Hotels near Ionian University Central Library, Corfu

Thirty years ago I had my first stay at the Arcadion. Walked up to the veranda from an early ferry arrival to see umbrella sheltered tables, had fresh coffee, rich yogurt with Greek honey and waited for my parents to join me. In the intervening years, this is the go-to hotel for my family. A decade ago I was so disappointed to arrive to see the first floor overtaken by a McDonald’s. Upon arrival this year, I was tearfully delighted to see the McDonald’s replaced by the Arcadion Bistro. Rooms have also been renovated but retain the charm I remember from long ago. Service is excellent, rooms are well appointed and this will always be where I stay in Corfu.

The hotel is not central to Corfu Town but you can get there in 20 minutes on foot. the hotel does not have its own beach but right in front of the hotel there is a descent to the sea where you can swim but it is not a real beach. A 3-minute walk away is the mon repose beach (2 sunbeds and 1 umbrella 28 euros) it is a quiet beach equipped with bathroom, showers and bar. The hotel has very nice common areas but the rooms are tiny and badly maintained, we booked for 10 days and the room was so small that we didn't have room for our suitcases, I asked for a bigger room but they replied that they were all the same, I pointed out that they were completely different from the rooms advertised on the site and they replied that those were old photos. The non-existent cleaning, in 10 days they never swept or mopped the floor in the room, often even the bathroom was dirty after the daily cleaning. They often forgot to leave us shampoo and shower gel and towels on the last day so I had to call and ask to bring what was missing. In short, a constant stress. The curtains and bedspread were dirty and stained. Hygiene was also very poor, in the breakfast room pigeons were flying over the buffet and when I pointed out that it was a hygiene problem I was told that it was a problem they were trying to solve but hadn't managed to solve yet, to apologize that day they gave us free cappuccinos that we had ordered for breakfast and a bottle of wine in the room (cappuccinos and espresso coffee are considered extras and cost 3.80 euros ... per day ...) Given my complaints about poor services, non-existent cleaning and non-existent hygiene, they offered us a 15-minute foot massage at the hotel spa, a pity that they offered us this salty gift in the evening and on Monday we had to leave and for Sunday there were no seats… in short, a fool's errand! Upon arrival they did not offer us welcome champagne as they did with other guests. Luckily I speak English because no one speaks Italian (only one guy speaks Italian and he usually works the night shift and is very kind and helpful). The hotel does not have private parking but it is quite easy to park in the immediate vicinity. Overall the hotel is beautiful and in an excellent position and has all the credentials to be a truly 4-star hotel but they should be more respectful and attentive to the customer and improve hygiene and cleanliness

We stayed two nights, and we really liked it. The GOOD: - The swimming pool area is spotlessly clean; - The swimming pool bar and restaurant is a dream, and the cocktails and service by Christos are second to none; - The room was spacious, clean, with wonderful Daikin air conditioning; - The breakfast is great. - The common areas are very elegant. The BAD: - It's in front of the airport runway so it's quite loud! It didn't bother us during the day, but you really notice it at night and early morning; - The dinner was meh, with the service a bit stressed/rushed; - The pillows are hard as rock. - The people upstairs made quite a lot of noise walking/dropping stuff on the floor.

Thank you very much everyone, great hospitality, thanks everyone we will be back soon,. Thanks to the kitchen staff we had all we needed for us, even when we asked for things they went OUT of their way with no stess. The recepti staff also was very Kind ❤️❤️❤️❤️

This short three-night trip in Kefu Island was found to be a five-star hotel near the airport because it was inconvenient to bring a baby. It was said that five stars were actually four stars at most. First of all Facilities: The facilities are still relatively complete, the spa three restaurants Japanese restaurant five-star praise, the ingredients are fresh, the service is very warm ❤️ recommended red wine 🍷 absolutely. Including the buffet in the hotel is quite general, Samsung half standard. Hygiene: We booked a relatively large balcony, the scenery outside the window is still quite beautiful, because the hotel may be older, the smell of the bathroom will reverse, the taste is still quite heavy, the air conditioning is not very big, the hotel is raining hot water also waited for a long time, Then the shower is also old and sprayed with water. room service Not bad, but every time I order something, I will receive 3.5 Ou. So it is best to put a little more in the refrigerator at once 😂 Environment: The hotel is large and has a separate resort room, and the green area is quite large. The location is also good. It is close to the old city, and there is a sightseeing bus at the door and a bus 1.7 in the center of the district. It is more convenient to go to the city center. Not far from the hotel, there are two good views bar&restaurant You can go here if you don't want to eat hotel food. There is a small convenience store at the door to buy things. Service: Do their 70min essential oil spa, chat with masseuses, pay 700 euros a month a year work six months. The other six months are in the restaurant, and they feel like they're not easy. The public pool is not very clean, the overall greening is not very good, but recommend the Japanese restaurant, the ingredients are fresh, we are very satisfied I paid a five euro tip, in Greece is a lot, but I am very happy to pay.

We spent a week here in August, and even though the hotel was full, it never felt crowded. We always found loungers on the beach or by the pool. The room was a decent size and was cleaned every day, and we always had clean towels. The breakfast and evening buffet always had a good selection of dishes. I would highly recommend this hotel as wonderful value for money.

The place is at a great location, the shops, restaurants and beaches are easily accessible, however a car is advisable to have in general when visiting Corfu. The apartment we stayed at was super tidy and clean, cleaning service was provided each day, the place has strong wifi, air conditioning, balcony, living room, comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen where you can prepare your food, but if it is not the case there is breakfast available with a variety of choices and freshly prepared eggs based on your taste. The view from the balcony was absolutely gorgeous, we could see the boats and airplanes from the balcony. The hosts were very friendly and gave us a lot of advices on where to go including a map as well. I don’t mind paying in advance as it is really worth it, however if for any reasons you cannot show up, it is better to have insurance for your trip, as there is no refund available. There is a fairly big swimming pool at the reception and bar area with sunbeds with a view at the sea. Would come again.

Hotel service is first class, although the location is a bit remote, the bus will be at the next stop at Guvia Station. After getting off, it takes six minutes to walk on the ramp. It is a bit inconvenient to have luggage, but the holiday is very good and the price is cheap. Include buffet breakfast and buffet dinner. Change some dishes every day and live comfortably There is a large pool If you go to the center of corfu and there is a bus stop in six minutes, you can stroll downtown Guvia after dinner in a few minutes. Blue Bus 15 travels from Kerkila Airport to downtown Kerkila. Bus No. 7 shuttles half an hour from downtown Kirchla to Guvira. The ticket price at the station is 1.5 Euro. You can buy more tickets to facilitate the journey to the city center. The ticket price on the Batu is more expensive, it seems to be 2.3 Euro. Take a taxi from the airport to the hotel about 20 to 25 euros.

We were booked into this hotel in 2020 and then Covid hit so we had to cancel they were very understanding and refunded all our money so we knew we had to return and were so glad we did. The hotel is a short 5 minute walk from Ipsos beach and has plenty of parking if you have a car. It is up a slight hill if you have mobility issues but you should be oaky. Our room was clean and had everthing we needed.If you can get a sea view for great views.The room was also cleaned daily. The Wi FI was strong and worked all over the hotel. The grounds are well kept and the pool area was amazing with plenty of comfotable sun beds and a view over the Ionian sea. All the staff we met were helpful and friendly. The breakfast is buffet style and had all the usual Greek options and was served from 07.30 to 11.00. They do serve food around the pool in the day but I don't think they serve food in the evenings but don't worry as there are many great restaurants on the Ipsos ***** and further away ie Dassia/Corfu Town. If you are arrring by the number 7 bus just get off at City hall and walk down the road by En El Mar bar and you will find the sign for the hotel in a couple of minutes. We can higlhy recommend this hotel and would stay here again when in Ipsos.
