Hotels near ＂Machos＂ Tourist Shop, Corfu

We were booked into this hotel in 2020 and then Covid hit so we had to cancel they were very understanding and refunded all our money so we knew we had to return and were so glad we did. The hotel is a short 5 minute walk from Ipsos beach and has plenty of parking if you have a car. It is up a slight hill if you have mobility issues but you should be oaky. Our room was clean and had everthing we needed.If you can get a sea view for great views.The room was also cleaned daily. The Wi FI was strong and worked all over the hotel. The grounds are well kept and the pool area was amazing with plenty of comfotable sun beds and a view over the Ionian sea. All the staff we met were helpful and friendly. The breakfast is buffet style and had all the usual Greek options and was served from 07.30 to 11.00. They do serve food around the pool in the day but I don't think they serve food in the evenings but don't worry as there are many great restaurants on the Ipsos ***** and further away ie Dassia/Corfu Town. If you are arrring by the number 7 bus just get off at City hall and walk down the road by En El Mar bar and you will find the sign for the hotel in a couple of minutes. We can higlhy recommend this hotel and would stay here again when in Ipsos.

We stayed here for a week as part of an EasyJet package and could not have been more thrilled with the hotel; spacious, incredibly clean, well appointed and staffed by some of the loveliest people. We had two superior garden view rooms and the views were indeed superior! Both had balconies and very effective air conditioning (included in the cost of the room) and the beds were very comfy. Small but perfectly formed bathrooms (with showers) which looked like they had been recently refurbished. Buffet breakfast was also included and was extensive; usual continental fare plus cooked dishes and even cake and baklava! (Top tip for those who like their British cuppa - take your own tea bags and a travel mug so you can make yourself a decent brew in the morning ;-) ) Beautiful grounds, well kept and a fantastic pool (open 9am -8pm) with plenty of loungers and chairs/ tables on the terrace with a choice of shady spots to cope with the very hot weather. The pool bar, serving drinks and a decent lunch menu was very good and fairly reasonably priced (for a tourist location). But what really made the stay was the staff - so friendly, welcoming and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble and they went out of their way to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The only slightly disappointing thing was that the restaurant no longer opens in the evenings and therefore the 'Greek night' advertised on the hotel website did not happen. It's also worth noting that Gouvia town and beach is down a *very* steep (although short) hill and across a frankly terrifying road - not so bad on the way down but a bit punishing on the way back up, especially in 37 degree heat! The town itself is quite run down and not the prettiest spot, although several very good eateries and beautiful warm sea to swim in - and seemed to be mostly catering to large groups of Scandinavian students - but this is not the fault of the hotel! Buses run to both Corfu Town and (in the other direction) to stunning Paleokastritsa very regularly, although they are often extremely busy (probably due to the cheap fares). All in all - excellent value for money, a beautiful and friendly hotel and a lovely stay!

Just arrived today - booked a villa and two bungalows but unfortunately one wasn’t available so daughter put in another room in hotel block and then having to move tomorrow then asked reception for a plug adaptor as phones all running out but can’t help - have to buy from shop tomorrow- not very 5 star it feels. Hopefully improves and can improve rating.

Perfect hotel for a few nights with a quick walk to the center of town. There is a small bar with outdoor seating that's perfect for a quick drink at the end of the night. The owners and staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be back when we return to Corfu

The word to sum up this lovely hotel with it's wonderful staff is.. Fantastic!! The hotel itself is dated, yes, however it has a kind of old world charm about it. Our impression from arriving to leaving was that we were stepping back in time to the 40s and 50s. Physically the building has echoes of a charming cruise liner, it is also perfectly positioned for everything the town and island has to offer. The staff were all extremely helpful, friendly and super attentive. The food was totally delicious and its presentation of a ”Masterchef” standard. Thankyou again to everyone at Corfu Palace for making our holiday so enjoyable. We will definitely be returning at some point in the future!

Το διαχρονικό αυτό ξενοδοχείο της Κέρκυρας (μη συγχέεται με το Corfu Palace) βρίσκεται έναντι αεροδρομίου με όμορφη θέα προς εκείνο και τη λιμνοθάλασσα από τη μια και προς τον κήπο από την πίσω μεριά. Είναι ιδανικό για παρέες/ οικογένειες ως τρία άτομα σε ένα δωμάτιο. Τα δωματια είναι σχετικά ευρύχωρα, κατακάθαρα, χωρίς όμως αναγκαία ηχομόνωση. Ο εξοπλισμός σε τηλεόραση, πρίζες είναι ξεπερασμένος. Το μπάνιο είναι καλό με ακαλαίσθητης πόρτες (χωρίς ηχομόνωση επίσης). Λείπει μαλακτικό μαλλιών αν και το νερό της Κέρκυρας θεωρείται σκληρό. Το πρωινό είναι καλό και ο υπεύθυνος στην είσοδο τυπικός Έλληνας του τουρισμού, φιλόξενος και φιλότιμος (παλαιός κοπής).Ωραίος εξωτερικός χώρος και κήπος σε συνέχεια με τον χώρο πρωινού. Ο κήπος γενικότερα θα μπορούσε να είναι και πιο φροντισμένος και η παιδική χαρά πιο γενναιόδωρη για παιδιά (αλλά είναι αμφίβολο αν αυτή είναι η σκοπιμότητα του ξενοδοχείου). Η πισίνα, καθαρή με όμορφο αν και στενάχωρο περιβάλλοντα χώρο.Διαθέτει ναυαγοσώστη! Το μπαρ θυμίζει λίγο πλοίο στη γραμμή Ελλάδα-Ιταλία και θα μπορούσε να είναι πιο ευχάριστο και πολυτελές. Κρύος καφές αδιάφορος. Δεν δοκιμάσαμε το εστιατόριο, αλλά πλησίον του ξενοδοχείου δεν υπάρχει εστιατόριο ούτε για δείγμα. Η εσωτερική σάλα είναι λιτή και καθαρή. Ο χωρίς στάθμευσης επίσης οριακά επαρκής για το μέγεθος επισκεψιμότητας του ξενοδοχείου. Η ρεσεψιόν μάλλον χλιαρή και απρόσωπη. Η σχέση τιμής/ποιότητας είναι υποφερτή. Αλλά σίγουρα το ξενοδοχείο θέλει σύντομα αναβάθμιση για να ανταποκρίνεται στην τιμή του.

As for the hotel, nothing to say, super good facilities. The downside is that the night we arrived, we arrived after check-in time (due to the delay of our flight), and despite having notified the situation in advance, they did not want to give us a solution. It wasn't until we arrived and insisted a little that in the end they sent us to an ”apart hotel” very close and they assumed the cost. We understand that at that time the system did not allow them to give us our room, but having notified us 4 hours in advance, I think they could have done something more to help us, in short, there was not so much collaboration and desire to help from the hotel. Other than that, it was a good stay.
