Annaliza Aparthotel

We stayed at the Annaliza apartments for a wedding renewal. Our family all stayed here too. Our initial impression was late at night and we were greeted by a stern gentleman who took our city tax and air conditioning charge (€7 per day). Our room seemed basic but we were very tired and went to sleep. On waking I realised that only one room had air conditioning. This meant I had to share the same room as my 17 year old son. I realised on waking our kettle didn’t work. I went to reception to report this and was handed another. This didn’t work either. Thankfully a third did!! There was no tea, coffee facilities or milk. There was a fridge of decent size. The crockery was sparse for a self catering basis. On our third day the water went off and returned as sludge until it ran clear later. Our kitchen tap popped off and had to be screwed back on. As with ALL OF GREECE the toilet tissue MUST be put in a bin. I was surprised most travellers to Corfu were not aware of this. Sadly, the bins were not emptied a lot. I would recommend taking dog bags to out the tissue in to avoid the smells. Our bed wasn’t changed the whole of our break. The towels were not washed. I found this offensive. I had a day at the beach but even after showering before bed I found the sheets grainy. This persisted as they were not changed. As you can see in the pictures: squashed mosquitos on the walls not cleaned, long hairs all over the bathroom, thick dust on the hairdryer. Overall, very dirty! The bed and breakfast option (breakfast included) was subject to a limited menu and not a buffet style. This was tasty and satisfying. The pool was exceptionally clean but no inflatables and splashing allowed. There were a few loungers that we used for sunbathing each day. The bar is extensive and food was served all day. This was reasonably priced. Card is available for payments. The locations is great and only a 5 minute walk to the main strip. The road is a little frightening as the cars do get close to you as there is no real path. The beach is shingle but very pretty with an inflatable attraction which is great for older children. I would only recommend a stay at Annaliza if you are on a budget and only plan your bed as a base.

The location is is good ,nice views of the mountains in front and pool views from some rooms. Our room was clean with a kitchenette and separate sitting area leading on to a balcony with said pool and mountain views. There is a bar and large indoor seating area with a few tables outside, doubling up as eating area for breakfast. Hot water was plentiful. The issues are the rooms are tired and in need of an upgrade with minor maintenance issues like missing grout and gaps around plug sockets. The other bugbear was people were smoking at the tables outside and in ground floor rooms Their smoke came up and filled the 2nd floor rooms. Probably best to get a garden view room away from noisy guests and smokers.

Real life Inbetweeners movie Hotel scene - What a dump. Terrible place, the rooms were old and dated. Unclean, bins were not emptied everyday when they were emptied it wasn’t until about 3-4pm disgusting. We have time stamped pics for proof. Plug sockets hanging out the wall. Totally unsuitable for children. The place is marketed as family hotel. Absolute rubbish. We would never return this hell hole. We spoke with numerous other holiday goers staying there who expressed their concerns too. As it was their first and last time staying here as is ours. The place often smelled of sewage and the staff are so rude and unhelpful. We stayed 10 days and the sheets were never changed once and we only had the towels changed 2 times.. however the towels were all stained and dirty. It’s disgusting. Also you have to put your used toilet roll in a small broken bin which doesn’t get emptied everyday as marketed. MOSQUITOES GALORE - bugs everywhere absolute filthy accommodation. The beds were like slabs of concrete and so uncomfy. You have to balance the kettle on a shelf to plug in and use. Also the pool filter loud noise going off constantly sounds exactly like the NuNu from the Teletubbies only gets turned off about 10pm. Children weren’t aloud inflatables in the pool. Also.. all the loungers are tired and broke. We got some out on the grass and a woman come over and said I best clear all the cat poo up which is everywhere on the grass. Pool table was broke. The WiFi barely works. No entertainment. The place is in need of a massive refurb and new ownership. The old man or manager is sarky and shouts at you if you ask for anything. The place was just filthy gave us all bad stomachs all week.

Wish I had read the reviews before going to this hotel to avoid it spoiling our stay. we were a family of six with an autistic child. The night we arrived outside of the complex looked nice so we thought the rooms would be nice too, how wrong we were. An old man was at reception, no welcoming greeting at all that you would expect. He just took our 50 euros tourist tax with no smile and showed us to our room that was it. Got to our rooms to find a hostel feeling and filthy, not a fully equipped kitchen as advertised and the light fitting had come loose in the ceiling, cracked tiles on the floor, splattered mosquitos on the walls, and a messy garden view. For being self catering apartments no tea, coffee, sugar or milk available in the rooms for arrival. we were lost for words at the state of the rooms. No toilet paper can be put down the toilet so therefore it had to go in the bin, absolutely disgusting and it was mosquitos haven. The bins were not emptied regularly and stank the room out. We all got bitten by the mosquitos because of that, there was air con available at the cost of 7 euros a day!. This hotel definitely is NOT for families, the children were not allowed to have inflatables in the pool, no splashing and not allowed to eat own food around the pool. Urgently needed a travel cot on arrival and told at reception come back in the morning between hours of 9-4pm and ask then. Staff were very rude and unhelpful so we never asked for anything again. The beds were so uncomfortable we all bad backs and no sleep, we tried to find alternative accomodation but fully booked. Extra mattresses were only provided after our tour operator spoke to the hotel. We could not wait for our stay to be over and get on the plane and come home and would never recommend this hotel. We've stayed in budget hotels before and never experienced anything like this.

That place should be closed down. It should be reported to the Greek authorities. We spent 6 days and the cleaning service doesn’t exist, they didn’t clean or change the bed linen once. They cut the power and the water supply every day. The manager or the old man in reception is nasty and rude, with a passive aggressive attitude, not wanting to help with absolutely anything. Our apartment was facing a dump or homeless houses, and under our balcony there was rubbish everywhere, it was very scary. If you seat by the pool, everyone smokes in your face, you could be sunbathing and everyone is smoking around you. Terrible place, I felt I was in a 3rd world country instead of Europe, as the place was extremely old and dirty. That place should be reported to the authorities for unhealthy and safety reasons.
