The Royal Hotel

Je ne recommanderais cet hôtel à personne. A notre arrivée, nous étions censés choisir entre une chambre double ou une chambre double et il n'y a pas de chambre double disponible et nous étions en avance. Ensuite dans la chambre, pas de shampoing, pas de savon, la clim ne fonctionnait pas bien et faisait un bruit épouvantable même en mode veille. Un vieil ascenseur toujours occupé donc nous avons dû porter nos valises nous-mêmes jusqu'au 2ème étage. Ils ont dit qu'un parking était disponible pour les clients mais qu'il était complet et que nous avons donc dû aller nous garer ailleurs. La nourriture, surtout pour le petit-déjeuner, n'était pas bonne. Les sachets de thé dans la chambre étaient déjà ouverts. Et les tasses n'ont pas été nettoyées (je vous laisse observer les photos). Mis à part le lit confortable (mais séparé de mon partenaire) et la vue, nous n'avons rien apprécié. Cependant, ce n'est pas loin de la ville de Corfou en voiture, à environ 15 minutes.

Pas content du tout très mauvais emplacement à côté de la piste on ne peut pas dormir la nuit à cause des bruits

La réception pourrait être plus conviviale. L'emplacement est agréable.

Un accueil qui nous a mis complètement à l'aise, le personnel très professionnel et serviable. Nous avons été particulièrement frappés par la disponibilité, le professionnalisme et la gentillesse de Yota Panagiota Lenka David, prête à répondre à tous nos souhaits ! Merci beaucoup ! Félicitations à l'Hôtel Royal pour son personnel !

The hotel was brand new, very clean and all the staff members were so lovely. The bar staff, receptionists and cleaners helped us out so much. They offered us complimentary extended stay for 2 hotel rooms as our flights were late night. They cleaned our rooms regularly and also changed them free of cost because we wanted rooms with a better view. The receptionists helped us with travelling around the island, renting a cars, bikes and doing activities like horse Riding. Two receptionists especially called Lenka and Karena were amazing. Will definitely be visiting again. The location was very close to the airport, there was a bus stop 1 min walk away that went straight to town for 2 euros and came around every 15 minutes. We could also walk across the bridge made out of stone to see the planes go over and get a 3 euro boat ride to an island in the middle. We had very easy access to the beach and a lot of places also delivered to the hotel for food. Best hotel location so far.

Definitely a 3 out of 5 stars for this hotel. The rooms were adequate. A bit cosy, we had no desk to get ready at. However we did have a mini fridge, so pro’s and cons. Our bathroom was okay too, but the shower area needs some work as it was prone to flooding quite easily. We were also had a phone in the room, which did not work due to the faulty electrics at the wall. The food was very disappointing. We stayed for an all inclusive for 5 days, and definitely would have eaten out more if it was within our budget. They have a small selection for the buffet, which was not under heat lamps so lost their heat very quickly, if there was any to begin with. They did have a microwave available to heat up your food. We also saw there was “2” restaurants, however when we got there, the other restaurant was no where to be seen nor mentioned on the information they give you at the desk. You can get discount at the cafe up the road if you stay at this hotel, but found this was quite expensive. Also, there was a lack of actual “Greek food”, there were no olives available in the basic salad area, and the pre-made Greek salad lacked decent ingredients. We also, had issues with ants being IN the orange juice machine. My friend had orange juice 3 different times that holiday and had ants in the drink every time, so was not a coincidence. The carbonara sauce, was extremely plain. The pool snacks, were very poor. It was always plain cakes, with either ham and egg wraps cut into slices, or the same sandwiches cut into 4 squares, on two silver trays. I would recommend stocking up on snacks from the nearest mini shop which is less than a 5 minute walk. The desserts on the other hand, were very pleasant and we all enjoyed these, would very much recommend the chocolate cakes with ganache! The location, as mentioned, is close to the airport. You can see the track from the pool area. This did make it very noisy for both inbound and outbound of planes, we noticed some days had 8+ planes and the next could be 20+ planes. Would not recommend if you wanted peace and quiet. However, we did find it quite entertaining watching them come and go. The terrace, was not open however it was stated on the website that it was. Again, we assumed this was down to weather, but we were not told otherwise. The hotel was separated into two, so we did cross a busy road to get to the food and the lobby, this wasn’t a huge issue for us but I would not recommend this hotel for families with young children, as they do zoom round those corners! The staff, were very lovely. I wish I had gotten more of their names to mention, but David and Melena (I believe this was her name, she usually ran the pool bar) were absolutely brilliant and always had service with a smile. They were very helpful and always ensured we had a good time. There was no entertainment for the evenings, and the lobby was not large enough for the amount of people staying, there was also a lack of sun beds. But put this

We had a lovely time at the Royal Grand hotel , the staff were friendly and helpful, we loved the lady at the pool side bar (forgotten her name) and David always smiling and wanting to have a conversation. We did book all inclusive for 6 nights however we ate at the restaurant twice as the food wasn’t great and was cold most of the time. Therefore we had no choice but to eat out which became a bit costly however there are lots of affordable restaurants a bus away. The views were outstanding and the local beach was quiet and relaxing. I would recommend the boat tour to Paxous Island if you’re coming to Corfu! You can ask reception and they’ll help book it for you. The rooms nice and the beds were comfortable - I did book a seaside room however we were on the main road , lots of coaches were stopping outside we could literally sea a bit of the sea through the trees so that was a bit misleading. However it didn’t ruin our stay and I would recommend this hotel for a nice affordable trip!
