Couches were old and dirty. Spiders on the couches. Lady at counter was rude. Gentleman was very friendly. For the price, it was worth it for one night. Would not reccomend.

Not good value , deceiving pricing
They charge extra for air conditioning, this is not listed or disclosed on expedia sites, the additional cost for air conditioning takes this hotel out of the value bracket, breakfast is poor... way more value elsewhere... do not recommend.

Dear valued guest, the rate you selected was for an Economy room, which was sourced by a third-party affiliate of Expedia.com. We regret to hear you did not enjoy your stay with us. It would be very helpful to us if you also could have made this also know to our front desk. Regards.

Excellent stay
Very friendly staff and a hotel which exceeded our expectations. We were very happy with the traditional Greek breakfast- pies, 4 types ot bread, fruit, cheeses, a wide variety. Coffee could have been better but they had good tea options. We loved the pool area with beautiful flowers plus there was a table tennis table. Cleaning was extremely good with a daily service.

Lovely hotel
Room was a bit basic, but had all the important bits - comfortable bed, clean, good shower, hearty breakfast. Air con was a cost option that we didn't need/use. Pool is small - good for cooling off though. Beach is 5 mins walk away as is the centre of Gouvia.

Hotel Popistar
Our room was basic and clean, with twin beds a massive mirror and a fridge. The hotel was a little dated, this really didn't matter as the weather was lovely and hot and everything worked. The shower was in the bath with no shower curtain, but the shower worked well with a good force of water. The bathroom door didn't close properly, but for myself and my daughter this didn't really matter. The room had a nice balcony that was handy for drying towels and swimwear. The pool was lovely and refreshing, there was a pool bar nearby which sold drinks, but not snacks but the barman was happy to tell us where to buy snacks to eat at the local shop. On the last day we left our cases in the hotel and came back later when we had a last swim and could have showered before going to the airport.

Godt hotel og god pool.
Hotellet var rigtig fint og hyggeligt. Der var en dejlig pool med god plads, og gode muligheder for skygge. Receptionen var søde og hjælpsomme med alting, både billeje og taxi til lufthavnen. Rengøringen af værelserne var ikke så nem at regne med og de kom oftest på de tidspunkter af dagen hvor vi befandt os på hotellet. Derudover blev vi overasket over at man skulle betale ekstra for aircondition. Men helt generelt var det en god oplevelse at besøge hotellet.

Positivo: Il personale è cordiale ed è sempre a disposizione e parlano molte lingue. La posizione dell'hotel è ottima per chi preferisce muoversi con automezzo. Negativo: Colazione stile Internazionale molto ridotta. Piscina esterna molto più piccola di quanto si mostra nella foto sul sito. Siamo nel 2022 e l'aria condizionata costa 6.50€ al giorno. Puzza di fognatura nel bagno. Mancanza di tendina per la doccia. Letti scomodissimi.

Je suis partie seule avec mes enfants. Nous avons adoré ce séjour. L'hôtel est situé à proximité de quasiment tout! A peine à 15 min en bus de la ville de Corfou. La ville est très bien desservie en transport. Possibilité de louer scooter ou voiture mais nous n'avions pas besoin. Le personnel de l'hôtel est très chaleureux, à l'écoute et sympathique. Ils seront vous conseiller. Nous recommandons cette endroit.

Dear Mrs. Rieckmann, we are sorry to hear to you were not pleased with your stay. However, our records show that you stayed in room 402 which is one of the biggest and most quiet rooms we offer.It's difficult to see how noise at night made it impossible to sleep. Furthermore, if that were the case, we would be more than willing to offer a fix to your problem if you had contacted the hotel's reception during your stay. We remain at your disposal.

Better spend your money somewhere else
I would definitely not recommend it for future stays. Although close to Corfu town, it is located in a very touristic area and you get zero sense of Greece or Corfu in general. The stuff was not helpful or understanding at all given there are last-minute changes caused by covid that travelers have zero control over and all they care about is to make sure they get paid since as they say "it is a business". Too bad they don't understand the benefits a "business" could have from basic client service tactics. I have been to Corfu so many times and I have stayed in way better places for even lower budget so it's not even a value for money issue

A 10 minuti in auto dal porto, vicino a negozietti
Strutturalmente un po' vetusto. Camera più o meno accettabile ma con bagno minuto. Il condizionatore vecchio, lento e tremendamente rumoroso. Abbiamo dovuto adeguarci al rumore x non finire arrosto ma verso le 4 del mattino abbiamo spento x poter dormire un po'. Inutile dire della TV che nn portava alcun canale italiano. La colazione invece varia ed abbondante.
