Saint George Palace Hotel

I would give the hotel 3.5 stars. Our room was very basic, with the bare essentials like a fridge, T.V., hairdryer etc but this was fine. The room was also very clean. However, our shower was poor - the holder for the shower head was rusted, so came away from the wall a couple of times which could be frustrating. Alongside this, the showerhead was also similarly rusted/damaged so all of the water would come out of the side of the head. This isn't something we mentioned to the staff as it was bearable, but is a shame it hadn't been picked up prior to our stay. The bedroom had a lovely balcony overlooking the main pool and the air-conditioning in the room was great. Sheets/towels are changed every 3 days, which from a sustainability perspective is excellent. The food was okay - their was a good selection of foods to choose from, including salads, stuffed vegetables and plenty of meat/fish options also. The food was quite basic but was tasty, although at times was samey and I was ready for a change by the end of the week. It would be good if the foods could be labelled with allergens as my friend is gluten intolerant, although I'm completely understand that this is a small business so this likely isn't possible. I wasn't a huge fan of the ice-cream, and the wines weren't particularly nice, although the cocktails were very good as were the soft drinks options. We enjoyed the location - there is a beach just a short walk away from the hotel. There are plenty of local shops & restaurants by the beach also, a couple of which we tried and enjoyed. There aren't many bus connections available - there is one bus that goes to Corfu town (A7), that you need to pre-book tickets for at Alexandros Bikes which is by the beach and is €4 each way. There is another bus but I can't remember where this goes! There is also a sulphuric smell, particularly sitting in the outside seating area, however I don't think this is something the hotel can control and is likely due to the older plumbing on the island. The staff are also very friendly & willing to help - multiple times we asked the reception staff for help and the woman manning it was really helpful, answering all our questions and helping us navigate the buses & our trip to Aqualand! This made us feel very welcomed and did really come in handy when it came to getting out & about. Overall, I have to say this didn't feel like a 4 star hotel.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! There were nine of us in total—including two little ones (aged 3 and 1)—and we spent two unforgettable weeks at the hotel, making memories we'll cherish forever. We'd love to return. Staff: 5/5 First off, a huge thank you to the incredible staff. I apologise if I’ve got any names wrong! Our housekeeper—Abgengia, I believe—was simply fantastic. She kept our room spotless and was so thoughtful and warm with the kids. My little ones adored her and even drew her a special picture! Demetrius from the food and beverage team made an immediate impression. He went above and beyond every day, especially with my 3-year-old—her face lit up every time he was around. And Nicos? His cocktail skills are top-notch! Always ready to help with a smile and happy to fulfill even the most specific requests. There were 2 ladies in reception who were also very friendly and accommodating! Food: 4.5/5 The food was excellent—fresh, tasty, and varied. We were spoilt from breakfast through to Dinner. The staff made sure everything was well stocked and clean. And those grill nights? Not only did they smell divine, but they added such a vibrant energy to the evenings. Entertainment: 3/5 The resort featured three pools, including access to an adults-only one—so finding sunbeds was never an issue. Entertainment-wise, there were only two themed nights during the week: a Friday duet and the Sunday Greek night. The Greek evening was an absolute highlight—interactive, lively, and full of special moments. We just wish there had been more of that kind of entertainment throughout the week. Hotel: 3.5/5 We stayed in a family room and were initially impressed with the space. However, we did come across a few maintenance issues—like a shower that caused flooding, a loose toilet seat, and a less-than-comfy mattress. Unfortunately, one night my daughter was woken drenched and cold from a drip from the ceiling over her bed. It took nearly 12 hours for us to be moved rooms. We were surprised to see the new room had similar maintenance concerns, but thankfully no leaks. Our extended family in other rooms had similar minor issues, but since we didn’t spend much time indoors, it wasn’t a major problem for us. I would also mention that the furniture in the family rooms weren’t toddler friendly. I.e sharp corners, and slippery floors. Outside of the room, the hotel grounds were gorgeous. The beach and local shops were just a short stroll away, and the overall setting was beautiful! We would definitely recommend!

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY! - our room was basically falling apart ; shower constantly leaking onto a slippery floor, the room wasn’t cleaned properly, hinges broken on all cupboards. - The food was cold, overcooked, some was okay such as the chips and plain pasta. - all inclusive but the bar shuts at 11:00pm? - the drinks machines always needing to be repaired - smell of sewage everywhere you go - the swimming pool is literally falling apart - most of the staff looked miserable - cheap plastic cups for drinks this is not a 4 star hotel at all!

Do not go to this hotel, I have just stayed here with my family for the past week and it has been nothing but a nightmare. The smell off sewage was everywhere due to there being a waist plant behind the rooms. The food was dreadfull. There power supply is cooled using a motor fan out front and the swimming pool was falling apart. There page says there is wifi through out the hotel witch is not true as it isn't in the rooms. My bathroom was caked in mold. The service was ok apart from one off the lady's at the reception was rude. One off our rooms has a broken shower and open drain cover. My nan is a severe lung problems and is in a ventilation unit and she was sleeping in a room that smelt off human waist. There was a fire in the electric unit because black smoke was pouring out but they tried to play it off as if there was no issues. Due to the smell off human waist we all got eaten alive by mosquitos. Myself having 25 bites on my back alone. And the elevator is broken the room is cracked with wires showing. And the toilet in are room is rusted. The hand rails om the stairs rock witch is unsave and my lamp was tapes with maskin tape to hide wires. There was also a fire in the electric station. They man hole covers doe the swedge was also open .the swimming pool floor was also falling apart .Do not stay at this hotel

The hotel is in a good location, situated on a hill with a nice view, and it’s only about a 10-minute walk to the beach. However, there are several downsides that made our stay less enjoyable. One of the biggest issues is the very strong smell of sewage around the hotel, especially near the dining area. This was extremely unpleasant, particularly when eating. Transportation is also quite limited – the only bus connection goes directly to Corfu Town, so getting around without a car is difficult. The rooms are clean, but not very functional. The shower is very small with a curtain that constantly sticks to you, and there is no space to put toiletries. There are also no wardrobes or shelves in the room to store clothes, which makes longer stays inconvenient. The dining room is small and often overcrowded. Breakfasts are repetitive, and desserts were frequently missing. Drinks are served in single-use plastic cups, which is shocking and environmentally unfriendly. There is very poor mobile reception and the Wi-Fi does not reach the rooms, so staying connected is a challenge. On a positive note, the staff are kind and always willing to help.
