Nafsika Hotel - Adults Only

This hotel was just OK. It seemed to be run on a shoestring budget with no Manager out and about on site. Our room was OK, reasonably clean but nowhere near enough electric sockets for modern standards. The fridge didn't work and you had to move the bedside cabinets to plug anything in. Kettle was provided but no socket nearby to plug it in. The breakfasts were fairly good but cold plates let the side down. Good selection of coffee though. The staff on site were mostly good, apart from one of the barmen who spent a lot of time chatting to the receptionist when he should have been out collecting glasses and tidying up. This leads nicely on to the bar service, which was appalling for a four star hotel. The pool bar was shut more times than it was open, only one bar staff member working and an embarrassing shortage of glasses. The hotel seemed to only have around six large beer glasses. I wanted to place an order for five large beers one night and the barman only had two glasses on the shelf as the other four were in use by other drinkers, he didn't even have six small beer glasses to make up the shortfall, and when challenged told me it wasn't his problem! Not good at all. The only exception to this poor bar service was when the tall barman was working, he did the best he could and was very apologetic for the hotels shortcomings. The pool was ok, the brolly's were fixed and couldn't be moved, unfortunately as they were fixed at the outer edge of the poolside you couldn't move your sunbed into the shade. Dassia as a resort seems to be struggling. The huge all inclusive place seems to have had a negative effect on the local businesses although all the Taverna's we ate in were first class. Would we visit again? Almost certainly not to this hotel unless the management improve matters, but yes, Corfu itself is very nice and we look forward to exploring the north west of the island next year

Stayed here for 7 nights at the end of August. We had no complaints this place is away from the main road so nice and quiet. No trouble getting a sun lounger round the pool, which is a bonus. Breakfast was good. The place was clean. To top it off, the staff were great, super friendly, especially the bar staff. If they didn't have a cocktail on the list you wanted. They would go out of their way to look it up on line and make it for you if possible

A hidden gem - from arrival to departure (7 nights) we couldn’t have wanted more! All staff very friendly and welcoming, happy to help and ensure your stay is enjoyable. A lady in reception advised us on the best way to navigate the island with recommended points of interest - she was clearly very proud of her Greek heritage which was lovely to hear. The breakfast was varied and delicious, the pool bar offered great drinks and snacks throughout the day - the club sandwich was excellent! The pool was warm, clean and very inviting, no sunbed wars, and a very quiet and relaxing space surrounded by trees and mountains - what more could you want! The rooms were clean and comfortable - Thankyou Nafsika - we will return

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.

At check-out we were suddenly charged €36 for a broken lamp shade, even though earlier the staff had told us everything was fine and that no extra costs would be added. This kind of surprise fee at the last moment feels dishonest and unfair. On top of that, the rooms were extremely noisy every sound from the corridor and neighboring rooms carried straight in, which made it difficult to rest. Luckily, we were moved to higher floor rooms later. In both our first and second rooms, the shower water didn’t drain at all, flooding the entire bathroom floor, and it was only fixed on the second-to-last day of our stay. I cannot recommend this hotel due to the lack of transparency and poor way of treating guests.
