In general, when I choose Greece as a vacation destination, I make sure to stay one night in Kavala for everything can this city offer, especially the promenade area around the port. Cafes, taverns, alleys, magazines, etc. The Oceanis Hotel was the choice this time... and it was a maximum choice I could say. Here's why...||||The hotel is centrally located, easy to reach. If I'm not mistaken, it's right on the main boulevard in the immediate vicinity of the port and the shops.||||It is not a wow hotel, but it has enough to be proud of. Here I mention the large rooms, the generous balcony, strong wifi, underground parking and last but not least the swimming pool on the top floor.||||If you book here, remember some details. Try to be at the hotel by 12 AM to get a parking space. The places are still limited, but there is another parking lot very close to the hotel for a fee.||||Also try to book on a floor higher than level 4, because you will have a much wider view of the city/port. Also, the room must have a sea view, otherwise you will find yourself in a room without a balcony without any view...||||The hotel only offers breakfast, which is a bit poor, but in no case do you leave the table hungry. Probably being mostly a transit hotel, they don't go out of their way to "fat" us with breakfast either. I repeat, it is not diverse or rich but it works. The hotel compensates in other aspects and of course in the quality/price ratio.||||As I mentioned, the hotel is about 150... 200 meters from the sea. Nearby you can find absolutely everything you need, shops, taverns, restaurants, a small amusement park for children and even a gas station.||||||The entertainment is directly connected with the surroundings of the hotel. Yes, I would still mention the swimming pool on the top floor, clean, quite large, with many sunbeds and umbrellas... I say very useful during the summer for an afternoon fun after a...
Read moreOceanis was so much better than expected. The staff was more than helpful and welcoming and left a tremendous impression as we rolled into Kavala for a brief stay. The room was spacious and the balcony room had a great view, but that said, everyone has access to the roof garden and pool, and the views from there are unlimited. Generally the hotel looks of an older vintage, but it rivals or surpasses newer hotels for cleanliness and facilities.
The staff also were tremendously helpful with locking in a limited parking spot for us in their underground lot without extra cost to us, which was a huge stress releiver as I was traveling with a small child and chasing parking owuld had been tough.
The location is perfectly suited, right in the center of downtown near city hall, the prefecture offices and easy walking distance to the aqueduct, the tower walls and the waterfront for plenty of great pictures. We also made use of the roof pool and pool deck more than once, which offered swimming and great views late into the night and sunset.
The breakfast was good. Some would find it a bit disappointing. We generally were able to find what we needed, others might be unsatisfied.
Overall, nice hotel, great location, would not hesitate...
Read moreI've just returned from 3 days trip to Kavala. We stayed in this hotel and we are very satisfied with service and everything. The hotel has great location. That's what i noticed as soon as we arrived. It takes you 5-15 min. to get to some nice and popular places, weather you want to get to the sea or maybe to sit in park in front of beautiful municialipty building (ex castle),or to visit beautiful church of Saint Nicola, many charming cafes and restaurants, or if you want to enjoy the view on Kavala from the old town. You have that feeling that everything is nearby. Rooms are ok, clean and you have as much space as you need. Beds are wide and comfortable. Rooms are cleaned everyday and you get new towels,shampoos and stuff daily. Breakfast is very delicious and various. You can pick between greek pastries, classic scrumbled eggs, fried bacon, salami, different salads, different tyoes of olives, greek cheese, sweets...The building has 2 lifts/elevators which worked well at the time we were there. Wifi is available and worked perfect. ||Young man and a girl at recepcion were very kind and helpfull. They borrowed us an iron and gave us neccessary information. We had a nice conversation as...
