Garden City Resort

Ποικίλο πρωινό ,αρκετά ωραίο πλούσιο στη γεύση κ στην ποσότητα. Τα δωμάτια ήταν οκ ,όχι κάτι ιδιαίτερο αλλά όχι και άσχημα. Τρομερό προσωπικό ευγενέστατο και πρόθυμο πάντα χαμογελαστό. Τα 5 αστέρια για το πρόσωπικο αξίζουν!

Το δωμάτιο χωρίς ηχομόνωση, οι τοίχοι από γυψοσανίδα, ακούγονται όλα από τα διπλανά δωμάτια αλλά και τα νερά από όλες τις σωληνώσεις. Η ντουλάπα εμφανή αλλά και χωρίς ύψος για παλτό φορέματα κρεμμαστρες σύνολο 4 , στο μπάνι ο τα νερά του ντους γέμιζαν όλο το χώρο δεν υπήρχε η κατάλληλη κλίση. Επίσης το δωμάτιο δεν ειχε και καθρέφτη για μακιγιάζ . Ο χώρος που σερβίρει πρωινό πολύ μικρός.

We stayed at the Garden City Resort for almost 2 weeks recently in a Superior Junior Suite. The suite was delightful, nice balcony, plenty of space within the room, very modern with a lovely bathroom which included walk in shower. One little criticism was that staying for almost 2 weeks storage space for our clothes was quite limited, we had to use both couches to lay most of our clothes on, but it was manageable and didn't cause any issues for us. Breakfast, which was included, was Greek buffet style, which for us was great. The choice was great, including hot and cold meats, salads, cakes, cereal, bread etc, with quite a lot of it home made, which was delightful. Now, for us, the most important and really special aspect of the hotel were the amazing staff. They are a small group of really special people who make a huge effort to do that little extra to ensure your stay is a little special. The fantastic guys and delightful girl on reception were such a great help in arranging laundry, restaurant recommendations, calling restaurants for reservations, arranging taxis, they were all brilliant, so Aris, Panagiotis, Panagiotis (2) and Panagiota, thanks for all your help. Our rooms were cleaned to an extremely high standard everyday, lovely fresh towels, delightful toiletries and fresh crisp sheets. Thank you so much Vaso and Christina is was great to return our suite every afternoon knowing it would perfect for our little afternoon nap. As I said earlier, breakfast is a traditional Greek buffet and Eleni and Stauroula in the kitchen served such delightful treats every morning, especially their home baked little cakes, which I loved to enjoy with coffee every morning, the fresh fried eggs, bacon and sausage but it was the fresh tomatoes, olives and Greek treats we loved most, thank you ladies for setting us up extremely well for the day ahead. Complimenting the delightful cooks were Anna and Olga, who both served and looked after us at breakfast. Wow, they were both brilliant, Anna and Olga thank you so much for making a fabulous cappuccino every morning and for the delightful cup of fresh juice at the pool mid morning to help cool us down. Both of you were brilliant at looking after us at breakfast every morning, thank you so much for going that extra mile to ensure our start to everyday was met with a smile and a cheerful "good morning"! Lastly, thank you Thanasis for looking after us every evening, serving us a cold beer or making a coffee for my parents, it really was appreciated. Thank you to the management of the hotel for looking after us extremely well and for the little treats you arranged almost every evening, we really appreciated this, so another huge thanks. So we are now at home reflecting on a wonderful holiday in Kalamata, a delightful friendly city in Greece but our memories will always be of the Garden City Resort and its magnificent staff who succeeded in making our holiday there extremely special. A huge thanks

The hotel was modern and clean, the staff extremely attentive and helpful. We had some great chats the the girls and boys on the front desk. Breakfast was fairly good with enough choice. Our biggest issue was our room was on the front and the road noisy, and unfortunately the balcony got full sun late afternoon so impossible to sit on. The hotel was very quiet and more suited for travellers staying a few days not a week like we were. We felt the room was a little bland not quite as described in the literature read on line. Kalamata was lovely however great beach, waterfront restaurants and choice of food. Nice to spend a relaxing week. Everyone in the town was friendly and welcoming. We had an enjoyable holiday

The staff at reception and restaurant are really service minded. The hotel is nice, in a good location and the pool is a plus. Clean rooms with ok beds. But, the staff in the kitchen was terrible. We were the only guests in the the restaurant and we ordered 2 plates of cold cuts as starter and then pizzas and pastas. It took the kitchen 1 hour to prepare the cold cuts. The pizzas and pastas took an additional 1 hour and was not served to the guests at the same time. We complained a lot to the waitress who had to bear all complaints on behalf of the kitchen staff. All in all a good hotel but if you want to eat, be prepared to wait 2 hours for the food. The waitress offered some drinks on the house.
