Corfu Secret Hotel

Amazing stay at Corfu Secret Hotel - very clean, friendly owners, beautiful pool, and a great terrace for breakfast. The only negative point is that you must walk downhill to reach the beach and restaurants. Also, the breakfast could have some fresh fruits. A suggestion for the owner - offer dinner at your facilities (maybe even traditional Greek food?).

A realy wonderful boutique hotel full of unique old style paints 🎨 and an amazing view. The staff was every moment next to us. Spiros every morning had to organize a different trip around the island for us. Very clean rooms and a quality continental breakfast. It's sure that we will visit again this place.

Arrived in the evening and were greeted by a very friendly man who had very limited English but tried his very best to firstly, find someone to help but quickly realised he was going to have to attend to us. Managed to be understood with his limited English and our non-existent Greek and some old fashioned hand gestures. The key card was temperamental but he gave us an alternative within minutes. It was very quiet and relaxing at the hotel, which was exactly what we needed. We were the only people in the pool which was small but ideal. We never made it down for breakfast after late nights exploring the area.

Terrible basic accommodation cant understand why people like it. We wanted to leave immediately but it was too late at night to find something else. Only good thing we can say is that its clean but rugs and furniture were so worn out. Main thing is that we booked a standard room with panoramic view but we got a basement with no view. I asked for a refund of extra amount paid for the view room but this was refused when ******* agent phoned the hotel and apparently the manager raised his voice, insistent we got the room we booked, so just a warning you may not get what you think you will.

We knew this was a basic budget hotel but as we only needed it from 10.30pm to 7.30 am there was no point paying for a decent hotel. As soon as we got there we were surprised that it was so basic the rugs and furniture are very worn and in need of replacement. We requested the standard room with panoramic view. The website shows a seaview in the description of that room type. I will add pictures of the "view". I requested via ******* a refund of the extra paid for said view but it was disputed by the owner. The ******* agent said the owner raised his voice insisting we had correct room and needed to pay extra for upstairs room.

This hotel had the best view out of all the hotels on our trip (room 202). I loved sitting on the balcony of our room, listening to cicadas and looking at the vistas. They are exactly like on the pictures. The receptionists also did their best to help the customers. For example, the bed was a bit hard for my taste so he asked the cleaning lady to bring me a softer matress which was perfect. There's a bus stop 400 meters downhill (bus number 7 goes to Corfu town). Keep in mind this is uphill on your way back, though. Ipsos is also close by with its restaurants, bars and a beautiful beach. Corfu is so beautiful. Each view is postcard material. I recommend hiring a car or a motorbike and driving around like we did. The receptionist can help you finding a rental place. The hotel also has a friendly cat that can be found chilling on the premises. He lets you pet him and purrs. The only negative we could think of is that my spouse thought the breakfast was a bit simple.

We returned to Corfu in August and were quite limited as to where we could stay in Ipsos as most properties were sold out or to expensive. We found this property on *********** but eventually booked it direct and paid just over £600 for 1 week’s B and B which is good for that time of year. We know Ipsos well and have seen this property before but this is the first time we have used it and were so glad we did. The property is situated up the hill from Pyrgi and then left by the small shop it takes about 10 minutes to walk from Al’s restaurant to the hotel. The only thing I would say is that the property may not be suitable for people with reduced mobility as it’s set over different levels with steps to the rooms and pool. The number 7 blue bus starts at the end of the road and runs through Dassia and Gouvia to Corfu town every 20 minutes. We used this to get to the airport for about 10 Euro’s changing at San Rocco then onto the airport. All the staff were friendly and helpful and the view from the balcony was amazing over Ipsos bay. The room was comfortable and clean and the safe and A/C were included in the price. The breakfast was a bit limited but perfectly okay for your day ahead. I can recommend this hotel highly and we would return when in Ipsos again.

Very good value for the money you spend Very kind staff! Fine breakfast. Nice rooms and room service. Nice and clean pool. The room was cleaned daily and everything was clean. You get shampoo and clean towels every day. The pool-area was also clean and fresh.

This hotel is excellent value for money. It’s very clean with friendly staff especially the lady who sorts out breakfast she was absolutely lovely and couldn’t do enough for us. It’s 10mins walk down to Ipsos where all the bars and restaurants are. We would definitely recommend.
