Opera Blue Hotel Gouvia Corfu

Un hôtel, sans hygiène les chambre était dans un état déplorable, de la rouille partout des toilettes sale sans parler de la douche avec trace jaunâtre de partout on a eu le droit à une journée complète sans eau sans wifi en se rapprochant de l’accueil tout est normal pour eux on a dû changer d’hôtel car on nous a fait changer de chambre pour quelle soit dans le même état

The two female staff on reception and at the bar were lovely! The male staff on site can only be described as odd. We decided to stay a night to experience a stay at €70 with a view to staying next year with 9 family and friends. The room we stayed in looked great but to be honest it stank and the toilet wasn’t connected to the wall so when you flushed the loo it all went everywhere absolutely disgusting. It’s like faulty towers but even worse. I was approached while waiting for my wife in the breakfast area by three Greek guys questioning me on why I was there but in a very intrusive manner! One of the kitchen staff looked dirty and scruffy so we never took up the breakfast. We obviously won’t be using this place is extremely odd. The food place next door is associated to the hotel and the food was extremely bland we ended up leaving most of it. The worst Greek food I’ve ever had whilst visiting the island over the past 15 years! I had to ask for seasoning for the salad and the chicken which was extremely dry and tasteless!

We paid £328 upgrade to Tui for a guaranteed pool view top notch balcony room. Upon arrival we were shown to our room (212). It was small and pokey and "worn out" but the stench of sewage completely took our minds off that. It was disgusting and made us heave. We opened the doors to the balcony to find the only view we had was the top of the entrance porch with 2 aircon units. My partner complained to reception and the manageress was quite obnoxious. She told us we were in an upgrade room and the sewage smell was tolerable!! After 2 days of being ill from the pong they agreed to move us to the room we should have had in the first place but it wouldn't be available for another 2 days. My memories of waking and wretching at the same time linger. There is definately a sewage problem at the hotel and also in it's location. Some days the pool area and hotel landings/interior had the unbearable pong. Breakfast was a mishmash of cold meats, a different form of egg each day and on the plate Broccoli or other left over veg from the night before. It was a first for us both but give me a full English any day of the week. There was no toaster either during our stay. The pool bar was the most expesive bar in Gouvia. 5 Euro for a 330Cl bottle of beer ( £8.30/pint approx). We were in Gouvia with another couple who stopped at the 2* Popi Star. Cheaper and not a single complaint. To sum up - if you are planning to go to Gouvia rule out the 3* Opera Blue and slum it instead. The slums are better.
