Great wee basic hotel
Pros:

Great basic hotel close to the airport. We stayed here for 1 night as we did last year also when our flight home was cancelled. It’s located right in the heart of Gouvia so perfect to explore the beach and marina. The rooms are very very basic, no tea/coffee facilities but you do have a fridge. The A/C is an extra €6 per day and a 3rd bed in the room is an extra €30. Staff are very friendly and helpful. We would defo absolutely return due to its location.

Pros:

Für eine Nacht war es okay. Ich fand den Ort auf jeden Fall nicht besonders schön. Am Pool gibt es nur 2 Sonnenschirme, für die Klimaanlage muss man extra zahlen und die Mitarbeiter an der Rezeption sind sehr unfreundlich (ausgenommen der junge Mann, bei dem ich mein Gepäck vor dem Check-In hinterlassen habe). Die Betten sind gut, der Wasserhahn macht sehr laute Geräusche. Zum schlafen okay, mehr nicht.

Godt hotel og god pool.
Pros:

Hotellet var rigtig fint og hyggeligt. Der var en dejlig pool med god plads, og gode muligheder for skygge. Receptionen var søde og hjælpsomme med alting, både billeje og taxi til lufthavnen. Rengøringen af værelserne var ikke så nem at regne med og de kom oftest på de tidspunkter af dagen hvor vi befandt os på hotellet. Derudover blev vi overasket over at man skulle betale ekstra for aircondition.
Men helt generelt var det en god oplevelse at besøge hotellet.

Pros:

Couches were old and dirty. Spiders on the couches. Lady at counter was rude. Gentleman was very friendly. For the price, it was worth it for one night. Would not reccomend.

Not good value , deceiving pricing
Pros:

They charge extra for air conditioning, this is not listed or disclosed on expedia sites, the additional cost for air conditioning takes this hotel out of the value bracket, breakfast is poor... way more value elsewhere... do not recommend.

Vacances en famille
Pros:

Je suis partie seule avec mes enfants. Nous avons adoré ce séjour. L'hôtel est situé à proximité de quasiment tout! A peine à 15 min en bus de la ville de Corfou. La ville est très bien desservie en transport. Possibilité de louer scooter ou voiture mais nous n'avions pas besoin.
Le personnel de l'hôtel est très chaleureux, à l'écoute et sympathique. Ils seront vous conseiller.
Nous recommandons cette endroit.

Pros:

Établissement qui mérite parfaitement ces deux étoiles. Personnel accueillant et à l'écoute. Bonne situation pour rayonner sur l'île et bus stop proche. Petit déjeuner tout à fait correct. J'espère pouvoir y retourner.
- Pas d'eau chaude le matin de bonne heure.
Un petit séchoir serait le bienvenu sur la terrasse.
Bref, un rapport qualité prix plus que convenable.

Excellent stay
Pros:

Very friendly staff and a hotel which exceeded our expectations. We were very happy with the traditional Greek breakfast- pies, 4 types ot bread, fruit, cheeses, a wide variety. Coffee could have been better but they had good tea options.
We loved the pool area with beautiful flowers plus there was a table tennis table. Cleaning was extremely good with a daily service.
