Ariti Grand Hotel Corfu

a very quiet environnement in winter time

no kettles available in the rooms

No comfort, very far from city center, no restaurant

The Ariti is well located in the Konani peninsula (10 euro taxi drive from the airport) with a pair of very nice local cuisine restaurants, a mini-market, a car rental place, a tourist shop and even a Starbucks within 150m or less. The hotel in front of the Ariti has a Casino and they had no trouble with one showing up. The Ariti itself is clean, spacious and what you would expect from a 3 star hotel.

Ok, here is were most reviews focus on. It is really, really close to the airport and some claim that the noise if unbearable. this is not true. Yes you can hear the planes land and leave but we almost did not notice it. The pool was not functional because they were in repairs (and the tourist season was over, they are really serious about the tourist season so if you are planning to go after mid-November do not expect most tourist tours or stores to be open). There is no wifi internet, and the response to when it will be available is always tomorrow (which became the joke of the trip). So if you are in a budget or have to attend an event at the Aquis 5 star hotel and cannot afford it, then definitely stay here (it is literally in front)

Easy parking, polite staff, good room size, nice balcony with view of pool, spacious restaurant

So close to airport that the aircraft noise was too loud and needed windows to be closed but Air con not very efficient. Fridge - black, mouldy and smelly. Toilet brush had never been bleached looked horrible. Pool not working due to too much rain and lack of chemicals
