Avis ANCIEN IMARET DE KAVALA Kavala

Η διαμονή μας στο ξενοδοχείο Ιμαρετ ήταν μια εξαιρετική εμπειρία. Το προσωπικό ήταν απόλυτα επαγγελματικό και ευγενικό, πάντα πρόθυμο να μας εξυπηρετήσει. Το ίδιο ισχύει και για την ξενάγηση που μας προσέφεραν, η οποία ήταν καταπληκτική και μας βοήθησε να ανακαλύψουμε τις ομορφιές του κτιρίου μαζί με την πλούσια ιστορία του!

Το ίδιο εντυπωσιακό ήταν και το ίδιο το κτίριο του ξενοδοχείου, με μια πανέμορφη αρχιτεκτονική που συνδυάζει την παράδοση με τη σύγχρονη άνεση. Τέλος, το φαγητό ήταν απλά τέλειο, με γεύσεις που ξεπερνούσαν κάθε προσδοκία μας.

Συνολικά, συνιστούμε ανεπιφύλακτα το ξενοδοχείο Ιμαρέτ σε όσους αναζητούν μια αξέχαστη διαμονή σε έναν ειδυλλιακό προορισμό!

Almshouse is a charitable institution established to help the poor in the Ottoman Empire. Here, various aids were given to the poor and the poor, especially food, clothing and health aid. The prominent people of the state funded the soup kitchens they established through the foundations they established for these soup kitchens.

Kavalalı Mehmet Ali Pasha, who was born into a Muslim Ottoman family, was a notable soldier in the region. He was one of the 300 soldiers sent by the Ottoman Empire from Kavala against the French occupying Egypt. He was promoted with his successes here and later became the Egyptian Governor of the Ottoman Empire with his political maneuvers. With his work, he is considered the founder of modern Egypt.

Contrary to what many visitors think, the Imaret building in Kavala has nothing to do with Turkey and even Mehmet Ali Pasha rebelled and fought against the Ottoman Empire. This Imaret, which he founded in the early 19th century, is today owned by the Egyptian Foundation. It is operated as a hotel by a private person hired by the foundation, and visitors are offered sightseeing tours. In this magnificent building with domed ceilings from the 19th century, it is possible to understand how a foundation functioned at that time. The calmness and peace seen especially in religious buildings during that period are still felt today.

The visit is paid and reservations are required in advance. During your visit time, they let you in and take you around with a guide. We went 10 minutes before the tour started, but at this point they did not let us in until our visiting time. Being left standing outside was not a pleasant situation at all. Our tour guide was very polite, but unfortunately he did not have enough information. It was obvious that he was telling what he said from memory. He could not give enlightening answers to simple questions asked by a few people.

In short, I must say that Imaret is an important place to visit in Kavala for terms of architecture and culture. However, I would recommend that you do not expect anything in terms of tour guidance.

Δεν υπάρχουν λόγια να περιγράψω την υπέροχη διαμονή! Είναι εμπειρία που πρέπει να την ζήσεις τουλάχιστον μια φορά στη ζωή σου!

Excellent experience!

I have been planning to visit Imaret for about 15 years and somehow didn’t make it until the time of my 50th birthday. Well, the waiting was worth it ;)
The place takes you back over 200 years ago in a stunning masterpiece of Islamic architecture, character and history. The whole setting is very stylish and somehow cosy and relaxed.
The Dome room was extremely comfortable and elegant. Perfect size, very comfortable bed with fine bed linen, chic furnitures and details that make your stay special such as calming background music in the room, very cosy lightning, beautiful fresh flowers and lovable good night ritual.
Dining in Imaret is also superb – they offer 4 course daily set menu that is very well prepared. Service is also top and the overall ambiance in the restaurant is lovely and romantic.
The Imaret team knows how to treat their guests right and I felt very welcome and comfortable. Thank you for making my stay there very special!
Yes, there are few resident cats in the hotel and also I fearless little dog but for me all this just adds more color to the ambiance.
Parking is not available in front of the hotel but knowing that it’s the old part of town you do expect limited parking.
I highly recommend Imaret hotel to visitors looking for something authentic and special!

Καθώς κάναμε την βραδινή μας βόλτα στο κέντρο της Καβάλας, μας τράβηξε την προσοχή η επιβλητική του όψη κ είσοδος.. δικαίως.. τόσο μια βόλτα για ένα ποτό/ φαγητό αλλά και η ξενάγηση την επόμενη μέρα μας έκανε να νιώσουμε μοναδικά. Η ενέργεια, ο αέρας, η μυσταγωγία που αποπνέει το μέρος απο το 1ο βήμα μας μάγεψαν..

Πολυ ορεως μερος.χιστορικο... the best hotel in BALLKANIA

Φανταστικό ξενοδοχείο! Έχω επισκεφτεί το μπαρ του. Εξαιρετικό και απόλαυσα υπέροχο κονιάκ! Φινετσάτη ατμόσφαιρα που σε ταξιδεύει στην Ανατολή...

Το επισκέφθηκαμε για ξενάγηση. Ήταν η πιο ιδιαίτερη εμπειρία που είχα στην Καβάλα, το συνιστώ ανεπιφύλακτα. Το κτίριο είναι μοναδικό, η ιστορία και η ενέργεια του σε παρασύρουν και σου μένουν στη μνήμη. Η ξενάγηση ήταν πάρα πολύ καλή, περιεκτική και απολαυστική

The worst experience that i have ever had in a hotel ( and I travel a lot) and the most unproffesional staff. The owner of the hotel is rude. Please have a look on the tripadvisors. Most of the negative feedback is related to the owner of the hotel

We visited for a drink
The location of the veranda is really nice but the service not what you would expect from a 4 star hotel. We were not allowed to sit in the front part of the veranda although the place was empty because it was apparently fully booked. We stayed for one hour and nobody came so we could have benefited from a better view but the waiters were too posh to care.
We had 4 drinks-15 euro for each cocktail. The drinks were good. The table got really wet from the drinks and ice and they did not care to clean it.
I have travelled extensively and lived in different European cities for the last 20 years so I have experienced true hospitality from
5 star hotels to humble tavernas. That was not the case! We will not be back

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME HERE!! Went for dinner with the intention of seeing some of the property, or at least sit somewhere I could see something special. Hotel looked closed from the outside, doors were locked. Had to ring a bell and wait for a staff member to come let me in. Once inside, was immediately led to my table in the restaurant (which was a 10 foot walk from the hotel entrance). Nothing luxurious or glamorous AT ALL! Sat in an old room with no charm or ambiance. No views of the architecture, pool area, view of old town or sea. Boring and uneventful to say the least. When I asked if I could see some of the property, was told NO by 3 separate hotel staffers. I suggested that I could be escorted by someone that worked at the hotel for a few instagram snaps if there were concerns around guest privacy, again was told no! I asked if perhaps an exception could be made as I was leaving Kavala tomorrow, and property tours were closed the 2 days I was in Kavala, and again, turned down. A yes to my request could have simply avoided this review and turned my overall experience around completely. This should be a customer service learning for the hotel/restaurant. Food was great, but if you’re looking for an experience of food and views and luxury, save your money and go some place else. Let’s not forget it’s Kavala, not Monaco, Paris, or The Amalfi ????

Huge disappointment, do not recommend. Will not return.

Also, had to prepay half of the cost of the 4 course meal ahead of my reservation. For non-Greek speaking folks, this was confusing and very unprofessional. Get it together!

Osmanlı'dan kalma bir Sarayı yine Osmanlı'nın adını ve ismi kullanarak Otel haline getirmişler Aslında bazı şeyleri söylemek isterim ama o insanlardan suç yok esas suç Bu bölgeyi basit bir şekilde bunlara bırakanlarda

A simply amazing hotel, in an exceptional isolated place built by an Egyptian King in 1813. The excellent surroundings, the very beautiful rooms, and the lovely gardens and swimming pool with the very good and very polite service offer you a real unique stay. We had a wonderful time. Thank you so much for taking care of the smallest detail... We stayed again in June 2023. My previous review stands. Everything is exceptional, an amazing expeirence!

A fantastic place.

Great historical atmosphere. Service is outstanding. The dinner was world-class. Location is perfect.

Accueil, services, et lieux magnifiques, chargés d'histoire. Calme et volupté. Restaurant digne des meilleurs étoilés. Séjour marquant et inoubliable.
