The Royal Grand

Another magical stay at this amazing hotel complex: superb staff, superb room, delicious breakfast at the hotel and amazing food at their adjacent restaurant near the airport viewing site. I don’t think that I have ever been to a more idyllic site than the Royal Grand restaurant looking at the amazing view out to sea and across Corfu. The Royal Grand is amazing value for money, we have been here 7 times and will continue to stay here every year!

Lovely hotel - helpful 24 hour reception - comfortable clean room with balcony and gaod view of the runway. Daily maid service. The planes can be loud but the soundproofing cuts out a lot of it. Kettle, fridge and hairdryer in room. Pool was clean and fresh with a lifeguard on duty until 6PM. Pool bar wasn't open when I was there and neither was the inside bar but the hotel has a terrace bar 50 metres up the road where you can have a drink amd look at the fabulous view ( and planes ). The only thing that I really didn't like was that all the toilet / bathroom doors - both in the room and in public areas - were of frosted glass with no locks on them. That's a real big No No for me. Also the corridors were painted a dingy blue which was quite dull. As a solo traveller I felt very safe here. Not much to do locally - Captain Georges taverna is next door with good food but the 2A bus into Corfu town stops right outside every 20 minutes and 2 Euros gets you into the town in 20 minutes and back again in 10. Small mini mart 100 metres away with all the essentials,

We read a few of these reveiws after booking here but sorry thing we ever done was not realey taking much notice, as all people differ. But please read this.on arrival here we noticed it was very dark inside the railings up to the front were lose and not secure. we were allocated a room on floor 2 we couldnt actually see to open the door as the strip light above was missing.we did report it but it was never replaced so needed a torch at night. What we did notice was the door looked as though it had been broken into at some point as all the wood was chipped away by the lock, the general appearance of the hotel looked neglected dirty paintwork skirting and flooring , there was a strange smell in the lift as though something was leaking after unpacking we had to get water as nothing was left in the room.the girl on the reception asked if we could leave our key at reception the following day for the room to be cleaned which we thought was strange she said cleaning staff didnt have access. But when we arrived back after the day out the following day we found clean towels on the bed so someone had been in the room. When getting ready later on to go out i noticed 2 new polo tops were missing from the wardrobe i placed 4 on top of each other the night before after a proper search realised they were stolen. We immediatly reported it to reception, but there reaction was none of our staff would do that what was more of a concern was there attitude. It immediatly put us into panic mode checking other things i told reception on no terms anyone in our room throghout our stay. Valuables on us at all time. The room itself was filthy thick dust under the bed stained sheets and towels not fit for purpose you would probably get a better breakfast in jail. The indoor bar didnt exist so had to use skybar or the grand cafe again even in here furniture looked tattered and neglected food was passable but expensive for what it was would never return here if given for free

This hotel is absolutely filthy. See pictures attached, the hotel was so disgusting I am so upset that I spent my hard earned money on this for my husbands birthday present. The cleaners do not know how to clean, the hotel shouldn’t be open until it has a renovation. The sunbed cushions were disgusting. The shower drains knock you sick with the smell every time you shower. The elevator as your using it you can hear water running down like a waterfall. Very concerning.

ATTENTION ALL PEOPLE GOING TO THIS HOTEL READ THIS: I am a student in Greece that visited this horrid hotel along with my school. The "hotel" is separated into 2 buildings the one building is the one you see in the misleading pictures while the other is absolute crap, trully horrible. If you scroll through the reviews there is a weird discrepancy between 4 star and other 2 and 1 star reviews. That is because anybody staying in the main building gets a (somewhat) passable experience while anybody in the other one gets a horrible experience. During our 4 day stay this is what happened: ROOM Problems: the AC remote didn't have batteries, the TV remote batteries were held in with tape, the TV was mounted poorly and was falling of the wall. The secondary building in general had no central heating, horrible wifi, close to a nosiy runway, unwashed blankets with food stains and god knows what else. Our toilet broke and wouldn't flush, one of the rfid hotel key cards never worked and the hotel phone was just in a drawer because there was nowhere to plug it in. Once we found batteries for the AC it broke after 2 minutes of use. We went to the receptionist to tell then to send someone to fix the appliances and they did. But after that the toilet broke again and the AC started excreting a horrible chemical like smell, me and my classmates weren't feeling safe leaving that death trap on so we slept in an unheated cold room. There was no security in the second building, no cameras no nothing so anybody could get in and out without being noticed and cause trouble which happened to us. Some local girls came in to the building and started harrassing us and knocking on random doors and making noise. Lastly the worse problem was half the time there was no HOT WATER and the shower was so horribly designed that when you used it it always spilled water all over the floor, that and the ventilation didn't do anyting to help with the humidity in there. Food problems: It was not good, the options for the dinner and breakfast buffet were very bland and tasteless. Honestly the only things that were roughly edible and drinkable was the bread, the French fries and the apple juice. The salad had a texture like plastic and the peas looked like 3 days old. All in all, the experience was not good and the problems with the appliances was something many people (even the teachers) experienced. Please don't give your money to this hotel it is not worth it. It is really far away from the city and a pain to get to. Just find somewhere else to stay. Even if you end up in the better building there is no guarantee that you will not encounter the same problems me and my school faced... My biggest regret other than coming here is not taking more pictures to document this mess of a hotel.

this is a bed and breakfast at best and the breakfast offering is poor. Still being advertised as a hotel but no restaurant no bar and no pool bar. stayed here in very small room but staff were lovely so wont criticise them. Need to update web info because if I had known what was not available I wouldn't have booked .
