Hotel Paleo Inn

This is a 2* hotel, but a fabulous one. If you are paying 2* prices but expecting 5* accommodation/facilities, then you have come to the wrong place, otherwise, get your wallets out and b****r off to your 5* boring luxury! The staff are all fabulous, location is great, good pool, great views and most of the people we’ve met over the years have been great fun in an unpretentious, relaxed environment. So what if you have to pay a couple of Euros to add additional items to your basic breakfast, does it matter? It is less than a couple of quid sterling for God’s sake! The food served, be that breakfast or the snacks are lovely, all freshly prepared and well-priced. Listen to what you are being told when you arrive. Due to COVID restrictions, you do not get a daily room clean unless you ask for it. If you want new towels, your bin changing, your balcony sweeping, new bedsheets etc then ask the cleaners, they are still there every day except Sunday, they won’t bite! To be honest, we really enjoyed being able to get up at our leisure without the cleaners knocking on the door at 8 am. This has to be the way forward! Yes, there is a steep hill up to the bar area, then more of a hill/steps up to the rooms which could be problematic for someone with mobility problems. If you don’t have such problems then it’s a short, sharp shock which you soon get used to. Anthimos, Helen and Marianna are both wonderful, speak excellent English and nothing is too much trouble. The limited staff work very hard to give you a good holiday, you don’t need the assistance of a holiday rep. That’s it in a nutshell. This place is not for you if you want 5* luxury, but if you are happy to ‘go with the flow’ and just accept it for what it is, then you’ll have a great time at Paleo Inn.

The good: 30 Location is great, 15 mins walk from the beach, bus stop right outside which will take you into Corfu town. The staff are lovely and are always willing to help! I’d describe this place as a cheap b&b, if you don’t want to end up paying too much for accommodation. The bad: 70 Beds will break your back, I have come home with severe back pain. You can feel the springs inside the mattresses only god knows how old they are! Worst 7 nights sleep I’ve ever had. The bathroom is horrendous, the shower has a tiny tray and a shower curtain which sticks to you as you shower, all the water ends up on the floor which then goes down a VERY SMELLY DRAIN. As soon as you open the sink tap you can instantly smell the drain and believe me it isn’t something you’d want to smell! If you want AC it’s charged per night, there’s two irons and hair dryers for everyone at the whole hotel which need to be requested for use. All in all I wouldn’t stay here again, lesson learnt - don’t book cheap accommodations!
