Friendly and attentive staff in a hotel with pleasant views. I would strongly recommend adding dinner to your booking as the amazing food in the hotel is so much better than what is on offer on the main street close by. The hotel has thought about everything to ensure their guests are looked after - from the driver who is always on hand to bring you to your room or down to the Main Street (the hotel is located on a steep hill, so depending on where your room is located the walk can often be a lot in the strong heat of the day) to having showering facilities available to guests who have checked out of their rooms at 11am but who are still using the pool etc before their departure. Only downside was the amount of wasps and hornets around the pool. They would gather on the vents around the pool making it difficult to get in and out, and also making it hard to relax if you’re nervous of them.

Lovely and affordable stay
We enjoyed our stay at Pantokrator. We especially liked the friendly staff, spacious room (superior double room), the facilities including the pool and breakfast area overlooking the beautiful scenery. Some things we think could be improved are the pillows, cleanliness of the floor, the water pressure on the shower head, and the supply of hot water in the shower. At times there was not enough hot water especially late at night.

The property itself is beautiful. Breakfast was a winning point. Wifi didn't work, and I was unable to work as I had planned in the evenings. Staff was dismissive about this, despite the money it cost me, and just said they didn't know why it didn't work. Also, the room doesn't have a bathtub, and when I asked about it, I was told that I didn't ask for it. Mattress needs to be replaced. Overall, a safe place, and great view... air conditioning in the general area, which, when it worked, was the only place wifi was available, but I was literally dripping with the heat. Staff was nice besides this, but when a person books a hotel so they have wifi, it should have wifi, and mattress shouldn't be cot-style. I spent too much.

Disappointed
I wanted to stay on the west side of the island but because of the photos on the internet I chose this side/hotel. They are not like the photos. Very outdated, bugs everywhere, there were ants all over balcony, bugs in the room. The TV did not work, the WiFi did not work in the room. The whole place is on a hill, so you snake your way up a bunch of stairs and hills. There was limited parking throughout the place. Placement of AC blows on the bed and it didn’t keep temperature

What was not
A holiday spoilt. The hotel took an appropriate step to address the issue on the final day, however it was avoidable and must be avoided in the future for other guests. Aside to our specific issue, the hotel must adapt processes to manage site supervision and formal methods of address to issues for swift resolve. Location - connected by a comfortable bus that will cost adults and Children over 6 - 2 euro 20 cents to go from Corfu old town bus station to the bottom of the hill in Barabati. Taxi from airport will cost 40 euro's. Make sure you tell the driver what you will pay or be prepared to pay 50 euro's or more. You can book a hire car from Barabati for about 30 euro's per day and they will deliver it to the airport, its cheaper than a taxi and you get the chance to explore for a day to decide what will be your go to destination. Pebble beach x 2 access routes. Don't bother with the first and closest, walk additional 5 minutes and you will have all you need for a full day and evening of sea, sun and fun (food and drink) reasonable prices and great service, great beach and atmosphere & a view that calms the senses. 2 x loungers will cost you approx 8 euro for a full day. Hotel Should try to offer transfers. Must be mindful that when something is not working, to ask for help is a fair request. Great guests with a refreshment drink, smile and an always personal touch on arrival, share Greece through your hotel please.

We had the most wonderful, relaxing time. The room was clean and very comfortable, with a great view of the sea and surrounding areas. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Great breakfast. Gorgeous pool! Loved this hotel and looking forward to coming back very soon! It’s set on a mountain and is walking distance to two beautiful beaches. The water is amazing! We really enjoyed swimming there. The location of this hotel is absolutely fantastic and the staff made us feel very welcome. Thank you for a great time!

Location great
The hotel is located in Barbati which is pretty with 2 lovely beaches accessed via steep paths. The hotel is set amongst the mountainside and is modern. We went at the end of the season and it felt as if the staff were tired and ready for a break. Not many smiles except for the lovely lady in the pool bar. Our room was small smelly and accessed via the patio door. It was supposed to be renovated superior room but I think that was a lie to avoid allowing us to change rooms when we asked. We had an issue with ants in the bed on the first night and we were treated as if it was in our heads- complete denial- lets hope it was just ants- I am not so sure. the food was OK- but there are a few tavernas on the main road worth trying too. All in all we had a lovely holiday because the views and beaches made it all worth while. Would we go to Barbati again- yes. Pantokori- No

Stunning views, beautiful pool and hotel
We have just got back from a fantastic stay at the Pantokrator Hotel. The view from everywhere around the hotel (room, pool, restaurant and bar) was a stunning sea view from wall to wall :-) The hotel is classy and well furnished. The pool and pool bar area is particularly nice - I’m not a majorly pool person, but really enjoyed staying at the hotel by the pool most days. It was not too busy and a calm, positive atmosphere. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, but very respectful and by no means overbearing or intrusive. There was always someone on hand to ask questions, and it was nice seeing the same friendly faces at meal times/around the hotel :-) The food was fantastic - such a vast spread, fresh and yummy. We were half board (breakfast and dinner), and lunch at the pool bar was very reasonable (little supermarket 2 mins round the corner if you want to make up your own sandwiches etc) Barbati (the village) is cute but fairly quiet (not a place to go to if you want party nights out)...a few nice restaurants and bars (beach bar is very pretty/nicely lit up at night). Corfu town (where the airport is) is about 40 mins south. We arrived on a Sunday - so a €40 taxi was the best way to get to the hotel....but buses are quite easy to get in the week. We hired a car one day and drove to other beaches - a bit more sandy on the West side. 7th heaven bar (north west coast) is a lovely bar and great sunset view. Kassiopi and hiring a boat we’re great!

October trip to Corfu
Stayed at this hotel mid October. Marvellous weather and stay. Service at the hotel was brilliant. First night on level 5 in a superior room. Unfortunately no bath so we asked for a room with a bath. Moved to a room on level 1 with bath next day for remainder of week. Beautiful room (214). All public areas lovely-modern 'boutique ' feel. Pool area lovely. Breakfast was great-excellent buffet choice-something for everyone. My husband is coeliac and gluten free bread was provided. Buffet evening meals average but lots of choice and great salad bar. The outlook from everywhere is spectacular. Not much open in Barbati itself. We had a car and got around the island. The north is beautiful-you need a guidebook and go off the beaten track. Some spectacular views and beaches with crystal clear water. Had a drive down to the south one day. Mistake! OMG-Kavos-what a complete dump-don't go there! First time visitor to Corfu and would recommend the north and this hotel.

The hotel was great, staff was fabulous and the location was more than perfect. Mountains to the back of the hotel and the beautiful ocean in the front, the most scenic view a person could ask for.

Fantastic hotel, stunning location
Absolutely loved the Pantokrator hotel. It is built on to the side of a mountain and overlooks the ocean. From the moment you arrive the views are breathtaking. There are so many places to sit and watch the sea and nothing feels too crowded. Rooms are lovely, staff are superb and can't do enough to help and breakfast is absolutely excellent. It is on a hill so be prepared to do some steep walking (or get the bus!) but it is worth it for the stunning beach only 10 minutes away and myriad great restaurants where you can eat with an incredible view

Love this place
Was a really great stay at the Pantokrator. Special mention to Janea on reception. She was amazing, giving great advice on what to see and do in Corfu. She made the trip extra special. All the other staff were great too and friendly. Yes, the hotel is a bit of a climb from the main road but the views make up for it. The room was really good with a great bathroom. Only gripe is the lack of WIFI in the room itself. The breakfast and dinner options were really good and plentiful. If staying in the area make sure you stay here.

We were positively surprised how amazing this hotel was. Extremely comfortable with a high level of service, beautiful rooms, very clean... And a unbelievable view!! Every room can expect such a view. Perfectly picturesque pool! The staff were very friendly and helpful, we had some complicated diet requirements and they bent backwards to help us in every way.

Fantastic views and generally great hotel
The views were one of the best things about this hotel especially in the evening at sunset. The one thing we didn't realise until we got here though was how steep the hill was to get from the hotel to the beach and main road. Plus nowhere did it say about the climb to the rooms again up a very steep hill. We were in the very top set of rooms and although it was good exercise it was annoying this was never mentioned. Th breakfast in the mornings was good and what you would expect from the hotel. We did not use the buffet for dinner though as there are some wonderful restaurants on the main road close to the hotel. The pool bar is good with some nice sandwiches made fresh at lunch. The swimming pool was good and the loungers were comfortable with a mat on it. However there was a huge amount of wasps hanging around the edges of the pool all the time. The room itself was comfortable, unfortunately the TVs channels were not working properly when we visited there were only 2 channels in English which were BBC world and sky news. Not really an issue but boring at night when you wanted to put something on and all you can get is a repeat of the news. The bathroom for me was below par. It was so tiny, the sink was far too small and the shower was the worst part. We had an awful shower head when we first arrived that had no water pressure at all so felt like you weren't actually showering. it was either scolding hot or freezing cold. This was changed but the shower is so small.

An Amazing Getaway
Hotel Pantokrator was an amazing discovery for my boyfriend and I. When traveling to Corfu you have two options. Little quaint towns or busy tourist hotspots. Barbati has some of the best beach areas. If you don't want to hit a pebble beach, the hotel has a lovely pool! Huge daybeds are free to guest use. There is a great poolside restaurant for drinks and food as well. The morning breakfast held at the main hotel restaurant was one of the best I've ever had. There was a huge selection of food- yogurt, fruit, eggs, beans, toast, cereal, delicious coffee...etc. This is not to be missed! The only warning I have is that the hotel is on a steep hill so you must walk about 7 minutes up or down to get to town. But take it slow and you'll be fine! The rooms were basic but had amazing views! Bathrooms were small and showers tight, but all of the other amazing aspects of this hotel make something like a small bathroom a non issue! Good luck and stay here for sure!!!

Hotel was beautiful with nice pool and pool area. Breakfast was fine, very standard. Pictures provided for the rooms to online sites were all luxury, standard rooms are fine but bed was very uncomfortable. Luxury rooms are beautiful and all individual interiors. Barbatti town is very very quiet, bus is available to Ipsos (always late) but is more lively there for young people lots of italians. Corfu town is about 40 minutes away also best place for eating out.bus stop is right at the end of the hill of the hotel (lots and lots of hills!)

Far from Corfu town and costs 40 dollar taxi to get to hotel from airport around 30 minutes driving it is almost secluded in mountain with small village and shops and small beaches around .

Great place to stay for a relaxing holiday
A great small hotel if you just want to relax, a car is essential if only to get around the hotel site as the many steps are really steep. Was quite dissapointed in luxury room as was quite small, no bath, no wardrobes, no drawers, no cupboards, just shelving and a tiny hanging pole. Staff were really great, just unfortunate that the staff change over on our last day, to an english lady, decided to settle our bill for us before we left.

Quiet and Secluded
Great hotel on the side of a mountain on Corfu! If quiet and solitude is what you seek, with a great pool, this is your place! Comfortable room with a great view of the sea. The hotel is located on the side of a beautiful mountain and is very picturesque. Barbati Village is a 10 minute walk down the hill and has a few good restaurants to choose from. A tiny beach is located at the bottom of a steep hill. The beach is rocky and best navigated with some good footwear... Water is clear and beautiful. A larger beach is on the other side of the village. The pool area at the hotel is very nice and the snack bar / lounge serves nice food for lunch. Yes there is an issue with the bees/ hornets, but not a big problem.. Hotel staff is friendly and courteous. Breakfast is served daily and there is a wide variety of food and beverage choices. If you are looking for a relaxing and quiet place, this place is great. The only drawback is the remoteness from hotel to the port/airport. Taxi is about 35 euros from/ to each... I would stay there again and recommend it to friends...
