Ccb Bruskos Hotel

From the moment you arrive at Bruskos you feel welcome and relaxed. We were greeted by Irene who runs the hotel with her family and brilliant staff. There was a welcome glass of sparkling wine on arrival. The hotel is set in beautiful countryside with a delightful swimming pool. We had breakfast included and it was freshly cooked every day. Bacon, sausages, scrambled egg, boiled eggs, croissants, cold meats, olives, cereal, tea, coffee, orange/apple juice and sparkling wine. Lunch can be taken in the poolside bar. The food is delicious with lots of choice. All reasonably priced. The cocktails are splendid! The bar stays open until midnight. The rooms are very modern and comfortable and they are cleaned daily. There is a fridge and safety deposit box in the room. Irene arranged trips for us. 10 euro per person for a return trip to Corfu town and the coach picks you up and drops off from/to the hotel. The most beautiful taverna Kafesas is around a 5 minute walk away where you will find fantastic quality local dishes. There is a sandy beach around 10 mins walk from the hotel.

What a fantastic 7 days in Corfu at the Bruskos Hotel and Suites. From the moment we stepped foot to the moment we left we were so well looked after by the owner who is a star. She never stopped and was always around to help with and questions/support you needed. Even made us sandwiches for one of the early trips we went on plus booked the trips for us. We stayed in a Junior suite that was fantastic/spacious air conditioned and a free safe to use. Pool a bit cool in Oct lol but again huge and felt like we had our own private pool at times!!! Food/drink was very reasonably priced and great, the only issue we had was at night finding places open end of season!!! Would highly recommend a visit to all

Where do I start... you do NOT get what the pictures suggest on the website when you buy. Once you select your room type and click on photos ( we went for the cheapest option) you get lovely pictures of a luxurious double bed and a nice bathroom. In reality you get an old scrappy room in massive need of TLC with a tiny bathroom with the smallest shower cubicle you can imagine and shower curtain sticking to your body at all times as it's so small you can't even turn around in it. right next to a toilet so it also gets covered in water and the whole floor is flooded once you finish the shower. Of course they not gonna show you that as it would put anyone off from booking. It is very misleading and pictures should clearly represent what you're buying. We pushed 2 beds together and placed a blanket in between so that we can sleep together. The handle to the balcony was very loose and eventually fell off,which made it difficult to open the slide door. AC was not included in the price... on arrival we were shown to our room and asked to pay the tax on top without the mention that AC was not working in the room. We immediately had to go back to reception asking to purchase AC and then they handed us the AC controls. Would be nice if they told us straight away to avoid the unnecessary trip back to reception. Lastly, the walls were so thin we actually struggled to sleep due to neighbouring guests, people walking down the corridor was the loudest thing ever. It was very windy on a few occasions and the doors were rattling all night keeping us up. There is a netted opening in the wall in the bathroom which let's all the wind in and really makes a lot of noise when it's windy making the whole room rattle. It seems the hotel was built with max profit in mind and not the comfort of the guests. Pool area: nice enough but one of the ladders has come loose and about to fall off. Surely the hotel makes enough money to fix such basic things. Breakfast is very overpriced at 12 euro per person so we only did it once. We did self catering for the rest of the stay, but had no cuttlery just 2 mugs and a kettle. I've asked for a bowl, knife and fork at reception and was laughed at by the old lady who only mocked us and said 'what do u expect, u got the cheapest room'. She eventually did give me what I asked for but I did not dare asking for another bowl as there are 2 of us, was going to have yoghurt with fruit that's all. When checking out, she only asked if we have settled the extra tax and haven't even asked if we had a nice stay. Overall I could not give a better rating than 1 star. The area doesn't offer much entertainment but then I should have done more research. I would recommend the karaoke bar 'kazoos' on the main road which made a lot of our evenings.
