I stayed here during my trip to Corfu and it was a decent hotel. Definitely deserving of the 4 star rating, but nothing more.
The rooms were clean, everything was functioning, and they were spacious.
The service is alright, though I didn't feel the need to interact with the staff too much as everything was in order.
Now, the main attraction and the thing that amazed me the most was the food. Every breakfast and dinner were amazing and had more than enough choices for everyone to find what they liked. They even served Gyros once and every dish was of restaurant standard quality.
The main turn-off for many, however, might be the location which is relatively far from the inner city and has rather slim and difficult roads towards it, and the fact that the hotel itself is near the airport so planes may sometimes be heard. I personally haven't heard any when inside my room and my sleep wasn't interrupted by anything or anyone so it's not much of a problem for most people.
Overall a beautiful, fairly rated, and modern hotel.

What can I write about this hotel: I stayed here for a whole week. The room was clean and quiet, they clean it constantly. To the worker who runs away from the room, thank you very much! It happens that I leave such a mess, then I come back from a walk, and the room is like new! There are no questions for the number. There were such incompetent women working at the reception that it was difficult to negotiate or ask anything with them... It’s good that there was only one woman there (Olga, I think). This hotel worker helped me with everything, and it was clear from her face and eyes that she helped and advised me - sincerely! She is very friendly! I witnessed two episodes of enrollment of groups of tourists. The first episode, when about 15 people arrived, the woman at the reception could not accommodate them for a long time, she was lost, worried...; second episode: 3 large buses of young guys arrived, about 40, (maybe more people), so this Olga at the reception, served them so quickly and professionally, and arranged them by number, I was surprised by her professionalism! I later talked to these guys, they really liked that everything was done so quickly and efficiently! Olga is truly a professional in her field! Regarding noise: yes. There is an airport nearby, and when the plane lands or takes off, it is a little noisy, but this does not interfere, this is even the highlight of this hotel! Food: tasty, but monotonous. The head of the restaurant is a very attentive and polite person! Olga, if you are reading this comment, I want to thank you for your help, politeness and friendliness to clients! This is not only from me, but from our entire group! THANK YOU to the hotel, and especially to Olga!

Few nights stay at the hotel 🏨 overall a good experience! Starting with the positives, the rooms were spacious, had good air conditioning and the balconies had great views over the pool and the airport. The common areas were spotless, there was an amazing terrace on the ground floor with views and the people at the receptionists were extremely helpful! What is more the room was cleaned daily and there were some parking on site.
On the other hand, The hotel, including the rooms maybe need a little bit of a facelift.
It was an overall an acceptable experience but it did not feel like a four star hotel.

Our trip started with Corfu, so Ariti Grand was our baseline for Greece. First impressions are good. Location seems great- close to the airport (more on this), bus stop across the street, close to Corfu Town if you don't mind a little walking. The hotel appears fairly large, but in reality, there's not a ton of rooms on every floor, which is nice because it keeps foot traffic noise to a minimum.
Rooms were fairly quiet - with one exception. Remember the close to the airport thing? Well, it's close to the back of the runway where the planes take off from, so you get the full blast of engine noise. They did a decent job of trying to insulate from it, but with the lack of other noise, it's definitely worth noting if you are sensitive that way. We tend to be that way, however after the first night, we kind of got used to it since it's the same type of noise over and over, unlike someone talking or running down the hall (which we heard none of in 3 nights). Beds were comfortable. Not sure if every room was this way, but our double was 2 singles pushed together. For cuddling couples, be careful, if you pull the sheets up in the center and try to lay there, you will push the beds apart and fall to the floor. Good for a laugh if you don't tell your partner :). The only reason I gave the rooms a 4/5 was the bathroom- it could use some updating. While it was clean, it's definitely aged and ready for an upgrade given this is a 4 star hotel.
Breakfast is pretty good. Lots of seating, standard large collection of scrambled/boiled eggs, mushrooms, beans, ham bacon, breads, yogurt, pineapple, pears, potatoes some days, tomatoes, cold cereals, etc. I didn't notice anything that would be specific for Ariti, but I may have overlooked it if there was. We didn't go away hungry.
The staff were all very very pleasant, especially the breakfast staff. I will say this can make or break a review pretty quickly, but they did not disappoint for us. We understand people are people and we all have bad days, but if anyone here has one, they did not take it out on the guests.
Would we stay here again? You bet. Would it be our first choice? Who knows- when we revisit places we tend to try something new, but if we couldn't decide, Ariti would be a solid choice. Bear in mind, this is just our opinion, and everyone has a unique one. Use your best judgment, not someone else's.

First of all unlike many previous reviews this one will be mostly positive. The hotel is old and needs a renovation, especially when compared to the one right across the street, however it's more than serviceable and I'd say for the price we payed a good deal. The food is nowhere near a 4 star experience, at best it's bland. However the staff is wonderful, they really bring this somewhat run down hotel to the next level. Everyone was incredibly nice and helpful. The hotel is very clean, they come everyday and truly give you a 5 star experience. The rooms are spacious, but they're old. However I must say the beds themselves are incredibly comfortable. Overall I'm rating it only 3 stars, but if they did some renovations and hired a good chef this can easily be a 5 star experience. Dare I say it could be the best hotel on the island?
