The highlight for us was the buffet breakfast which catered for all tastes ( full english and continental ). The outside dining area was a covered terrace overlooking the relaxing bar area beyond which was a small pebble beach served by the bar. The water was quite calm, enough for us to try paddle boarding from a nearby jetty where boards, jet-ski's and speedboats could be hired. The hotel itself did a small range of evening meals which were good value plus the adjoining restaurant had a more extensive menu which you could enjoy along with the evening entertainment at the bar with a resident DJ together with guest acts. One thing I would say is that if you like to get to bed early the music might be a bit intrusive but having said that, the double glazing and shutters did a good job of cutting out the noise so we had no trouble getting to sleep. All in all it's a good location with the main nightlife of the town literally yards up the road.

Budget friendly, hard bed
This hotel has so much potential. Staff was nice except for the man. My room was on the second floor and smelled damp and musty. Noisy heater and LOTS of ants and centipedes in the bathroom. Bed was rock hard. The hotel is situated in an adorable little town but this place needs a major revamp. I would not stay here again.

Off-Season Stay
We stayed here in the low season so there wasn’t much happening in the area - a few restaurants and one bar were open in Gouvia. The hotel is an easy walk from the bus stop to catch the blue bus to Corfu Town, continue on to the airport, or to catch the green bus to some other destinations. Room was pretty basic but the balcony was nice. The beach is a rocky beach and it’s pretty but not what I would expect for a beach hotel. I wouldn’t stay here again during the low season because there isn’t much happening but I would probably return during the summer months.

There wasn't anything we didn't like, we loved our stay there. The building was so individual, no long corridors with bedrooms going off either side in this hotel. The breakfast was superb, there was something to suit all nationalities. The staff were fantastic, they couldn't have been more helpful and friendly, I can't praise them enough. Thank you to all of them they made our holiday special. We hope to be back next year.

Great location, very relaxing stay.
We stayed here for three nights and had a great time. The location is excellent - very quiet with a small (stone) beach right at the door step, and with bars, shops and restaurants within walking distance. We stayed during the low season, so not everything was open yet. However, we felt the location was perfect to explore the northern part of the island and to have a relaxed stay. The hotel itself was simple but clean and well located. Staff were extremely helpful, friendly and went out of their way to accommodate us. Very nice breakfast buffet in the mornings - we enjoyed the fact that we could sit on the terrace with its lovely views. We will definitely come back. Not to forget, the prices were very reasonable and excellent value for money.

The hotel is very outdated and in need of many updates. The beach is not that great either - we had to drive to Barbati Beach every day in order to enjoy the sea. Breakfast is very average. On the bright side we liked the staff and the evening shows at the bar.

Excellent hotel on beach
Stayed at the Molfetta in August along with 2 friends. The hotel is 5 yards from the beach and 2 minutes to the town. Check-in only took a couple of minutes and we were given rooms 204 and 205 which also had a separate room with balcony which we could share. Both these rooms had views of the beach, outside bar and street into town. The hotel does not have a pool but is so close to the beach it didnt bother us at all. Gouvia is a small town with plenty of bars and restaurants although the beach is stony but clean.

Bright fullmoon lit up the dancefoor and resturant
Upon arrival we were informed it was our lucky night. We were upgraded to the suite. This sounds sweet... but the sounds from the active bar below were not so sweet until the wee hours of the morning. A couple hours later the sun is shinning as bright as can be into the room, and there is no escape. The sheers let light in and the "blinds" were noting more than see through loose bamboo. The world has a full view of you if you take advantage of the nice tub next to the window or if you stand up at night and you have any light on. (Sorry for anyone in the restaurant or bar who had to endure seeing my big ol' pasty white butt through the windows!) On the one entertainment night we were really looking forward to the Greek dancers... they were not there instead the Soccer final was on in a corner of the bar and loud music was being played in the area the dancers would have been. To top all of this off... the location in NOT the same place as shown on the map... it is actually in an inlet next to the marina... not on the sea. The location was close to the beach, great food, and public transportation. I would not stay here again.

Molfetta beach hotel
Enjoyed my stay at Molfetta beach hotel. Location was perfect for the beach and Restaurants. Staff were friendly and very helpful, especially with arranging taxi's or info about boat trips etc. I was very pleased with my room as it overlooked the beach. Room had air con at no extra expense. Entertainment at hotel was good most nights. Food at the hotel was good, whether it be a snack or evening meal. Only disappointment was paying for sun loungers on beach as so close to hotel they could have been included for guests!

Great central location with lots of amenities...
Just a short ways from Corfu town, very well connected for transport - whether you take the local bus, or the inter-village bus system or want to rent a car, it's all right there in Gouvia. The hotel itself is on a great water location spot with a beach, near lots of shopping, restaurants, tavernas and cafes in mere moments you can leisurely stroll to...as well as entertainment and activities to partake in. They have many recommendations. Enjoyed the style and spaciousness of the room...(the bed was very firm to get used to, but this can be very typical in Greece) and the breakfast was delicious. The staff is always helpful to answer questions to assist with planning your day and getting around as easily as possible. The other guests were friendly as well, and it was easy as a solo traveler to strike up a conversation over breakfast or a drink in the evening at the hotel bar. It was a lovely stay.

Superb hotel
We had a superb stay with lovely staff and lovely hotel surroundings and location. The rooms are spacious and clean and well maintained. The bar and restaurant staff were great in the evenings. The entertainment was a bit of a let down but better weather may improve the experience. We highly recommend the hotel in all other ways and would certainly return.

Brown water
First off, we had to wait an hour and a half past our check in time to get our room. Our shower door was broken and the hotel staff informed us that it would be fixed within the afternoon. It was not fixed for two days, after whe had asked multiple times. They do not change out the towels daily nor do they extensively clean the room. When the power went out in the town, it turned our water brown and we were unable to shower. They were not willing to comp us on any of the issues we encountered. The staff were friendly but our stay was not ideal.

Molfetta Beach Hotel - loveliest staff in Corfu!
Rarely have I stayed in a hotel where all the staff go so much out of their way to be charming, friendly, helpful and efficient. This hotel is perfectly situated on the beach in Gouvia Bay, with a beautiful view of the bay in the daytime and a fun party atmosphere in the evening, thanks to the wonderfully camp and corny entertainment around the bar in the evening.

Peaceful spot, friendly staff
Stayed 3 nights at the end of May. Location is right on a peaceful beach, and good for exploring other areas of the island by car or public transport. Hotel rooms are basic but comfortable and the staff are extremely helpful. Breakfast was ok. Probably more of a family or elder couple place, but that may change in peak season. Would recommend with that caveat.

ok if you're wanting a beach holiday
Gouvia is a small 'touristy' resort with no local flavour of the real life in Greece. However the hotel itself is clean and comfortable and the staff are friendly and helpful. The local bus service runs from quite near the hotel to visit Corfu Town and from there you can catch buses to other locations in the region. If you are looking for a beach holiday then the hotel is idealy placed in a lovely bay.

Great Hotel
Hotel right on Beach, near cafes, restaurants, car hire, staff very helpful. Unfortunately we were there at end of season, so did not see it in full swing - large bar/entertainment area which was open but only a few people present (no live entertainment while we were there). Room excellent (we overlooked the bar and beach). An inexpensive bus trip into the town centre worked best for us, then we hired a car to scoot around the rest of the island.

A great place to relax.
We spent four great days at this wonderfully under-rated 3 star hotel. It is fairly basic but the rooms are clean, air conditioned, every one has a balcony and a good sized bathroom. There is a great bar and snack bar, and a lounge outside and opposite the beach. There is live entertainment every night and the public is allowed in to this area. Great restaurants are nearby. The hotel does not do dinners. It does snacks and light lunches. Continental breakfast is included in the rate but it is very basic. They could add some variety to this and we have not yet stayed in any hotel in Europe that does a really good cup of coffee. Otherwise, this was a great hotel, great price and the staff on the main desk were absolutely wonderful.

The hotel overlooks a beautiful bay. The staff, mainly Alexandra and Margarita ,were wonderful- cordial and so helpful with our sightseeing plans. Our comfortable room overlooked the bay, the view from the balcony was just beautiful, it was a bit noisy at night as our room overlooked the active beach bar below. The hotel is centrally located, getting everywhere with our rented car was easy! An unforgettable stay, looking forward to visiting again!! I'd recommend this hotel to anyone planning on visiting Corfu.
