Irene Apartments

We stayed at the apartments across the road from the reception. I have never stayed in accommodation this poor. Self catering facilities are basic. No microwave and no oven, only a kettle, toastie machine, two hotplates and a fridge that leaked water all over the floor. Old stained lampshades that don't match. Dull lighting can't see to get ready at night. Bathroom roof had black mould on it and apartment was damp. Room service was very poor, toilet bins only emptied every second day. Random towel changes. We stayed for two weeks and only one bed change!!! Agious Gordios is a lovely place with lots of shops and brilliant restaurants. I would come back to the village but definitely not to Irene's. The thought of going back to that dull dingy apartment spoiled our holiday. Do not stay here.

The Irene apartments are okay with the appearance of it, I would say it looks better in the photos. Air conditioning is not included in the price, you have to pay extra for it 6 euros per day. The shower curtain is dirty and sticks to you as you shower. We also got water turned off on the last day with no warning and there were no notifications for it. We had no idea when it will come back on and had to buy large bottles of water to wash our faces etc spoke with one of the shop assistants for the nearby supermarket and we were told that Irene is the only one who does this and he kept on apologising, although it was not his fault. I would recommend to book other hotels nearby and there are lots of them. Irene apartments does have a nice pool and the staff at the pool bar are so nice and friendly, but you can still use the pool if you stay at a nearby hotel as long as you spend 10 euros there.

Terrible room, I have stayed in tired old rooms but they have always been clean, ours was not . WATER RATIONED FOR SET HOURS. Cannot flush chain, wash hands out of hours. Freedom to shower when you want not possible, had to plan day around water. Sheets not changed all week, towels once. Cleaneris a lovely lady, but cannot do a good job, too many rooms and not enough water, told when to do towels and sheets. Think she is scared of owner, poor lady, wouldn't want to work for the owners. Spoke to other holiday makers, no other accommodation has WATER RATIONED. Extra euros for air con. Pool staff friendly. Mozzies everywhere, probably due to hygiene and big drain pipe next block into infested pit. Right on road, noisy, fumes, more dirt and dust. WIFI terrible drops out all the time. Stayed poolsde block 2. Cheap but not cheerful. AVOID.

Just got back from here and am already figuring out when to return next year. You get the warmest of stress free welcomes here, and it's clear people go back again and again. Book direct and book a private airport transfer with them too. Best to book evening restaurants in the town at least a day in advance.

My experience at Irene Apartments in Agios Gorgios - Corfu was a terrible one. On the first day when I arrived there, at approximately 5 p.m., I did not find anyone at the reception, the schedule being from 10:00 - 12:00, not being informed by either the travel agency or the accommodation regarding this aspect . . Well, that wasn't the big problem, because I found the keys in the door. The big problem was to find out that the resort had a breakdown in the water supply system, and because of this, most of the restaurants and lodgings did not have water. You can imagine, after 17 hours of driving, all I wanted at that time was a shower, but where did the water come from? I called the lady at the reception on the number left on the door, about 3 times, only for her to answer me in the end and tell me in a rather reserved tone that I had confused her with the phones and that I was insisting a lot . (the schedule on the door for contacting that phone number is until 11:00 p.m.). I tried to ask for clarification about the water situation, it was explained to me briefly, dryly and the lady's English was quite difficult, so I told her that I didn't understand exactly everything and she said "ohh, ok, byee" and -he hung up the phone in his nose, as they say. When we also looked for her through messages and explained her situation, she replied quite dryly with "tragic". Ok...I understand the general situation, but don't take my money for granted! The water supply interval for the accommodation was two hours in the morning and two hours in the evening. The water wasn't enough for all the accommodation, on the upper floors because of the pressure it didn't even go up...so it wasn't proposed IF WE WANT TO HAVE WATER, WE BUY DRINKS, AS WELL AS A BAG IN WHICH WE CAN STORE THE WATER. Should I also tell you that the basin was not filled with water at the toilet even during the supply interval?? I had to keep myself from needing the toilet too much while I was at the accommodation, because I had nothing to draw water with! Obviously we were not compensated of any kind, I bought water, I washed myself most of the time with a bottle and in the toilet I poured water from the can! It is true that the problem was all over the resort, but we were also interested in the other accommodations and those were better supplied with water by the owner and did not have too many shortages. This was not the case with us, we paid the full price for accommodation with normal conditions and the actual conditions received were not half as good as those paid for! I even put money from my pocket to cover my BASIC needs. The cleanliness was very poor, I don't think the stove was ever wiped with more than a cloth moistened with water, the shower curtains were black at the base, due to mold, the walls were full of blood stains (probably from crushed mosquitoes) , including the ceiling as well. There was no mosquito net on the doors and windows. When cleaning was done, I found the doors to
