Corfu Palace

The public spaces are very nice.

On arrival at the extremely grand canopy at the front door, we were a little disappointed to find the entrance blocked by a car. It's ok, we said, they're probably staying here and unloading luggage, just as we planned to do, so we waited, and we waited some more, then some more...Then we unloaded our car onto the sidewalk. I got back into our car, leaving my wife standing forlornly by the side of the road whilst I went to park up. Eventually, what seemed to be a member of staff came out of the hotel and moved it to the car park, then scurried back into the hotel ! No apology or explanation, and walked straight past my wife without even an offer to help. Then, we gathered our luggage and commenced battle with the revolving door. Imagine each of us laden with baggage , trying to push a heavy revolving door. It must have been amusing to the female member of staff sitting behind her counter just inside the door. And so to reception, where we were dealt with by a charming, and very efficient gentleman, but again, no sign of a porter to help with luggage. We decided that the bar, would be our next port of call, where another polite and efficient gentleman brought me a beer, and my wife a glass of wine. The whole experience, was slightly marred by what seemed to be a large table full of hotel staff enjoying a loud late lunch. Next, to our room, or should I say, oven, it's impossible to turn down the temperature in the room, however, it's nearly Christmas, so we should be cooked by then. What a disappointment !

The hotel is situated in the town center and only 1,5 km from the Airport. We have enjoyed the sea view from our room.

The hotel has not reached our expectations, wenn you go to 5 stars hotel, you expect something special. On the opposite, the room was very old, the bed was almost broken, the mini bar was absolutely empty, on the first day there were two bottles of water and on the second day there was nothing inside. We have asked if they can fill it up at least with water. The had done it, but we had to pay for it although we hadn’t drunk it. The breakfast was very simple, not very big variety of food. The next time we will choose definitely something different.
