Great
Pros:

Friendly staff including reception, canteen, bar and cleaning ladies. Clean facilities. Access to the beach. Variety and quality of food at breakfast and in the bar

Cons:

The noise travels easily so you can hear people talking , laughing, singing behind the wall in the next room. Luckily was not very noisy or annoying neighbours, so didn't create an issue

Awesome
Pros:

We stayed at this hotel 20 years ago and totally enjoyed it. Now 20 years later our stay was better than. The staff and Dorizas family make every guest feel like family. Remodel is beautiful, breakfast excellent. Beach and pool very relaxing. Our only regret is that we only stayed 2 nights. Hopefully we will go back to Kefalonia and our stay will be longer. Can't say enough about this hotel. If you ever go to Kefalonia you must stay here. Great location on the island.
Thank you Dorizas family. Brandt family for USA will be back. Sas efcharisto gia ola

A relaxed and comfortable stay in Sami
Pros:

The hotel is very well situated with ample parking and only a 10minute amble on the beach to Sami town. The grounds are well-maintained with a wonderful pool and hot tub. The rooms are spacious, bed comfortable and everything crisp and clean. Breakfast was delightful and the staff super-friendly and helpful

Cons:

My only negative comment would be that the kitchen closes for meals by the pool too early in the afternoon. One can then only get food by walking to one of the nearby tavernas or walking to Sami town. Longer outs for food at the hotel would make the stay more convenient.

Great Hotel, Great Staff, Great Stay - Thank you
Pros:

Very nice hotel, polite and friendly staff throughout. Rooms cleaned and well maintained as in line with the whole hotel.
Good clean pool & area with sun beds/brollies, tables and chairs all near the nice and friendly bar area (you can also get snacks here).
We had rooms with a mountain view and also a mountain view/part sea view - All great to look at from our balconies whilst sipping the odd drink.

If you want the beach (pebbly/small rocks) and sea, its literally a few yards away from the hotel with free beds for residents.

The main area of Sami is a nice seaside walk with great Coastal/Mountain views (about 15-20 mins walk at a gentle/steady pace). It's mainly a flat walk (bar two small bridges) and is lit up at night.
This is where the main port is (Ferries, Boat trips, restaurants/bars/shops etc) - We enjoyed our stroll there and back (twice a day - good for the step count).

When you exit the hotel, heading the opposite way from Sami, you can also walk to the Melissani Cave (approx 15 Mins). There are also a couple of eating places 7-10 mins away.

Cons:

Not the Hotel's fault...
a) We had the odd guest neighbours who didn't seem to appreciate other people may be trying to sleep when they are holding their conversations very, very LOUDLY. Especially late at night and early in the morning.
b) The balconies are a little close together so be mindful of your neighbours - There are full sized shutters which do close and keep the sun/noise out.

General comment ;
If you don't have any transport the hotel can quote you for most places (or ask if not on their list).
Be aware Taxi's generally are not cheap (Ain't no Uber on Kefalonia) and buses are not that frequent.
That said, the Hotel seemed to have a fair number of parking spaces if you do have a car.

We liked everything about the hotel itself though - Top place.
