Tolon Holidays Hotel

I travelled by car from Kalamata airport. The sat nav found the hotel quite easily, and they do have both front of hotel parking and a side car park. but I will expand on driving in Tolon later. Arrived to be greeted very well from a lovely lady at the reception desk. Got the elevator to my room on the 2nd floor. The room I was in (209) has a side view and is reasonably furnished. Double bed, 2 chairs, a desk, and enough wardroom space for my clothes. Bathroom with shower that worked, and with quite hot water too. Fridge to keep my beers well cold enough. Breakfast buffet was fine for me, with a good selection of fruits, breads of all sizes. cereals, some cooked meats, scrambled eggs, etc. I found it good to start the day of well. Attractive pool area with around 12 sunbeds, and a snack bar, All in all, I am pleased with the hotel , apart from the location. Yes, it is around 5 minutes walk downhill ,Solonos Aritzi Street to the main road where all the shops, restaurants are, etc, and then just a few more minutes to the beach. You then have to walk back to the hotel UP the road, which is a steep 200 yards or so. If anyone has walking difficulties, or is pushing a buggy, it is exhausting ! As I said in the first sentance, I came by car. The main road running through Tolon is an absolute nightmare to drive through ! Cars parked bumber to bumber on both sides of the road, leaving only JUST room for two cars to pass each other. If you miss the turning up the road to the hotel, previously mentioned, you have to drive into a narrow one way system all around Tolon just to get back to the hotel. The one way system is an absolute nightmare ( and I am not exadurating). To conclude, I was pleased with the hotel experience itself , and I would recommend the hotel. BUT, the location isn't great for everyone.
