Saint George Palace Hotel

We stayed at St George Palace in North Corfu and it’s in such a beautiful location, surrounded by lovely views and only about a ten-minute walk from the beach. The hotel itself is really nice with great facilities and three fantastic pools. We especially loved the water slide, it was so much fun. The rooms were okay and kept spotless every day by the amazing cleaners. The only issue was the shower, which tended to flood quite easily, but otherwise everything was clean and comfortable. The main thing that let our stay down was the food. It was often cold and didn’t taste very fresh, and it really needed more flavour and variety and actually the food was very repetitive each day. We ended up eating out a lot instead, which was a bit disappointing for an all-inclusive. A massive shout out to Donny at reception, who was honestly brilliant. He was so friendly and we had such a great time chatting to him.

Worst experience ever. For couple of days we had only cold water when it was already cold outside. It made me sick. Then for whole day the electricity went off. Food is mostly the same the whole week. And quite cold. But the worst - bed bugs. When we told the receptionist the manager said well I don’t see it. Location is okay. It’s a village, not much to do, but honestly I do not recommend this hotel. The conditions are not sanitary.

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.

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!
