Delfinia Hotel

This hotel was just what we wanted; quiet (hotel and location), lovely garden, good beach, excellent swimming in the sea (Moraitika is on the sheltered side of the island so you do not have to battle waves), bus stops on the main road near the hotel, very good bus service, a hill just inland which you can walk up (150 m height gain) to a delightful village called Episopiana with a small kafenion, very helpful staff, clean, good food, and a lovely view over the garden towards the sea. Moraitika is not very pleasant (a main road with lots of food outlets, tourist shops, supermarkets and tour agents) but the supermarkets sold all that we needed and with a fridge in our room we were able to stock up on beer, wine and other essentials. All in all we were delighted with our stay.

We stayed here for 3 nights HB. The room was nice with a garden/pool view. The room was clean and comfortable with very quiet aircon, but the bathroom was a little tight with the door banging on the toilet when you opened the door. The food was nice with a varied choice and different mains each evening. There were some reginal dishes available and some more simple options. Breakfast was good with a buffet choice including cereals, continental and cooked options including porridge. As mentioned by other reviewers the drinks in the bar were expensive, we had a local beer at 7.50 euros where as the bar on the main street just outside the hotel was 4euros. It would of been nice to have Tea/Coffee making facilities in the room. The pool area was clean and tidy with the usual early morning dash to reserve a sunbed for the day. There was a kids pool and play area which looked nice. The sea access was great but not much going on around the hotel or the town.

We paid for a Superior Room at an extra cost of £250. We checked with reception that this was the room we were getting, which they confirmed. When the room was ready 822 we were extremely disappointed on entering as the room certainly did not look superior. The furniture is in a bad state. Stains in drawers, blisters on the dressing table area, stain on dressing area chair. Worn fridge door. Television unplugged and hanging out at an angle. Birds nest on the balcony, which meant poo on the balcony floor. The bathroom was cleaned only once. No information in the rooms or reception as to where everything was i.e restaurant (separate building) and beach towels. Astronomical prices in the bars for drinks. There are taverns along the beach that are half the price of the hotels bar. Recommend a trip to Old Town Corfu, using the Travel Shop in the high street. Cost 10 euros return, well worth the trip. Double that using the hotel.
