We had a phone call from Dennis (one of the sons) at the Ionian Hill this weekend. He wanted to know when we were going again this year. He was able to tell us that Air Tours and Manos Holidays are now in the hotel for anyone wishing to book up. We hope to be going back late August/early September.  | ||||||||||

Well, the location is a bit naff - its a good 10 minute walk into the resort and its not a decent walk either. The hotel itself though is really decent. Nice pool, excellent pool bar, and they put on one helluva barbecue night. | ||||||||||

| We've just come back from our sixth holiday in a row at the Ionian Hill. Needless to say, we love it!! For those who complain about the steps, the road and the nightclubs, can i just quote the brochure blurb:- "On a HILLSIDE on the outskirts of Argassi, looking down over the sea stands this comfortable hotel, in two blocks, with it's own swimming pool and childrens' pool........ There are TWO NIGHTCLUBS close by, due to the location, there may be passing noise..... Argassi's bars, tavernas and supermarkets are 15-20 minute stroll. A short steep approach makes the hotel unsuitable for anyone with walking difficulties" All the points raised in the previous post are mentioned in this description so why be surprised when you get there. As for the nightclub noise, - we've never been kept awake by it and we always have a room at the front. We've never experienced damp in the room and as for the "staff", the hotel is run by an extremely friendly family who couldn't do enough for you!! No air conditioning - then ask for a fan - there's a big notice behind the bar telling you!!! As for the walk into town - we've done it every night we've been there and I would hardly describe it as "suicidal". Roll on next May when we go back - 10 out of 10 to Dennis, Nico, Stella, Anthony and friends!!! | ||||||||||

| Where do i start!I can think off worse than poor for this hotel.The hill you have to climb would be task for Chris Bonnington.It had 69 steps,you had to take 2 steps per step as they were so wide apart.The coach had to park the other side of the hotel as the hill was so steep.The staff were ignorant full stop!.The room had more damp than the titanic,If you were brave enough,you could always take the suicidal 25 minute trek down to aggasi town dodging the cars and lorries on the long winding road.Dont know what smelt worse,the bath room or the wardrobe,Just like a sewer.(I held back a bit there)If you were lucky to get to sleep with the heat,as there was no air-conditioning the music from the 2 night clubs would wake you.They start at 12 and end,if you are lucky at 4am.OH!!! And mind your head on the low piece of concrete by the stairs.Yes i did t**t my head on it.If i knew how to say COMPENSATION in greek i would have.Just thank god i had only one week there.I feel sorry for the next victims who have to stay at the Ionian hell,OOPPPPS Sorry!!! Ionian hill. 0 out of 10 here. | ||||||||||

| we stayed at the ionian in july 2002 and had to put up with a group of people who took over the music behind the bar and decided how loud they wanted it. We asked many times for the owners to turn the music down but they didnt. The greek night was a rip off and we seemed to be feeding their extended family, unlucky for us our room was next to the bar and they all sat out side our room till the early hours. many of the guests were queueing up when they found out we had packed lots of extra ear plugs. The view is lovely and its kept very clean just a shame about the late noise every night. | ||||||||||

| We stayed at this hotel at the begining of September this year and like someone else said, the Greek night is a rip off. We paid 15 euros so that their family and friends could have a free meal. The pool needed a good clean but the manager couldnt be bothered. He did manage to clean it once during our stay of 2 weeks. The hotel its self was spotless and the domestic staff come waitresses were great. You need mountain boots to walk up the 69 steps to get to the hotel. The other guests we met were a nice lot though. | ||||||||||

| We spent 2 weeks at the Ionian in September 2003. We enjoyed staying there as it was clean and quiet (the open air night clubs were shut). We didn't use the pool much, you can walk into town for a better one. The staff were ok, even though they tend to make the drink prices up as they go along. We gave breakfast a miss most mornings and had a late one at the Red Lion instead. Full breakfast for 4 euros isn't bad! Never saw one cat or even a dog, maybe they cooked it at the bbq! | ||||||||||

| Are some people talking about the same hotel? I have just returned from spending two weeks at the ionian hill and read this site before I visited. It got me into a right tiz as I was expecting to stay in some dump in the middle of nowhere! The place was spotless - no a cat in sight and there isn't even a room 203! There was a small night club nearby but you couldn't hear any noise from it unless you were sitting on your balcony and straining. Its about a 15 min walk into the town along a very windy road with blind bends which the cars speed down. OK to walk down whilst its still light but don't even think about doing it when it's dark - get a taxi - it only costs 5 Euros. Unless you're single (i was there with my boyfriend) the staff are not friendly at all behind the bar - infact they could be described as moody gits, but not to worry. Had a great holiday - lovely place, lovley people and BRILLANT cocktails at the Oasis Bar! | ||||||||||

| Dont bother getting ripped off with their Greek Night. 15 Euros is over priced, ..no room for seconds as all their Greek friends are picking away at what food remainds. Dont expect, (like we did) any traditional Greek costumed dancers (like other Greek nights). Expect to be constantly dragged up by the housekeepeing staff to dance! On several nights we were disturbed by the owners Greek friends having their own party until early hours. During the day agian their Greek friends took over the pool area! Breakfast is disappointing (one bread roll, a glass of very strong orange squash and a cup of tea!) The owners have the sweetest little dog, but beware it likes to do what dogs do in the long grass where the sunbeds are, and the owners seem to be oblivious as to what the dog leaves behind!! Beware dont put your things in the wardrobe unless you want a nice covering of mould on them when you come to pack! On a positive note, it has wonderful views. | ||||||||||
