Nafsika Hotel - Adults Only

Having read some of the previous reviews my partner and I were slightly nervous about our stay here, especially as we were a late night arrival, we needn't have worried. Our transfer was to the door of the hotel we were not dumped on the main road as previous reviews have mentioned, so this must depend on the tour operator. We were met with a friendly and warm welcome by the reception staff, who were fantastic throughout the stay,offering us advice on how to get to Corfu town and what to do. Off we went to our room, which was an adequate size and had the air conditioning on, which was excellent and quiet compared to some hotels I have previously visited. The room was quite basic but clean and tidy, the beds are quite hard, which we like so it wasn't an issue for me or my partner. The bathroom was a good size, I found it odd that there were 2 drains in the floor for showers, I assume they left the original one there when they refurbished the room and added a new one in the new shower area. Flooding mentioned previously can be prevented by using the "eco" setting on the shower which is still plenty powerful. (Pull the lever one click rather than all the way). There were a few rough edges in the bathroom, the newish tiles had not been sealed around the ceiling or door frame but other than that it was pleasant. The pool area was clean and well kept in the main, there are a few cracked tiles but I can't recall ever going somewhere where there wasn't at least one. Sunbeds were plentiful, although there were different styles, possibly where they are only replacing broken ones as they break, no issue with that really and it's good for the environment. There was a pool bar which was generally open from lunchtime, I noticed that if the pool.bar was open then the inside one was closed and vice versa, but not really an issue as either was convenient. Breakfast was nice with a good variety, although the juices were not great and were more like squash. Staff again were excellent and were very efficient at cleaning up dirty plates and tables. Overall for the cost this is a very good hotel, if you want luxury and decadence then maybe the hotel across the road is for you... At 4 times the price. There is a busy road to cross but with the good old green cross code and a bit of patience occasionally it was never an issue and couldn't be heard from the hotel, even outside. Dassia beach is narrow but very beautiful, especially at night with restaurants along the front, but unless you want to pay for sunbeds this may not be the beach for you. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

The staff here and very friendly and approachable. Very helpful. Rooms are clean but most things definitely need updating. They are mostly quiet but you can hear noise from other rooms sometimes. Good soundproofing from outside noises though. Grounds are kept clean though. Breakfast is what to be expected. I didn't very much like the area the hotel was in and wouldn't stay here again because of that, but that's not the hotel's fault. I found Dassia to be dirty, noisy with vehicles and dangerous due to the unruly road. Crossing the road is dicing with death. Barely any rubbish bins and lots of rubbish strewn everywhere and also cigarette butts. Also, if you plan to visit the beach please be mindful you probably won't get a sunbed. If you do, you will pay for it. The beach is dirty, lots of trash and the most cigarette butts I've ever seen in one place. Paleokastrista beach is also jam packed with people and not much cleaner either so save your money and stick by the pool in the hotel.
