The 6 Best Budget Hotels on Corfu
While some people may regard the mass-market tourism development of Corfu as a nuisance, to others it is a blessing; it means there is a well-developed range of hotels catering for all pockets, from luxury to budget. If you're not feeling flush with cash, use our guide to the best budget hotels on Corfu to ensure a great stay that won't cost you a fortune.
Types of accommodation range from frills-free hotels and family-run guesthouses to simple B&Bs and self-catering apartments. And they are not all cooped up in one area but are spread around the island. The east coast north of the capital, around Ipsos and Dassia, is fun and popular with good sandy beaches; further north around Kassiopi, there are bays to explore as well as the charming fishing town itself. And if you really want to get off-the-beaten-track, head inland to the mountain villages.
Most towns and villages have surprisingly well-stocked supermarkets; often a bakery, too. Eating out, if you keep away from the obvious tourist honeypots, is not expensive. And there’s a good, and cheap, bus service around the island. So, if you want a sunshine break, but don’t want to break the bank, use our guide to the best budget hotels on Corfu.

Corfu Town
If you don’t mind paying just a little extra, both the Bella Venezia and Siorra Vittoria offer excellent value for hotels in the centre of Corfu town.
- The 31 rooms at Bella Venezia, a traditional townhouse, are light-filled and quietly elegant
- while the nine rooms of Siorra Vittoria, a neo-classical mansion, are richly furnished; and the property also has a garden.

On the West Coast
- In a sought-after position, beside the stunning Paleokastritsa bay, Zefiros Traditional Hotel is nowhere near as old-fashioned as it sounds.
