Pantokrator Hotel

The restaurant and bar staff are lovely but that still does not make up for the state of the room. The pictures of the Superior Room on the hotel website are misleading. The pictures attached show the grim reality of their Superior Rooms. I spoke to the front desk who told me that "yes, your room is superior but all rooms are different" Luckily we were just staying for 2 nights. Add to this: • no hot water on both days (front desk said the water situation impacted everyone as if she thought that made us feel better • tiny bathroom • no sound proofing in the room. It's possible to hear everything in the adjoining room • clothes storage that was just an open shelf unit • no extra bed (we didn't need one but the website said it had one" • standard domestic fridge in the room that made a racket • no tea / coffee making facilities (well, unless you consider three packets of Green Tea (nothing else) to nail that feature) The room was tired. The one piece of furniture was cracked and splitting where the cheap MDF material had got damp. We strongly believe it is the worst hotel bedroom we have ever experienced. But as I said at the start. The restaurant team and bar team were delightful.

Great view, comfortable room, great breakfast, close to the beach and all amenities (bus stop, car hire, restaurants and shops). Gym was nice and fully equipped (not shown in pictures). Didn't mind climbing the stairs to get to room.

Great hotel with wonderful friendly and attentive staff. Would recommend to anyone for a peaceful break!

I booked a standard Seaview room on front with Expedia. On checkin receptionist told me we had an upgrade to 607. This was the furthest back, impossible to walk to pool, restaurant etc. Upgrade was a lie as room was basic, plastic shower curtain etc. I do not appreciate being lied to. I asked for a change nearer to pool, was told hotel fully booked (what happened to my room then??). We were told 1 room left 215 near to facilities. We took this, but it was a mistake, no privacy at all, ground floor corner balcony overlooking kitchens, noisy chimney all day/night. It was like Piccadilly Circus with constant traffic of people past balcony at front and at the back of room was the cleaners storage where staff congregated at times, sitting on steps outside room. This was third time I stayed at this hotel and expected better service and at least some loyalty, but it was not to be. The breakfast and dinner buffet were excellent as were restaurant staff. Pool was large and clean, no wasps!!

An amazing experience at this hotel. Thank you to the wonderful staff. We had a great time. The Buffett breakfast is incredible and the pool and views are world class... Great gym too. Friday night live band in bar area. Very entertaining.. What more do you want!

Great stay and the staff are kind and attentive.

Friendly, great hospitality and lovely service.

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.

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.

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

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.

Beautiful view. Friendly staff. Good entertainment

A great place to rest and relax, walk to beach not too far. Bus service close at hand. Resort style hotel the breakfasts are amazing and included. And greel night on thursday nights is great fun.

Lovely hotel great location in Corfu Island . Good food and facilities . It is on a steep hill so not great for older people or buggies

Beautiful hotel with a perfect view on the sea! It d’as a pleasure to stay there

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!

Nice place probably back in the day. Tight quarters and we had trouble with the hot water fluctuating from cool to very hot.

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

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!
