Art Hotel Debono

Everything was perfect

We had the most charming bungalow in the middle of the olive garden, it was a real treat. The most amazing and delicious breakfast we ever had. This place had all you could possibly want from a breakfast and some of the finest ingredients most 5 star hotels don’t have. We also had dinner and it was ready worth it.

The jacuzzi from the bungalow wasn’t working and the early breakfast was not nearly as good as the one prepared (I would give it a 1 out if 10), and unfortunately we had to take the early breakfast twice..

The staff were the nicest and most helpful I have ever experienced.

Nothing

We booked very last minute and were pleasantly surprised with a free upgrade to a bungalow. The hotel also allowed a late-night check-in around midnight, which was very convenient as our ferry was late. The property has parking in front (though not always available), and the grounds are beautiful. The pool looked well-maintained, though we didn’t swim. Our bungalow was huge — spacious living area, balcony, and bathroom. Staff were friendly, and housekeeping did a good job tidying (not sure about cleaning) the room daily. With a car, the location is good: 5 minutes to the marina, 15 to Corfu town, and 25 to some of the west coast’s best beaches.

On arrival, parking in front was full and we had to leave the car near the tennis courts, which were poorly lit at night — not a great first impression. I had to find my way back with zero guidance in the dark. Although the room looked clean at first glance, we found multiple hair in the bed on both nights, even after housekeeping. The bathroom itself was clean, but the walls behind the toilet and towel racks weren’t as spotless. Breakfast was varied but underwhelming — omelet and bacon were not good, cheese hit-and-miss (great Gouda, bad Gruyere), though the yogurt and muesli were excellent. The biggest issue was comfort: the mattress sagged badly and felt very old, despite the rest of the furniture being new. Pillows were uncomfortable, and the soundproofing was terrible. We could hear upstairs neighbors walking and flushing toilets clearly, which disrupted our sleep. Our bungalow was at the far end of the property, which made carrying luggage a hassle. No one helped us with our luggage and it was a long and uphill path. The receptionist simply pointed us toward the sign, which was misleading, so it took us longer to find the room. The outside of our bungalow was also less appealing compared to others (no stonework, no lawn in front, and a ditch behind). The view was average, facing another bungalow, though the distant mountains were nice. PS: Nothing against older people however where were all the young people? We felt like the youngest guests by far — and we’re almost 30. :D
