Find the Cheap Mparmpati Hotels

(29/05/24 – 08/06/24) *ROOM* We were allocated Room 320, which was basic but spacious and spotless. Kitted out with a double bed + single bed, fridge, kettle. WI-FI is secure but with a poor signal, best reliable signal is around the bar area. Large flat screen TV with a million German channels (though not a problem as we didn’t travel to watch TV) Air con was included 24/7. Balcony had a table + 3x chairs. *STAFF* All the staff are excellent, hard working. Nothing is too much trouble, they will do anything possible to make you comfortable and enjoy your stay. *HOTEL GENERAL* We arrived in the late evening, reception is 24x7 and was asked for room tax payment - (be aware you’ll need 3 euros / day tax to pay immediately on arrival, ask for a receipt) Maid service was provided every day except Sunday Large pool with plenty of loungers, there was a relaxed and friendly atmosphere around the pool area. We lost all water to our shower room on one of the mornings, which affected all rooms in our block until mid the afternoon, but this was reported and rectified quickly enough. *DINING* is the star of the show Breakfast, lunch, snacks, dinner - the menu was varied and excellent, buffet style delicious. *ENTERTAINMENT* singers, the same band twice (not great) and a Greek dance performance act, which was very good. *GENERAL* Not much to do or visit in the area, a small stoney beach across the road and a larger stoney beach with bar and water sports further along the street. There’s a very well stocked supermarkets located nearby. The bus service (air conditioned coaches) is excellent and reliable. 2.4 euros to Corfu town, 2 euros to Kassiopi. Pantokrator seems more popular with German travellers The hotel is built on a mountain, the walk to reception is extremely steep, lots of steps to the upper apartments. Not great if you’re elderly or have mobility issues.

I have to firstly say the staff were very amenable especially Christina on reception, breakfast was more than adequate i had to pay because we were room only but at 15 euros for both of us it was good value.The downside for us was the fact that the hotel is a bit out of the way, if you are not a good walker its not for you as its a steep climb up to the rooms. Pool was excellent, bar a bit pricey. The local beach not very good shingle and small / crowded.Another gripe of mine !! there is a courtesy bus ??? at a cost of 45 euros to go down the coast.Enjoyed the break but would not go back

We returned to Corfu in August and were quite limited as to where we could stay in Ipsos as most properties were sold out or to expensive. We found this property on *********** but eventually booked it direct and paid just over £600 for 1 week’s B and B which is good for that time of year. We know Ipsos well and have seen this property before but this is the first time we have used it and were so glad we did. The property is situated up the hill from Pyrgi and then left by the small shop it takes about 10 minutes to walk from Al’s restaurant to the hotel. The only thing I would say is that the property may not be suitable for people with reduced mobility as it’s set over different levels with steps to the rooms and pool. The number 7 blue bus starts at the end of the road and runs through Dassia and Gouvia to Corfu town every 20 minutes. We used this to get to the airport for about 10 Euro’s changing at San Rocco then onto the airport. All the staff were friendly and helpful and the view from the balcony was amazing over Ipsos bay. The room was comfortable and clean and the safe and A/C were included in the price. The breakfast was a bit limited but perfectly okay for your day ahead. I can recommend this hotel highly and we would return when in Ipsos again.

I didn’t expect much from the 2* hotel with bad reviews, but the hotel promised two of my requirements- a beautiful sea view and an adult-only hotel. Unfortunately, it failed in both. The sea view is not as advertised- maybe on the second floor, but on the first floor, all you can see from the balcony is the top of the restaurant roof. I could live with that, but once we went to the swimming pool on the third day of our stay, a family showed up with their maybe 6-7-year-old daughter, jumping and shouting all the time/ the mom was even louder than the girl/. The hotel didn't have water twice for a couple of hours so we took a shower at the beach, and once there was kind of an electricity outage so the air-conditioning and refrigerator didn't work in the afternoon and evening. The double bed was not a double bed, it was about 120 or 130cm wide, and such trouble for two grown-ups to sleep on. The mattress was with springs and was super bouncy, not comfortable at all. There are no hangers for shower towels and no place to dry beach towels on the balcony. The shower curtain is a nightmare, sticking on your back all the time during showering. Only once during breakfast, I ordered two 0.2 bottles of Prosecco in the hotel bar, and the price was 20e, and in all bars around the hotel, it is half-price. The hotel is very dated but very clean. What makes it special are the people working there. Every single one was super polite. The two young ladies working on the reception desk were so helpful. The room was well-cleaned every day and we got clean towels each time! The restaurant is renovated, breakfast was more than OK- repetitive, but you cannot expect more than they offer. The dinner didn't offer many vegetarian options, so we had salads and some potatoes a couple of times, and the rest of the nights, we had dinner in some of the local and the old town restaurants. Anyway, whatever we had was so tasty! The location is great. The air-conditioning is old but worked well, and a huge plus is that an outdoor unit is not on the balcony, so there is no noise. I was surprised by the room isolation- no sounds from the rooms around, we only heard some laughing a couple of times when someone passed by late at night by the room door. Altogether, the hotel is more than worth the money you for it. If the balcony was better and if there were no children, I would score it with four or five stars!
