Hotel Pyrros — Hotel in Municipality of Central Corfu and Diapontia Islands

Location||||Hotel is only a short 5 /10 minute drive north of Corfu old town (the airport is some 4 kms south of Corfu) It is positioned a very short distance from the main road giving connections to most of the island - all areas of sightseeing are easily covered by car ||||Facilities ||||Hotel is 2 star and is basic but clean The downstairs comprises of a combined reception / small bar / lounge and eating area (the latter is where breakfast is taken) Outside is a good size patio (can be covered) for drinking and eating car parking is free of charge on adjacent land There is no lift to the three floors - there are approx 25 to 30 rooms We booked room 21 front of hotel with nice distant views to the modern marina and mountains Beds are firm and shower/toilet etc again basic but clean. Beds made up daily No safe deposit box in room Small tv and adequate wardrobe for clothes ||||We paid under 35 pounds per night including breakfast and taxes - this was for mid April There is no hot option for breakfast which consisted of bread / cheese and ham / cake / juice and coffee. Some people may find it repetitive but suited our needs - we only wanted somewhere to use as a base for touring the island The family running the hotel could not have been more helpful and friendly always eager to please ||||Corfu sightseeing - being a small island it is easy to cover the whole of Corfu by car over a few days We particularly liked Corfu old town nice historical areas / museums and lovely views to the sea along the promenade Very pleasant atmosphere with a mixture of tourist and designer shops Parking was relatively easy at this time of year - April is still winter in Corfu so not sure how is easy parking would be in the summer ||||The eastern coastline north of Corfu is pretty but personally did not like the northern area around Sidari to Roda an area spoilt by British tourist influence The North West area is well worth visiting particularly Paleokastritsa and nearby Monastery The Southern part of the island is less appealing from what we saw and unless you want to experience an 18-30 club avoid Kavos! ||||Most of the facilities all over the island were closed - the main tourist season does not start until May but suited us being very quiet Driving very easy but the roads are full of potholes so beware!!||||Corfu appears to be suffering from the recession In a lot of areas it gives the appearance of being run down but in rustic way There are many uncompleted buildings but does not detract from the overall impression of Corfu which is well worth visiting The people were...

Friendly & clean in need of a major renovation. I can’t really blame the owner, what can you do 1st with just a few euros per night…this poor country has gone through an economic disaster for 10+ years and now Covid for 2+ years. I feel sorry for the people of Greece and this owner is trying to survive God Bless you!

We are a Greek-American 🇺🇸 & Russian-American family with much higher standards, but I feel the pain here, an older owner setting at the reception at 11 pm to serve the few Winter guest freezing and with escalating power and goods prices raising by the hour

Corfu is one of our favorite island in the world 🌎 love the country and it’s people. Happy to be here 🧿💙🙏🏻

Small follow up...We had to leave early since everyone smoked in the building including...

My sister and I stayed at this hotel for 14 nights. The room was simply furnished but had a balcony to sit out on. Although we encountered some issues with plumbing they were dealt with as soon as possible and we were offered alternative bedrooms. The breakfast was good and all the public areas spotlessly clean and spacious. We loved the front terrace of the hotel with its garden. Our stay was under the most unfortunate circumstances after my husband was taken seriously ill on holiday and was admitted to the General Hospital, Corfu Town. This hotel is four minutes walk from the hospital entrance. We really valued the friendliness and constant care we were offered at the hotel, by Antonio, Dena and the lady who cleaned our room. It was...
