ベルヴェデーレ ホテル(Belvedere Hotel)

A lovely family hotel but some distance out of katamala , It was very quiet and never saw many other guests ! Unfortunately it’s way up on a hill and a car is required ! But this gives wonderful views from all rooms ! The hotel is lacking in atmosphere but beautiful flower arrangements everywhere ! The lights in the lifts are very strong and unpleasant but really lovely otherwise ! A very sudden and dangerous turn into the hotel with a difficult path up to the hotel ! But worth it fir the views ! Service was good for Greece !

This place looks like a ‘lost glory’: what a great view on the bay, but the rooms are dark, without any tea or coffee, no ironing possible in the room, only rooms at the top floor (why such a huge restaurant area with this little amount of rooms). The rooms simply need a new set of bright paint and the bathrooms look very old fashioned. The pool itself is great, describing (as they do) it as an infinity pool requires a lot of imagination. In other words, this is far from being a 4 star hotel. At their defense: all is clean and functional. The driveway to the lobby is very steep, but there is plenty of parking space. Breakfast was OK, but not more than that. E.g. coffee is American coffee only (with the typical drip coffee you as you find it in the USA), and on top of that: the coffee was not very warm. I’m still a bit puzzled by the hotel configuration: if it is meant for e.g. weddings, the place is great as guests can sleep at the same location. That is, if the number of guests are limited. They have +/- 2- rooms in total.

The view from the pool was so comfortable and amazing that we camped out for the afternoon and ordered food and drinks at surprisingly reasonable prices. The hotel was lovely and spacious...and a bargain. It was the perfect setup for a relaxing break during a lot of moving around and seeing sights.

The view and the pool were great. Very friendly staff.

The group that posted multiple similar bad reviews for things that were their own fault should be banned from Trip Advisor. We liked this hotel, had no issues, and there was good communication. The hotel is unusual -- almost Scandanavian in feel -- clean, minimalist, somewhat cold decor. Every room is on the top floor with a large balcony and views of the water. Minimal staff, but the young man who staffed the bar/restaurant was pleasant and competent. There is an on-site bar and restaurant but we were oddlly the only people at dinner, even though the hotel was fairly full. Too bad because the food was very good, if service was a bit slow. Quiet and the AC worked well. Bed comfortable but pillows very thick. Warning: The hotel is a 10-minute drive from Kalamata. We liked the quiet of the location, but it makes getting into town for a dinner or drink more difficult.

2 lights out in the room - didn’t bother reporting. Struggled a bit with food and beverage orders. Staff were nice but inexperienced. Check your bill, I queried mine as a mistake had been made on the wine I’d chosen and she amended the bill by hand. I asked to check the bill receipts on check out and it went from €133 down to €122 - the wine difference was €5 so can’t figure out where the rest came from.

Modern, spectacular view of Kalamata Waterfront, with a fantastic pool atea. But, food & beverage service was terrible, with only one young, untrained server with minimal English for the entire hotel. Drinks and food were very hard to order and took forever to arrive. When they did however, they were very good.

Unprofessional staff!!! So rude! He almost kicked us out of the hotel! There was a pre-booking for me and my colleague for 1 and 2 nights respectively. We came one day after the planned date and the owner of the hotel literally kicked us out! He had cancelled our reservation without even calling first and had already issued the invoice and sent it to our company! When we asked if my colleague could use the room for the 2nd night he said that since we didn’t check in the first night there was no reservation at all!!! He claimed that this is a global policy! He got the money without even trying to help us! Totally unprofessional!

It's very old and needs renovation.
