Stayed at the Amalia for a 10 night stay. The hotel is on the main road within easy reach of local bus stops. Rooms: Rooms were basic, bed was the Hardest I have ever slept on and creaked every time I turned over, not very comfortable. Bedding was changed after day 5, Towels were changed more often. There isn't a hairdryer in the room but you can request one from reception. The shower was tiny, just enough room to turn. Wee tip. Be careful with the water. It comes and goes and goes from hot to cold. Staff: The staff at the hotel were very friendly and always willing to help with any enquiry. Bar staff were very attentive. Try a kumquat lover cocktail. Very yummy. Premium alcohol was not part of the AI but could be purchased if wanted . Entertainment was on only on 3 days a week. And none were at the weekend. Food: Now this is a mixed review. The breakfast and lunch were ok Dinner, well I personally found it cold, it was tasty enough just needed a min or 2 in the microwave . If you want to eat out there are a couple of restaurants I would definitely recommend. La Casa and Alexandros. La Casa is right across the road and Alexandros is just down the street. Both serve really tasty local food. I would also recommend a trip into Corfu City. Get the bus. Costing around €2:30 and will take around 30mins. Wander round the shops and stop for lunch in the many tavernas. There is a beach BUT. and its a big BUT. To get-together beach you have to walk past a big Hotel called Ikos. Once to actually reach the beach you will notice that the whole stretch is privately owned by the big hotel. You can walk along but your not permitted to use the sun beds and there is security to make sure you don't. I would go back. If they changed the mattresses. But I guess for a 3* it was OK.
