Yassou to all who are wondering what this Hotel is really like. Here is my version. Myself and a friend who has visited the Greek Islands 11 times stayed here for one week in May 2004. It was my first holiday in Greece. Traveling with Olympic Holidays, we were located in a front first floor room with a balcony (twin). The room was basic, clean and linen/towel change was regular. Although we expected the road to be busy and noisy, we had such a great holiday that we slept every night so I couldn't really tell you if there was a great deal of traffic through the night or not!! we had no problems with it at all. In fact, it was nice to be up in the morning to view the people of Kefalonia starting the day. We tended not to notice the traffic until we awoke at about 8ish, even with the balcony doors open all night. Breakfast was as stated on other postings, the same each day, ie boiled egg, bread and preserve, orange juice and coffee/tea. I had no problem with this but we did try our breakfast in the taverna opposite and enjoyed that also. We found fellow guests to be friendly and the bar was ideal, in fact people from other apartments and hotels were using the bar instead of the ones in the hotel they were staying at. Athena and the staff were wonderful. Not having a pool is no problem as we used the pool across the road or the Long Beach which is just minutes away. All in all we had a great week there and we would certainly go back and would be happy to stay at The Irlena Hotel again. Lassi is a lovely resort. The people of the Island are so genuinely friendly. I was very impressed all round and would like to take this opportunity to thank my lovely friend Marilyn for organising a memorable and fabulous holiday. Efharisto poli Mal.
