Annaliza Apartments

Back home on my island of Corfu staying at Annaliza in Ipsos for 3 weeks of Sheer Bliss. With the great staff; Mano, Mel, Andreas, Tina, Yorgos (George), Stamatis, Ari, Demitri and little Elia. This place has all your needs for a relaxing holiday; Drinks, Meals, Snacks and a wonderful Pool to cool off in the hot summer sun. Then within a 8 minute walk you have the Sea, Restaurants, Bars, Supermarket and Shops. Don’t hold back, book today for your next holiday...

I booked the this hotel for a week and was concerned when reading some negative reviews, but we found the place welcoming, friendly, spotless. Big 1 bed apartments with everything you need. I don't know how many sockets some petty minded people expect but two in each room is more than adequate especially with double adapter or extension, which we always take. The pool is lovely and diligently cleaned each night, even having an underwater robot cleaner. The staff and management are friendly and it is a perfect location for the beach and to be first on bus with guaranteed seat to Corfu Town.

I have been to Corfu many times, staying everywhere from Sadari to Kavos, and if there is something I learnt, it's what you make it. The hotel is a 3 star, so don't expect the world. The location is on the far side of Ipsos, so expect to walk, the bus no 7 to Dassia and Corfu town is only a 6 minutes walk away and there and some great restraints near buy. Be careful of bars promising you cheap drinks, you buy what you get, cheap drinks. The hotel has a great pool, the rooms are clean and spacious. They don't get cleaned every day, but do get the bins emptied. The staff are a refection on you, be curious and humble and they will do everything to make your stay a pleasure. Be rude or arsy and they will be distant and unaccomidating. There is an amazing butcher at the end of the road and a cheap supermarket on the strip, 15 min walk. I came here on my own, and loved every minute. Coming back in a few months.

When looking to go away we tend to opt for smaller apartments,more traditional or family run accommodations over the modern hotels or bigger chains, so we always expect abit of "Character" however on this occasion we was left abit underwhelmed. We are happy with Basic But expect Clean. Starting with the good point: - Location is perfectly situated for access to the main strip without being right on top, a short 5min walk if that to start of it. - Staff where all really friendly that we interacted with - some even went out their way to have a conversation with us, very knowledgeable of the area and Island aswell. - Pool area is really nice, pool itself is fresh water and really refreshing, plenty of sunbeds avaliable (negatives come later). - Food we had on site was nice no complaints. - 24 hour reception - come and goes as please don't need worry about getting locked out or anything. Please note that someone isn't always at reception but staff in bar area. - Large balcony with furniture. - Good size rooms - Daily bin change (not on Sunday) - Fresh towels Daily. (Again not on Sundays) - Good Size Fridge in Kitchen, Kettle and small cooker thing (didn't use) Washing liquid and sponge provided. - Shower was good had no issue with water pressure or anything- this is something we have had issues with previously when stayed in Greece, please note advert picture show what appears tobe a bath but it's not a bath more of a very deep shower tray. You could probably use it as small bath for kids - if it had a drain plug. Now onto the not so good points - Our apartment was at the top of the staircase - couldn't be noiser if tried - could hear everyone coming and going and the bar downstairs, We considered asking to move room but stuck with the devil we knew and the fact we had already unpacked and settled in. - Rooms are dated and run down - need some filler and a lick of paint at the very least - and a deep clean. - Shutters broken and warped. - Rooms felt cold and dark, small details where not considered - mirror in bedroom and bathroom were dirty aswell as marks on doors and light switches on arrival and stayed that way whole holiday as no one came and cleaned. - Beds so uncomfortable (for us anyway) - Really firm pillows (great if that's what you like) - Lounge is not a lounge its a second bedroom really, the sofas are just beds with different shape pillows - open to the kitchen,even though has separate door. (We never used this room other than to store our suitcase and dirty washing) - this is not a negative more of an observation. - TV not worth having pointless advertising saying even has TV - 2 channels - one news and one radio. - Faulty plug sockets and lack of them within the apartment. We was lucky that we packed a dual plug to give us more power points. - Rooms where not swept or cleaned over - no broom in room todo yourself. - Bed were not changed during the week or given fresh sheets(blanket). ( this was something we overlooked and didn't

Rudest staff I have ever met Disrespectful Rooms are shocking Single beds no doubles Faulty dangerous plug sockets Bath the size for a 5 year old Smells Food disgusting got food poisoning Old tvs with one channel Old tashioned doors to balcony that bang everytime you open and close Air con not free rip off 7euros a day for old air con units Filthy kitchen area and utensils Mosquito heaven Dumbwaiter lifts in rooms two in each apartment very unsafe and not locked Overall worst hotel I have ever stayed in in my whole life. Do not book. This hotel seriously gives love holidays a bad name

Had a fantastic week here at Annaliza I was in the apartment over the road— Spiros rooms my stay was perfect I was in Corfu to see my old friends from 38 years ago staff the best ever I am a bit biased and had many laughs with staff and others I meet staying their regards Mike (Μιχαήλ) as speak Greek
