    The hostel has very little decor so it kind of feels very white and sterile? Almost hospital-like or dentist office? They could make more of an effort to make it cozier. My dorm only had a very small window above a door so even with 8 clean girls, the room got very muggy and stinky. Every night I had to go ask the front desk to at least turn on the circulation function on the AC unit. Zero airflow otherwise. There's also some security issues in my opinion. I never needed my key. Door to the outside seemed to always be open or at least until very late and the door to my dorm could just be opened if no one had actively locked it. Seems like it would not be difficult for someone who's not a guest to get in. This is clearly a relatively recently built hostel, but you can tell their choice in materials was not weighed up well enough against the intensity the facilities would be used. First night no hot water, rest of the time either boiling or cold. Had to go ask for more toilet paper multiple times so I'm not sure how often the cleaners came. Never saw any cleaners during my stay, but the room didn't seem to get dirtier so they must've come at least a few times. I also heard some of the men had bedbugs in their dorm...

    It was a super social hostel, so met some really interesting people. The dorm (dorm C for women) was really spacious and had 2 toilets and 2 showers. Beds were comfortable enough but I would've liked a little curtain. Everyone has a locker to store your stuff in. You get bedding/towel and bottle of water on arrival. The location is a little weird and I understand why some reviewers found it slightly creepy to get to the hostel. The location is a bit bizarre, but it was quiet and great bus connections to the center of Corfu Town as well as the rest of the island. Price/quality wise this was pretty good in my opinion. This hostel was WAY cleaner than Ami's House in the centre of town. I'd go here again, no problem!

    There’s an emergency light literally on the wall by the bed which doesn’t turn off. You have to sleep with a light on, basically. Besides that, the mattress was pretty uncomfortable.

    The private room was big

    Very good hostel for a holiday in Corfu
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Bed in 6 men dorm
    • Stayed 8 nights

    Lots of guests, so the kitchen is often a bit dirty. There aren't enough plates and cups available. Location: to the city either by city bus no. 4 and 7 (from the city, only no. 7) or on foot - 4 km to the Corfu town's center. The nearby beach is not suitable for swimming or sunbathing, so you should go somewhere else (obviously, it's not the hostel's fault).

    This is my second time staying here, so I knew where I was going. On the plus side, the hostel has gender-separated dorms with their own bathrooms and toilets (there are shampoos and soap left by previous guests in the showers). A shared kitchen with a corner with stuff and food left by other travelers for the hostel guests. In an air-conditioned dorm, there is a large locker for your stuff with a gift (a 0.5-liter bottle of water), a reading lamp, and a socket right next to the bed. You got two towels. 24/7 reception, so no problem with late check-in or early check-out. Possibility to print board passes for free. In the kitchen (it's really large), there are two fridges (the hostel has stickers that we use to mark our food and drinks with our name and check-out date), a kettle, a microwave, and a drip coffee maker. Just nearby (5 min walk), on the opposite side of the street, there is the Sunset Hotel Corfu, where you can go for breakfast (from 07:30; €10/person). There is a Lidl and a Masoutis supermarket nearby. Those who want to go to Paleokastritsa do not have to go to Corfu Town, as the route passes right by the hostel.

    For 8 women staying in the same dorm, the bathroom needed cleaning more than one time per day, at the end of the day, it was NASTY! Also, there this is a weird smell of sewers insinde the dorm that needs to be taking care of. Since it's located few meters from a highway, it can be a bit intimidating by night.

    I was staying in a 8 beds women dorms, it was quite spacious, with a couch and private bathroom. As for the location, it's far from old town, but it's 2 mins from bus station that takes you to old town in 15 mins and it's also located 2 mins from green bus station wich takes you 20 mins to get to paleokastritsa. The hostel is a 5 mins walk from a super market (LIDL). staff was helpfull regarding any questions or directions. In general, a cheap option to experience corfu.

    It's not in Corfu town as it might looks. It's at 15 minutes BY BUS; and the bus passes each 20/30 minutes, or whenever it wants. So if you are not travelling with Motorbike or Car; I would avoid it.

    The place looks new, is very spacious, the share female room is very big and you have a pretty big locker to have all your belongings. Besides there is a place to leave your towels and also outside to put your washes clothes. The toilet is also big, although i missed some bench or place to put the towels, the clothes and even the skin care stuff (there was very little place available). Georgia is great! She was super helpful, with indications of coffee place, excursions, etc.
