Guest Reviews
- Beatrix (10/5): -
- Anat (8/5): - Super friendly staff, comfortable, great location near Gouvia Beach and 300 meters from the Gouvia Marina.
- Joh02 (4/5): Hotel clean & fresh, Pool disgusting! - 17-24 July 2025. Staff very pleasant. Breakfast adequate. Our room was accessed on 2nd floor via a very small hot outside lift. (Wouldn’t want to get stuck in here for any length of time as was boiling just after one floor!) Room & bathroom where quite small but comfortable & clean. (Room was for x3 persons, 3rd person slept on very small pull out sofa bed. Sofa only acceptable for small child not really big enough for not an adult.) Really hot 40C+ degree heat when we stayed so needed to keep cool all the time. Free Air con was great! But, disappointment was the shared pool with hotel next door. Disgusting! ... Worried we would catch some for of infection entering pool area. Water was so mirky on some days you couldnt even see the bottom of the pool! Dirty muddy pool walkway areas as well, the whole area needed a really good jet wash! Obviously hadn’t been done that season! Lots of food & cups / glasses / cigarette buts left for days on side of pool. Broken dirty sun beds where the last straw! Hotel itself didnt want to take responsibility for the pool as said it was the hotel next door’s responsibility. Gave it a pass on further days ... Paid to use the pool at Apartments Zefiros just 10min up the road which was super clean & superb. Lots of pleasant restraunts varying in price around the village. BBQ ART was our favourite! Area outside the village was very unkept. Side roads around the hotel were not good. Lots of general house hold debris & rubbish - lots of empty plastic bottles etc thrown by side of road into the grassed areas. Enjoyed, the Sunset cruise was lovely & good value for money. Hotel didnt want to take any responsibility for the shared hotel pool. Its was disgusting! Cloudy water & unkempt pool area.

- Djordjevic (9/5): - Hotel sa veoma ljubaznim osobljem koji izlaze u susret gostima da se osećaju kao kod kuće.
- Dror (9/5): - Good atmosphere, courteous and professional staff, good breakfast.The location is excellent. We returned there again mainly because of the excellent staff that runs the hotel. You have to climb the stairs with your luggage. There is one elevator but it is far away.
- amnon (8/5): -
- Andrea Bruno (9/5): - L'hotel soddisfa tutte le aspettative. Il personale è molto gentile e disponibile e l'hotel è tenuto bene. La camera è molto ampia e in tre si stava perfettamente. Anche il balcone era bello spazioso e c'era posto per stendere tutti i teli mare.
Colazione internazionale soddisfacente, offre ciò che ci si aspetta, senza troppi fronzoli.
La spiaggia di Gouvia non è bellissima, perciò molto consigliato avere una macchina per muoversi. Lì vicino c'è un parcheggio libero dove si trova posto senza problemi È andato tutto bene. Se proprio devo trovare delle pecche direi che in bagno non ci sono molti punti dove appoggiare le cose, ma sono davvero dettagli minimi non così necessari.
- Loredana (10/5): Dovessi tornare a Corfu lo riscelglierei! - La camera spaziosa e accogliente! Pulita e riordinata ogni giorno con vista sulla piscina e colazione abbondante per tutti i gusti! A 15 min di auto da Corfu sulla strada principale di Gouvia dove ci sono ristoranti e negozietti vari,anche una sala giochi! Occorrerebbe un po’ di manutenzione al bagno ma per il resto tutto bene 😊
- Levente (9/5): - Sürgősen kellett szállást keresnünk, így szerencsénk volt, hogy itt volt még hely. Nagyba felülmúlta az elvárásainkat, mivel nagyon tiszta volt, az ár tartalmazta a medence használatát és a személyzetre pedig csak jót lehet mondani. Nagyon kedves és segítőkész volt mindenki. A reggeli bőséges volt nem maradtunk éhen A matrac és a párna egy kicsit kemény volt számunkra
- Alexander (8/5): Very nice getaway! - Room was really comfortable; staff was simply fantastic!
- Debra (10/5): Lovely accommodations, very friendly and helpful staff, very convenient location. - Close to restaurants and the marina. Breakfast was great! Not a thing.
- Kimm (10/5): Wonderful - Very attentive staff!!!
- Sarah (9/5): Good stay - good location - lovely staff - Swimming pool - excellent size for those who enjoy swimming. Nothing
- Adrian (1/5): Preisleistung sehr schlecht - Lager war o. k.. Es hat viele Läden Shops in der Nähe. Es war sehr laut und man hörte alles ihren Schritt. Man konnte nicht ausschlafen. Und Frühstück war nichts besonderes.
- Traveller☺ (8/5): Un po’ caro - Hotel abbastanza recente, ben tenuto
Aria condizionata e Wi-Fi ok Manca l’ascensore
Colazione abbastanza scarsa
- moshe (7/5): Solid . Good location. Nice people. - Was ok for our family.
- Ann (8/5): Pool area - Area atound the pool needed cleaning daily! However it wasnt
- Katia (9/5): Perfekt - Super Freundlichkeit

- Carola (7/5): -
- Michael (7/5): One day staying - I liked the staff, very helpful and careful, always with a smile.
Location, near to beach and marina Gouiva.
The pool: is essential in hot July.
There are a lot of restaurants near the hotel . Did not like - small room, claustrophobic corridors in the hotel, broken shower handle, and the curtain in the shower cabin. The pillows, one of them too big and tough another one too small and soft.
- Elizabeth (9/5): Friendly hotel in great location in Gouvia town - Friendly, welcoming, helpful staff. Clean, comfortable room with balcony. Great location in Gouvia town - very short walk to beach, restaurants & bars. Nothing
- Gerard (9/5): Great hotel will certainly return - Great location, very good breakfast. Excellent staff N /A
- Bogdan (8/5): -
- Aoife (9/5): -
- susan (8/5): Lovely little hotel spotlessly clean and wonderful staff - Location was brilliant, room clean and modern, staff were excellent. Only disappointment was the restaurant wasn't open during our stay , when we went to the resort last year we ate in the restaurant and we were looking forward to returning. Didn't spoil holiday at all as plenty of restaurants in area. Staff were very apologetic. Would definitely return
- Michelle (6/5): -
- Peter (8/5): Ok für eine Nacht. Vielleicht gibt es Zimmer in einem anderen Gebäudeteil, wo das Leitungsproblem nicht besteht. - Gute Lage, freundliche Leute, sauber, Frühstück ok. Sehr ringhörig, Wasserleitungen pfeifen bei jeder WC-Spülung.
- Piret (8/5): loved it! - pool, balconies, a big sofa in addition to beds breakfast coffee could have been much better
- Roberto (7/5): -
- N Cadas (8/5): - Chambre, piscine et amabilité/gentillesse du personnel. Restaurant un peu bruyant en soirée.
- nina842 (7/5): - La stanza aveva delle dimensioni sufficienti e un piccolo terrazzino dotato anche di un piccolo stendino. L' albergo è dotato di un ristorante che mostra attenzione anche al senza glutine. Prodotti senza glutine su richiesta vengono forniti al momento anche per la colazione. L' aria condizionata non funzionava. Abbiamo lasciato l'aria a 24 per diverse ore e anche avvicinando la mano non usciva aria. Il rumore della stessa era fastidioso. Eravamo molto stanchi e non abbiamo contato la reception che magari avrebbe potuto aiutarci. La stanza è molto semplice e il bagno un po' datata per il prezzo che abbiamo pagato non l' ho trovato all'altezza.
- Anett (5/5): -
- John (7/5): Small clean hotel with helpful and friendly staff close to the beach - Breakfast was good with a variety to choose from but a selection of more fruit would have been good. The pool area, beds could do with being updatedc
- Andrew (8/5): -
- Dariusz (10/5): -
- Okan (7/5): - - very nice employees
- breakfast had a lot of options, it consisted of fruits, cheese, olives, salad, tomato, eggs, bacon, beans, different types of tasteless cereals, 2 types of fried stuff filled with cheese and spinach as well as reheated croissants. - water pressure low
- pool already closes at 6pm
- bathroom was not properly cleaned at arrival
- Ollie (6/5): -
- Monique (9/5): Gouvia -emplacement sympa et pratique 8 - La gentillesse et l’amabilité du personnel,les bons conseils d’Anastasia à la réception, les bons plats du restaurant et le confort des chambres.
- John (8/5): -
- Anett (6/5): -
- John (9/5): would recommend and return good value for the cost - comfortable stay in a well done renovated hotel. all the amenities you could want. stairs are narrow hallways
it’s a completely refurbished older hotel
beautifully done but unfortunately can not overcome the structural limitations of the hall and connected areas
not a deterrent, only an fyi
- Richard (10/5): Great location in centre of Gouvia - 24 hour reception as we arrived after midnight. Good breakfast included Nothing
- Christian (9/5): - Freundlich Parkplatz war weiter weg
- Ayelet (6/5): באנו ללילה אחד - לא היינו נשארים מעבר, מקום מותאם יותר לצעירים. - ארוחת הבוקר בסיסית , מוגשת באזור שהיה בו ריח לא נעים. רועש, מעברים משונים, אין מקום לעצור רגע לפרוק מזוודות כי הרחוב צר ועמוס
- sabrina (6/5): - personale disponibile e accogliente Colazione mediocre, lo spazio riservato alla colazione è angusto e non piacevole.
Tutta l'architettura dell'hotel è tale da limitare la privacy anche nelle stanze, decisamente costoso rispetto all'offerta.
- Ryan Pol (9/5): - De ligging, midden in het centrum.
Vlak bij het strand De bedden waren wat hard
- Fiodorova (9/5): - Очень приветливый персонал, чистый отель, номера просторные, с балконом во внутренний дворик к бассейну. Номера убирают ежедневно, бассейн чистый (также чистят каждый день). Парковка рядом с отелем, также вокруг много кафе, магазинчиков, есть аренда машин. Пляж который находится недалеко от отеля грязный, купаться там было бы не очень приятно, но так как у нас была машина мы уезжали на другие пляжи. Завтрак нормальный, найти для любого вкуса что-то можно, хотя выбор не очень разнообразный. Хорошего пляжа рядом нет, завтрак средний.
- Alison3276 (8/5): - Very friendly, very clean.
- Panayiota (10/5): -
- Sanja (9/5): - friendly staff, clean room, gift (wine) upon arrival, swimming pool, quiet and efficient air conditioning in the room occasionally poor mobile network signal (although this is not the hotel's fault but the Greek mobile operator's) and sometimes bad wi-fi (hotel's fault)
- Marielle (8/5): Genoten van onze verblijf, schoon en netjes en vriendelijk personeel. - Erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel.
De hotelkamer was schoon en comfortabel. Ontbijt was ook goed en uitgebreid.
Lokatie erg goed, in het centrum en dicht bij het strand. Niets
- Suzy (10/5): Fantastic - Reception staff very helpful, rooms were clean. Pool was nice atmosphere was friendly
- סוזי (10/5): -
- Kiki (8/5): Excellent all round - Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful in every way . For a three star hotel it exceeded our expectations . We ended up also having a meal there in the evening which was delicious . Best mousaka I’ve had in ages .
- Sabrina (10/5): - Tutto fantastico! Camera essenziale ma molto pulita. Colazione e cena varie e buone! Personale sempre gentile e disponibile. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo. Complimenti. Nulla.
- Jan (7/5): Nice stay - Location was excellent Nothing really, except for breakfast, which was oke, but simple
- Piotr (10/5): - wszystko mi sie podobalo
- Barbara (10/5): Davvero una scelta azzeccata - L hotel è in centro a Gouvia, ottima posizione se si vuol girare l isola (a 200 mt c è un parcheggio gratuito), se si resta in paese la spiaggia è a 100 metri e comunque la struttura dispone di piscina con ombrelloni e lettini.
Ci è stata assegnata una stanza davvero carina, letto divano, armadio, scrivania, un bel terrazzino con poltrona e divano affacciato alla piscina. Bagno piccolo ma funzionale. Ottima e varia la colazione. Volendo si può cenare al ristorante dell hotel, provato una sera alla carta: ottimo cibo, buoni i prezzi.
Quello che a noi l ha reso un luogo speciale è stata sicuramente la gentilezza e disponibilità dello staff, sempre disponibili per qualsiasi nostra domanda o dubbio, una vacanza davvero speciale. Nulla
- Karin (9/5): Sehr gut für ein paar Tage vor dem Abflug. Nähe zur Hauptstadt, Toller Pool. Balkon Comfortz. bequem - Das Frühstück war eher Continental/ englisch. Kaffeemaschine mit vielen Möglichkeiten. Gefiltertes Wasser. Kleine warme Leckereien. Zu wenig Obst, Joghurt und Gemüse.
- Monika (9/5): -
- Francoise (5/5): Hôtel placé dans une rue où la circula était importante donc pas très calme et pas très pratique - La chambre Pas de parking. La nourriture pas terrible
- Richard (10/5): Great room, great staff , great location - Firstly the staff and owners were excellent, everyone who works there have the happiness of their guests at heart 👍 Nothing
- Irina (8/5): - Zimmer gut ausgestattet Frühstück könnte besser sein, z.B. Warme Spiegeleier, besserer Orangensaft
- Miloš (9/5): - Great location, very good breakfast, friendly staff
- Magdalini (10/5): Super immer wieder gerne - So nah am Meer und nah an die Sehenswürdigkeiten
- Mark (8/5): Late checkout is appreciated!!! - Polite and professional staff who gave us a late checkout, good A/c, nice linen, comfy beds. Good bathrooms. Good value breakfast. Nil.
- Oleg (9/5): - Bequemes Zimmer, gute Ausstattung, großer Pool und leckeres Frühstück! Was will man mehr! Nichts, außer, dass der Urlaub zu kurz war ;)
- Erik (8/5): - The location is perfect Everything was ok
- Markus (7/5): Einfaches aber sauberes Hotel in guter Lage zu den Stränden von Gouvia. - Das Frühstück enthält auch typisch griechische Speisen. Die Auswahl an klassischen Frühstücksspeisen war ausreichend. Das Hotel macht einen sauberen Eindruck, und die Dame an der Rezeption war außerordentlich freundlich und hilfsbereit. Lediglich der Kaffee aus dem Automaten fiel hier aus der Reihe, darf man eine andere Erwartung an Kaffee in Griechenland.
- Nick (10/5): Very welcoming and super clean hotel - Great welcome, very clean. Great evening dinner and wide choice at breakfast. Good location for Gouvia. Really enjoyed the short stay. —
- Christophe (10/5): -
- John (9/5): -
- Tolles Hotel mit Charme (6/5): - Das Personal war freundlich und das Zimmer sauber mit Aussicht auf den Pool. Das Frühstücksbuffet offerierte eine gute Auswahl. Angebllich soll es ein Luxus-Hotel sein..... aber die sehr harte Matratze war alles andere als Luxus. Ausserdem war der Kompressor des Kühlschranks ziemlich laut. Ich finde es nicht in Ordnung, auf booking.com Zimmer mit Terrasse und Gartenmöbeln anzubieten, die gar nicht vorhanden sind. Was ich erhalten habe, war ein Standard-Doppelzimmer mit Balkon, was nicht der Reservation entsprach. Es wurde mir gesagt, dass in einem anderen dazugehörenden Hotel mit anderem Namen nahe der Hauptstrasse verschiedene Zimmerkategorien vorhanden seien. Das war eine Enttäuschung.
- Yi (8/5): -
- DAVID (10/5): A really nice modern hotel in the heart of Gouvia - Very friendly staff and really helpful. Nice clean room, water in the fridge, milk provided and coffee. Great breakfast options and a lovely pool N/A
- ΜΥΡΣΙΝΗ (10/5): -
- James (10/5): -
- Keith (10/5): would definitely recommend - easy check, smart decor, well furnished rooms. great breakfast selection. nothing
- Beneta (8/5): -
- Monica (9/5): -
- Steven (8/5): Excellent choice for a few days before getting a flight - Very nice hotel with lovely food which is reasonably priced and the breakfast is excellent with a great array of food. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. To be honest, we wanted to be near to the airport for our flight out and didn't want to pay the prices charged in Corfu town so the hotel did the job for what we wanted even though we wouldn't choose to stay there as a base. The pool area lets the hotel down as it doesn't look inviting or particularly clean. The pool is shared with another hotel.

- davide (7/5): -
- THELMA (9/5): We loved Palotel Design Gouvia. It’s on the strip but it was never noisy. - So bright. Spotlessly clean always. The staff were excellent! So friendly too. Special mention to Angela & Tirini on Reception. Also lovely Spyridaula, Iris, Angela, Aurora & Panoru. Food delicious, good selection and always big portions. Not a big thing, but the sun loungers could be updated.
