheery. I do hope they can up their game as it is a pity it is run down.

We had a lovely holiday at the Irinna hotel. This included evening meals all beautifully cooked. Lots of slow cooked meats in sauces (pork in lemon and garlic was my favourite). Choices of grilled chicken & fish or a veggie option. And plenty of fresh salad. The pudding was served with watermelon. A combo which was surprisingly good & felt healthy. The pool was clean & well cared for. I particularly liked the trees surrounding one side of it offering natural shade from the hot sun. The restaurant & reception staff were friendly and helpful. They organised a car rental for us which was reasonably priced. Also there is a handy bus stop just outside.

This is very definitely a budget hotel; it is tired and shabby. Our bedroom had been recently painted, but the beds were very hard and just had a sheet & thin pillow. There was a fridge and good air conditioning. The bathroom was in urgent need of upgrade: the taps had no chrome left and there was mould around the bath which had a hand held shower. No plug for the washbasin. Leaking around toilet base. However the room & bathroom had been cleaned & clean towels & sheets were provided during our stay. All the staff were very pleasant, helpful & kind. Problems & requests were sorted quickly. The pool was a good size but again, needed upgrading: mould marks & heavy staining all around the top and the ladders were very wobbly. Breakfast was adequate- plenty of it but very dull. No fresh fruit, very cheap cheese & meat, rock hard boiled eggs. The hotel is very close to the airport. It was quite entertaining watching the planes fly overhead but luckily there are not that many as it’s just an island airport! A good range of restaurants in walking distance. Small beach nearby. I gave this hotel 3 stars because the staff were so nice but it’s not a three star hotel!
