If only... Very tastefully decorated rooms, I was impressed by the obvious care taken to select & match large to tiny, furniture, fitments, fabrics...

Then someone fired the architect & decided on the rest with no brain effort into how guests might be actually using the room. Perhaps the most prominent consequence, present in many cheapo quick buck rooms-to-let: almost no power outlets. Especially by today's standards a total of I believe 3 outlets for 4 guests is ridiculous.

The mosquito screens on the balcony doors, although not an afterthought, were practically impossible to use: the windows had aluminum frames on all 4 sides incl. 10cm at the bottom. The mosquito screens, instead of being the normal horizontally sliding (or folding) type, were the vertical spring-loaded roller variety (normally fit only for small windows (not doors), barely 2cm off the door frame, i.e. one had to stretch to the top & pull them all the way kneeling to the floor fighting to get the hooked within the space to the window frame. To release, one needs to kneel down, use all one's dexterity to disengage & follow all the way to the top. In practice, the rooms have no mosquito screens on the balcony doors. Like I said: they couldn't care less about how guests use the rooms...

Around the pool there are nowhere near enough seats/loungers and most have ridiculous shade. Some very considerate guests on the way to breakfast leave towels on their preferred seating (the ones with decent shade go first) to reserve for ... whenever... On our first day guest showed up to collect their towels at 7pm (when everyone was leaving) having "occupied" the loungers at least all afternoon without being there. In a full pool bar, one dad moved from a small drinks table to a larger meal table at the pool bar, but left their bags at the drinks table (to return after lunch). Mom shows up, he tells her to never mind, but she is too embarrassed and asks the head waiter, who also tells her it's ok...

Breakfast: cheapo quick buck in your face I just want your money
Lunch/dinner: little better than breakfast

Parking lot: short and narrow (minimal shade) inadequate spaces

Pity. If only a tiny little bit of extra effort and a tiny little bit of extra  money had been spent on the guests...

If only...

We booked the day before and were really pleased with the welcome, the hotel room and breakfast. The hotel was also kind enough to let us have a very late check out as we had a very late flight home. Would definitely recommend. Very close to the beach and maybe 10 mins to walk to all the shops and several very nice restaurants where you can watch the sunset.

excellent service

Probably the kindest staff I ever encountered, really nice and helpful. The room was clean and had a really nice position with a confortable access to the pool side; it was silent, well conditioned and had a kitchen as well as a beautiful terrace on the garden. The breakfast was also very good and well assorted. 

More a 4+ star! 

We spent three days in the SW Peloponese and we decide to stay in Imathoesa as Gialova located in a very good place by the sea. The hotel is clean the front desk also nice however it is not by the sea.  There is a road in front of the hotel that you need to cross. It is not very cheap hotel as the accommodation for off season as it is not a five or even four star hotel! However it is a decent place for a few days for sure. 

Comfy clean quite place for a short trip

Friendly family hotel with great pool, rooms and breakfast. Close to the sea, Gialova centre and Pilos. Very friendly staff, helpful and kind. Pleasant stay for the whole family. Highly recommended for any tourist type.

Very nice hotel

Nice place with kids close to pylos and beautiful beaches. Swimming pool is big and apartments are also big and very comfortable. This is very modern with wifi and huge balcony. People are nice and customer focused
I recommend 

Idéal with kids

Imathoessa is just 200 meters from Gialova center. You can just walk to the restaurants and just 20 meters away is a nice sunny beach. A brand new hotel with very polite and friendly owner. the rooms are very cosy and comfortable, the shimming pool is friendly for the kids. I totally recommend this hotel

A very friendly and brand new hotel

We spent 3 nights here in late May.  It was a colder, windier spring than usual throughout our month in Greece, and Imathoessa's pools were just too cold for comfort -- no one used them or lounged around outside.  (We were a bit disappointed to find that what appears in photos to be a hot tub/spa is not actually heated.)  In warmer weather, the hotel would be a happier choice. 

BUT in all other respects we were glad we chose it.  Our room was spacious, modern and well kept up.  The bed was great.  The location and parking were convenient.  Unlike most places we stayed the breakfast buffet was pretty routine and didn't vary at all from day to day, but it was more than ample and served in a pleasant space, so we were content.

Most importantly, the staff went out of their way to be kind and helpful when my husband fell hard on an unseen riser at a multi-level Gialova restaurant on Saturday night and broke two ribs.  Word traveled fast, and we were met with immediate concern and TLC when we returned to the hotel understandably distressed.  

The following morning reception told us where to find the small community hospital in Pylos.  There all the staff could do was write a prescription for pain meds since the hospital does not have an X-ray machine.  By Greek law, even on Sundays one pharmacy in town must be open, but when we went to fill the prescription at the designated place in Pylos it was closed, probably temporarily for lunch.  When the young woman at Imathoessa reception -- sorry I didn't even think to get your name! -- learned of this, she insisted that my husband go rest rather than drive back into Pylos later, as he was in a lot of pain.  An hour or two later, she appeared at our  doorstep with the medication in hand, saving us the trouble.  Bless her!       

One of the reasons we have happily returned to Greece again and again over many years is the hospitality most Greeks welcome strangers with.  Since the days of Homer and possibly long before, this important principle (xenia) has been passed down through the generations.  At a time when we really needed it, Imathoessa was a shining example of xenia for us.  They certainly went above and beyond simple professional courtesy to make us feel well cared for.

Efcharisto poli, Imathoessa!

A++ for the thoughtful staff, B+ otherwise

Lovely hotel! Very clean! Spacious rooms. Beautiful pool. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The car park was very convenient. The pool was beautiful & our children had a great time as there was a shallow adjourning pool for the kids. Situated walking distance from the beach. Definitely recommend this hotel!

Lovely hotel! Very clean! Friendly staff!

We stayed on August 18 in their family room. Very clean, very comfortable bed, very polite and friendly staff. Room service was daily, nice breakfast and real nice dishes that you could order by the pool for lunch. I strongly recommend it!
