Centrally located next to many shops and restaurants. In the summer when the sun goes down at around 8:30pm, the whole town comes out and has dinner in the restaurants which is a great atmosphere -- I recommend having a Freddo Cappuccino after dinner and people watching. The room has everything you need -- soft beds, air conditioning, great smelling shampoo and body wash. The couple who own this hotel are very kind and took the time to get to know everyone who is staying there. They just remodeled the hotel (it is the oldest in Kalamata apparently) so you can tell it's a labor of love to them. Breakfast was huge - they absolutely spoiled me with coffee, local pastries, and cheese. Overall, great experience.

We had an unexpected stop in Kalamata in booked this hotel last minute based on all the amazing reviews. The hotel didnt dissapoint. Good communication with the owners before we arrived to make sure all would be ok with our arrival. On arrival they helped us up the stairs with our luggage and gave us a really nice room. Room was big and the bathroom was really modern. Lovely breakfast in the morning. The hosts were lovely and really helpful. I can see why people go back again and again! The hotel is close to the old town of Kalamata and near plenty of restaurants. It is around a 20 minute walk down to the coast.

Its not a problem for me but if you struggle with stairs then you may have a problem at this hotel as the rooms are all upstairs. The hosts will help you but if you have mobility issues this may not be the place for you.

This is a beautiful place to stay in the town of Kalamata. The couple who own this are so wonderful, gentle and very attentive. The rich history of the building was so interesting to hear and the couple who manage it have renovated it to the highest level. The WIFI worked perfectly well and while we didn’t use the TV in our room it was available. Everything in the bathroom worked perfectly and we were fortunate to have a small balcony too. The rooms are large and the bed was extremely comfortable. The breakfasts were very generous and kept us going all day. If you want somewhere civilised, cultured and or just beautiful then check in here.

Nothing at all. This place is a gem…!

Staying at Hotel Vasilikon in Kalamata is not merely accommodation - it is a journey back in time. From the moment you step in, you are immersed in a world where history, elegance, and warm hospitality blend seamlessly. The building itself is a beautifully preserved neoclassical gem. The rooms are spacious and exquisitely decorated, offering modern comforts without compromising the hotel’s authentic character. Each morning, a carefully prepared breakfast featuring local delicacies sets the tone for the day.

A stunning hotel, with a gorgeous interior. The rooms are lovely, large, with comfortable beds, tallest ceilings ever and modern bathrooms. It's been decorated with exquisite taste and every single item has a story of its own. The exceptional hosts, Giorgos and Efi were a pleasure to deal with; kind, welcoming and greeted us with a smile every single day. It added value to our stay, and we will definitely be back!

Nothing. Everything was great!

The hosts were very welcoming and kind. The breakfast was excellent, with fresh cooked local food made each day. Parking and driving is quite difficult so keep that in mind, although I was able to find a good spot.

There is a restaurant on the corner that is open late on Friday and Saturday nights so there is some crowd noise. It wasn't a problem or too loud but something to consider if you are a light sleeper or go to bed early.

Amazing location, very hospitable, and welcoming staff. Clean and modern rooms.

Very welcoming staff and beautifully restored hotel with lots of old charm yet all the mod coms required. Managers were super helpful going as far as sorting out our car parking for us.

We stayed one night at the hotel, which has been beautifully and lovingly restored by the owners, and it is a feast for your eyes. The room was large with high ceilings and subtly painted shades of grey and pink. The original doors and floors have been stripped back and varnished. The shower room, though small, was exquisite. The bed was large and very comfortable. The rooms lead off the beautiful open communal area, which is bathed in soft light from the glass skylights. The communal areas are beautiful with the painted ceiling, a stripped spiral staircase leading to the loft room and antique furniture. Breakfast was delicious and consisted of handmade local traditional dishes. The location is central to the older part of Kalamata, which at night buzzes with life from all directions. The hotel is in the heart and soul of Kalamata, yet thanks to the excellent roads, you can drive to Kalamata Airport in less than 30 minutes. Parking tip - do not attempt to park at hotel go to City Parking Lot - free and only 5 minute walk.

There was nothing I disliked, but there were a couple of things that would make this an exceptional hotel. Whilst there is air conditioning in the rooms, there was none in the communal areas. It was 30 degrees in Kalamata, and it would be lovely to walk into the cool, beautiful hotel. Secondly, there was not enough storage for clothes. We were only there one night it didn't matter to us, but on a longer stay, I do want to unpack my bag. I want to wish the owners every success with their lovely hotel. Thank you.

Super friendly and caring hosts in this nicely renovated hotel in one of the historic buildings of Kalamata made our stay really exceptional! The location is perfect to explore the city and take a stroll through the main areas with cafes/restaurants (definitely ask the hosts for recommendations, we ended up going there multiple times during our stay) and we usually found parking close by as well. For breakfast we got a nice variation of local specialities and despite the heat wave the rooms AC in combination with exceptionally comfortable bedding had us sleeping like babies! An added bonus was the nice little cafe in the same building that served really great cakes and iced coffee as well! We didn't know much about Kalamata before we came but Vasilikon definitely has us coming back to explore more of this beautiful area of Greece :)

Nothing negative comes to mind!
