Yasmin House by CorfuEscapes

Location and Cleanliness

Location and the young girl came and met me a few minutes ago later, very sweet girl. That's about it.

Everything else. Kitchen was awful and dirty, one bedroom reminded me of a jail cell, the bigger room was nice and spacious though.Very very old, the whole place needs a renovation. The bathroom was disgusting and do not stay if you have young kids who need a bath, it is a very raised "bathtub" which consists of two very small squares. I have lived in Corfu for 30+ years and this was an embarrassment to the Corfiots. Please do better. The photos do not represent the facility.

Great location in the Old Town. Easy to find and get around. More spacious than expected and quiet. Kitchen well equipped for a longer stay than we had.

Little to complain about. Check-in was chaotic and generally the admin side seemed disorganised. Kept receiving the same form emails and answered same questions many times. Bedside light was very dim, and not possible to read by. Lighting generally not great; either too bright or too dim, would benefit from some table lamps.

I definitely do not recommend this hotel - the hotel was dirty, it looked like it had never been cleaned. The double bed was broken, it was impossible to sleep on it. The glass in the entrance door was broken (it was only taped so that you could not see the hole). The bathroom is very dirty, it smelled bad. Plus, we waited about 30 min to pick up the keys. The person who should receive us was not present and did not inform us of the delay. The only plus of the hotel is its location - in the city center.

The location is good near the town , walks near sea access to all town sites , restaurants and shops.

Related to the house my experience was the worst I've ever had. The house was dirty , never cleaned , the double bed in the double room was broken , 2 days I couldn't sleep. The kitchen and bathroom are extremely old , with a bad smell of dump , the wardrobes are very old full of unnecessary old smelly duvets and old pillows. Squicky doors , no air-conditioning in the second bedroom. The bathroom is very filthy . No bins to dispose the rubbish and no information about this matter, naighbours that are residents came over the door to complain about the rubbish , very unpleasant situation. The price for 8 nights cost 1100 and for this price the place wasn't worth the money.

Family of 4 (including older children). First impressions, building looks very old from outside and staircase and doors to each apartment looked very rough but very pleasantly surprised when apartment door opened. Lovely, bright large space consisting of good sized lounge, kitchen and separate dining area. Also a bedroom with double bed and one with single bed. Dining area has table and chairs and sofa bed and it was quite easy to make this space feel like a 3rd bedroom. We each got a large and small towel and a couple of miniature shower gels etc. There was soap in a dispenser in bathroom for handwashing. New dish cloth and sponge was provided at kitchen sink and a bottle of water in fridge. Coffee machine worked well and teabags, coffee and sugar were available. Lovely big fridge/freezer. Air conditioning units in lounge and main bedroom worked very well. 2 electric fans also provided which we used in the smaller bedroom and dining room/3rd sleeping space. Apartment in heart of old Corfu Town and close to very picturesque port and just a few minutes from shopping centre. Lots of reasonably priced eating places nearby.

There were a range of practical issues with apartment, some of which didn't matter to us as not using but which I've listed for information for potential future guests reading this review. These were: Iron but no ironing board, no tea towel or draining board for washed pots, large tv fixed to wall but the lead was not long enough to reach any plug sockets, washing machine but nowhere to dry washing or wet towels (a key reason for us selecting this apartment was the washing machine), not many sockets for 4 people as the smaller bedroom and dining room/third sleeping space had only one socket that was needed to plug in fans for these rooms - also sockets in odd locations. The biggest negative by far was the shower. This consisted of a half bath which you stepped into and a shower head which you had to hold over your head as there was no shower hook. We were provided with instructions to turn hot water on for 30 mins before showering for 2 people or 60 mins for 4 people. The hot water was so hot I scalded my hand at the kitchen sink, thankfully this was before anyone tried to have a shower. We emailed the hosts to say that we were concerned about guests being scalded as boiler seems to have no thermostat control but got a response simply advising that we should only turn on the hot water for 20 mins or so. They seemed unconcerned about the risk of guests being hurt.

Read the full review. It's in a cozy, peaceful area of old town, close to great views of the sea and the fortress. There are 2 AC's and they do the job well! The dishwasher took a little trial and error to learn how to start up but it worked - yay.

The entire apartment is in a dire need of renovation. It's in an unacceptable condition for the price that is being asked for for it. The floor was not clean, it was dusty and had shoe stains from previous visitors / whomever. Dishes & cutlery were no clean - the cabinets smelled like old dust & wood. There was a general smell of old in the kitchen. The shower is quite small, simple and old. The big bed is falling appart - way different than on the advertised photo. The small bed was very hard according to friend's sentiment. The living room sofa had stains on it which made it unatractive to sit on. Below you will find attached the photos of the apartment we were in before this, AND FOR THE SAME PRICE. The apartment was incredibely clean and had brand new everything in it. It does not take a lot to fix up an apartment with basic, good looking, cheap and modern furniture. This apartment is a cash grab.
