Ok but noisy and old fashioned
The hotel is an old fashioned style Greek hotel. Very cramped bathroom and very hard to shower without making all the floor wet . The view is very good to Mouse Island and beyond but being on the flight path to the Corfu airport it is very noisy as the aircraft are very low on the approach.

The hotel is right next to the sea and has its own private beach/bar/restaurant but it is rundown and I think our room may have had mold because we could not stop sneezing. It's okay for a quick night of stay near the airport but I would not plan a vacation around it. If coming from airport, you can take bus 15 to station with bus 6 and take bus 6 all the way to Perama (Aegli station). It's about a 30-45 minute drive for about 4 euros per person.

Perfect budget hotel near Corfu town.
It's absolutely a perfect budget staying near Corfu town, for only 50€/night per room, you get a private pool, private beach, breafast included for both guests. The only disadvantage is being a little bit far from the city center (especially when you don't have a car).

Wèekend getaway
Hotel is in a gtreat location just south of Corfu Town, quiet location with a few local tavernas around. Short car or bus ride to Corfu Town or can walk via causeway across bay. Hotel has good sized pool & its own access to sea with amazing views. Great restaurant & bar, plus breakfast buffet has a good selection. Room was fine & the views across the bay are stunning, weĺl woth paying ectra for a sea view. Also have use of well equipped gym across the road from hotel. What made my stay soecial was the staff, akways friendly & reaĺly helpful. I would definatley stay here again.

The receptionist was rude and did not want to assist. The room offered is in the basement and when we asked why, they said we need to explicitly request it. There are no support staff, no cleaners, no kitchen, no bar service, nothing at all. When asked why, they said the staff are on vacations. The hotel is next to the airport and the noise is excruciating, the balcony or the outdoor area cannot be used. The garden and balconies are full of mosquitos as well as inside, and there is no net door to stop them and the property is not taken care of, to eliminate that. There is no breakfast option, no buffet, they do not even sell water, the receptionist points you to the road and says go to the mini market for what you need. The bathroom was full of ants and the pool had no signs of how deep it is, and it turns out it is 1.8m deep at its shallowest point, and the receptionist did not inform us although she saw we have a 7 year old child.

A reasonably priced hotel in close proximity to the airport. It is a relaxing place between the aircraft arrivals and departures that have a flight path with in 100,s of metres of the hotel. This is not a negative to the hotel if you enjoy seeing aircraft up close and I consider quite a experience for never been so close to aircraft before. Others whom dislike aircraft noise this hotel would not be a good choice. Other than that a good 2-3 star accommodation

Overnight stay
The hotel was fine for our purpose and breakfast, as many others have reported, was good. We were there for only one night and had booked knowing it was close to the airport. Aeroplane noise is a major problem throughout the day with planes flying past and over the hotel on a regular basis. Probably best for plane spoters. Not much happening locally. The hotel compares favourably on cost with other local overnighters.

Great view of Mouse Island.
We booked one night because it was near the airport. Should have been longer. The view from our balcony was beautiful. Breakfast was tasty. The access to the sea is good, even though they don't have a beachfront. Those who complain that the planes are loud are right. Everything else makes up for that.

We have just had six nights at the Pontikonissi and had a good time. The hotel is literally by the sea with the shoreline a stone’s throw from the rooms. We would happily go again.

An old hotel with nice staff
In the first day, we were given a room on the 4th floor with extremely small bathroom that made it even impossible to use the toilet. The bed was a twin one, even though I requested a double bed in my booking. However, the receptionist was so nice to move us into a double-bed bedroom that was bigger with a great bathroom. All staff were nice and helpful, especially the receptionists. The rooms are air-conditioned, which is a must in such a place. Public transportation is easily accessible, but the times of the bus are ridiculous. So, my advice is to rent a car as it would make it much easier to navigate the island. Now to the most important thing: The sea is not good for swimming at all as it is smelly and extremely rocky. That is why the hotel has a swimming pool. My advice is to book in another area, such as Dassia in order to have a better swimming experience. Otherwise, buy a swimming shoes as it makes it much better to go into the sea.The airport is next to the hotel, and the planes flying past were not a distraction. Actually, it was entertaining! I would suggest to walk 5 minutes to the bridge in the sea and watch the sunset there as the view is really worth it with the arriving planes! If you do not have high expectations, the hotel is good in general. Yet, the price is not justified at all as you can go to better places/hotels, such as in Spain (Barcelona), with comparable prices.

basic and cheap.
I first noticed the hotel was dated, and when we went to our room for the first time we noticed the shower was broken. And the next morning we went to sun bathe on their private beach, but we could not stay as the smell of sewerage was over powering. This smell when the wind blew towards the hotel would be in our room. This hotel should be rated as 2 star at most.

Wow!
Absolutely great. Hotel was such a suprise. Staff were superb so helpful. We didn't arrive until 2 in the morning but as we got out of the car we were instantly greeted by a great guy who immediately made you feel very welcome. We were there a short time but decided within half an hour we'd go back and we will! Location and views were great. It was lovely. Thank you to all at the staff at the hotel.

Old Hotel with sea views
Initially we were put in a small room on the second floor with an impossible shower and what we thought were bedbugs! We were moved into a different room the next day which was much better and more comfortable. our expectations were not high but it was a good base from which to explore. The staff were all very helpful and public transoprt was easily accessible. The pool, although next to the road, was a reasonable size and clean. Getting into the sea over the stones was a bit of a challenge but swimming shoes helped and we would say is an absolute must. The rooftop bar served snacks and a range of drinks but there were several good places to eat within walking distance which were very well priced. The aircraft flying past was not a distraction and seemed to entertain most guests! The rooms were airconditioned which heled. Overall the hotel delivered on what we expected and we would reurn there but not to the second floor!

Beautiful views, mediocre breakfast, bad sewage smell in bathroom. Advice: don't take a cab from the airport. It is a very short ride and they charged us 25 euros. There are buses to the airport and Corfu town too.

Nice location
The location is great if you want to see Corfu Town. The cafe bar and the food served were reasonably priced and good quality. The service was not particularly good in the hotel. The gentleman at the desk struggled to find a pillow for our daughter even though wine had actually booked a family room. We were informed that there wasn't a room available and she had to sleep with us. We didn't mind this as the bed was big enough but she still needed a pillow. The man gave me what I can only describe as the cushion from an outdoor patio chair. Not clean or comfortable so I declined. Eventually he found one but it was not clean. Having said all this I am used to Greek ways and the location was lovely. Great view and only a short ride on the bus to the centre. It was once considered the eight of luxury I imagine but time, poor investment and the economy has left it looking tired. Better service might compensate for this.

Für den Preis viel zu gut
Alter, was ist das für ein Hotel? Der Preis war sehr günstig, also wurde nicht viel erwartet, sollte nur eine Nacht halten und dann sehen wir die Aussicht. Hammer, damit haben wir nicht gerechnet und die Flugzeuge im Landeanflug über das Meer so nah und von den Geräuschen okay. Perfekt Am Morgen schnell ein Kaffee und so eine billige Brotscheibe...als wir sahen was es da alles gab haute es uns fast um. Da wurde mal richtig groß aufgefahren und richtig lecker. Wir haben uns geärgert, dass wir nur einen Tag gebucht hatten. Da kann man es aushalten. Und deshalb werden wir bald wieder mur fürs WE dort hin fliegen. Bei allem Lob, die Zimmer waren okay, hätten aber mal etwas Kosmetik nötig

Hotel muito simpático. A comida do bar era muito boa e com preço honesto. As atendentes muito simpáticas. Não achei barulhento como vi nos demais comentários. Achei que era mais próximo ao centro histórico, mas a pé demora uma hora e meia. Porém e próximo a uma igrejinha muito simpático que fica em uma pequena ilha com acesso por uma espécie de passarela.
