Hotel berhampiran Toys waterpark, Kerkyra

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.

We booked this hotel with Jet 2, first time travelling with them, for 10 night half board.. We had read the reviews and seen photos and decided to book as prime location as we were hiring a car from the airport. We arrived 12:30am due to flight delay, main door was either locked, not working or very slow, had to negotiate luggage through the manual revolving door. Check in was swift, no offer of refreshments, no door man or night porter. Rom was spacious, plenty of hangers, shelving but no drawers for smaller items. We had two single beds pushed together, personally found the mattress too hard with the pillows running a close second. No tea /coffee making facilities. Bathroom in dire need of refit, significant limescale and rust on tiles and around fixtures, stained . broken, cracked grouting and bath seal. However, both the room and bathroom were clean. Pool area well maintained, plenty of comfortable loungers and a very vigilant life guard. Restaurant buffet breakfast, usual offerings, continental , cereals and cooked, hot drinks made to order, staff efficient and polite. We never ate any evening meals so can not comment. On our 6th night, we were woken by unbearable heat in the room, the air con stopped working, we then realised that we had a power cut, the power was back on within 30 minutes of my husband going to reception. Not a disaster but an inconvenience as we were relying on our phones for sat nav as the one in our hire car did not work and we had to wait for our phones to charge, wifi is slow. Our last night we were woken again by the sound of running water, there was a steady stream of water coming out of the spot light in the bathroom. Fully appreciate that there's no maintenance at 3.30 am , we were given extra towels to catch the water. We decided for safety's sake not to switch the lights on in the morning. Overall impression, a tired and very dated hotel that needs an upgrade. On a positive note, the views are stunning, especially sunrise and the location is spot on.

L’hotel non centrale rispetto a Corfù Town ma ci si arriva in 20 minuti di passeggiata. l’hotel non ha una propria spiaggi a ma proprio difronte l’hotel c’è una discesa a mare dove poter fare il bagno ma non si tratta di una spiaggia vera e propria. A 3 minuti a piedi invece c’è la spiaggia di mon repose (2 lettini e 1 ombrellone 28 euro) è una spiaggia tranquilla attrezzata con bagno docce e bar. L’hotel ha spazi comuni molto belli ma le stanze sono minuscole e mal tenute, abbiamo prenotato per 10 giorni e la stanza era talmente piccola che non avevamo spazio per le valigie, ho chiesto per una stanza più grande ma mi hanno risposto che erano tutte uguali, ho fatto presente che erano completamente differenti dalle stanze pubblicizzate sul sito e mi hanno risposto che quelle erano foto vecchie. La pulizia inesistente, in 10 giorni non hanno mai spazzato a terra o lavato a terra nella stanza, spesso anche il bagno era sporco dopo la pulizia giornaliera. Dimenticavano spesso di lasciarci shampoo e bagnoschiuma è l’ultimo giorno anche le asciugamani quindi dovevo chiamare e chiedere di portarmi quello che mancava.insomma uno stress continuo. Le tende e il copriletto erano sporchi e macchiati. Anche l’igiene era molto carente, nella sala colazione volavano piccioni sul buffet e quando ho fatto presente che era un problema igienico mi è stato risposto che era un problema che stavano cercando di risolvere ma non erano ancora riusciti a risolvere, per scusarsi quel giorno ci hanno omaggiato dei cappuccini che avevamo ordinato per colazione è una bottiglia di vino in stanza ( i cappuccini e il caffè espresso sono considerati extra e costano 3.80 euro…al giorno…) Viste le mie lamentele per servizi scadenti, pulizia inesistente e igiene inesistente ci hanno offerto 15 minuti di massaggio ai piedi presso la spa dell hotel, peccato che ci hanno offerto questo regalo salato sera e lunedì dovevamo ripartire e per domenica non c’erano posti…una presa per i fondelli insomma! All’arrivo non ci hanno offerto lo champagne di benvenuto come hanno fatto invece con altri ospiti. Fortunatamente io parlo inglese perché nessuno parla italiano (solo un ragazzo parla italiano e di solito fa il turno di notte ed è davvero molto gentile e disponibile). L’hotel non dispone di un parcheggio privato ma è abbastanza facile parcheggiare nelle immediate vicinanze. Nel complesso l’hotel è bello ed in ottima posizione ed ha tutte le carte in regola per essere davvero un 4 stelle ma dovrebbero essere più rispettosi e attenti al cliente e migliorare igiene e pulizia

We've just returned from our week holiday at this wonderful hotel. It's in an ideal location with fabulous views & in walking distance to main centre & beach. The staff were all amazing ...very friendly and helpful. We were given a free room upgrade on arrival which was a nice surprise....had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The included breakfast was really nice with a good selection of hot & cold food. Food was available to purchase for lunch which was delicious & reasonable priced. We would definitely recommend this lovely hotel. Enjoy !

Το διαχρονικό αυτό ξενοδοχείο της Κέρκυρας (μη συγχέεται με το Corfu Palace) βρίσκεται έναντι αεροδρομίου με όμορφη θέα προς εκείνο και τη λιμνοθάλασσα από τη μια και προς τον κήπο από την πίσω μεριά. Είναι ιδανικό για παρέες/ οικογένειες ως τρία άτομα σε ένα δωμάτιο. Τα δωματια είναι σχετικά ευρύχωρα, κατακάθαρα, χωρίς όμως αναγκαία ηχομόνωση. Ο εξοπλισμός σε τηλεόραση, πρίζες είναι ξεπερασμένος. Το μπάνιο είναι καλό με ακαλαίσθητης πόρτες (χωρίς ηχομόνωση επίσης). Λείπει μαλακτικό μαλλιών αν και το νερό της Κέρκυρας θεωρείται σκληρό. Το πρωινό είναι καλό και ο υπεύθυνος στην είσοδο τυπικός Έλληνας του τουρισμού, φιλόξενος και φιλότιμος (παλαιός κοπής).Ωραίος εξωτερικός χώρος και κήπος σε συνέχεια με τον χώρο πρωινού. Ο κήπος γενικότερα θα μπορούσε να είναι και πιο φροντισμένος και η παιδική χαρά πιο γενναιόδωρη για παιδιά (αλλά είναι αμφίβολο αν αυτή είναι η σκοπιμότητα του ξενοδοχείου). Η πισίνα, καθαρή με όμορφο αν και στενάχωρο περιβάλλοντα χώρο.Διαθέτει ναυαγοσώστη! Το μπαρ θυμίζει λίγο πλοίο στη γραμμή Ελλάδα-Ιταλία και θα μπορούσε να είναι πιο ευχάριστο και πολυτελές. Κρύος καφές αδιάφορος. Δεν δοκιμάσαμε το εστιατόριο, αλλά πλησίον του ξενοδοχείου δεν υπάρχει εστιατόριο ούτε για δείγμα. Η εσωτερική σάλα είναι λιτή και καθαρή. Ο χωρίς στάθμευσης επίσης οριακά επαρκής για το μέγεθος επισκεψιμότητας του ξενοδοχείου. Η ρεσεψιόν μάλλον χλιαρή και απρόσωπη. Η σχέση τιμής/ποιότητας είναι υποφερτή. Αλλά σίγουρα το ξενοδοχείο θέλει σύντομα αναβάθμιση για να ανταποκρίνεται στην τιμή του.

I really enjoyed our stay at this lovely hotel! It has a very nice pool that my kid enjoyed with kind staff and very good food options even for picky eaters 😊 The view is to die for and me and my husband had amazing cocktails at the bar prepared with love by Dimitris & Mihalis ❤️

Alles war perfekt Wir hatten das günstigste Zimmer und wir hatten einen Blick auf den Haupteingang des Hotels. Das Frühstück ist ausgezeichnet Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr gut! meine negativen Kommentare; Unten im Hotel riecht es sehr übel, es riecht nach Abwasser. 40€ Transfergebühr, obwohl es sehr nahe am Flughafen liegt Die Reinigung war an dem Tag, an dem wir dort waren, super! Aber, Ein junger Mann hat unser Zimmer gereinigt. und die Shampoos vergessen und der Geruch von Schweiß war drinnen! und Kaffee kommt nie wieder ins Zimmer

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.
