Delphi Palace

Very peaceful stay in extremely charming hotel, amazing views over Ithea. Very helpful and friendly staff with special mention to Maya and Alexandria who went out of their way providing tips and local flavour.

Friendly staff on arrival (although the card machine was unavailable for use for payment when we left which was annoying), space to park car, easy to walk into the village for food and shops. The room had a balcony with a beautiful view out to the Gulf of Corinth and they had accommodated our need for extra beds. There was lots of communal space to sit indoors and out but everything felt "tired" and in need of making over. This is the feature which lets down the hotel: its lack of modernisation - some attempts have been made (particularly in the bathrooms) but they are badly finished with odd bits of plywood and filler. An air-conditioning unit pumped out hot air for most of the night and there was no-one available at reception to sort it out. It must have ben a stunning place 50 years ago but it really needs a bit of TLC now. There is no obvious reason not to recommend this hotel but be aware of going back in time!

Amazing views and helpful staff. Very friendly and a wonderful place to visit

We adored our experience at Delphi Palace. The hotel has as incredible view and is exquisitely decorated. It is in walking distance of the Oracle of Delphi. We had a wonderful dinner there. Mr. Panos is a fascinating host who has pioneered tourism in the city of Delphi. Upon entering the hotel you will see pictures of him together with Aristo Onassis, Ted Kennedy, and Hillary Clinton during their past visits to Delphi. Mr. Panos gave us a lot of attention and was very kind to leave gifts to our children prior to our departure. We hope to come back soon to see him and spend time in beautiful Delphi.

But be careful double-checking if you get the room acc. to the reservation made; as we arrived after the New Year celebration late, in the evening on Jan.1 and were told that because the previous guest couldn't check-out being sick we will be accommodated in the hotel of the same chain - Iniohos Hotel. We agreed, but after observing the room there agreed to saty only for 1 night as it was AWFUL. We stayed there at the discounted rate that we had to bargain and then moved to Delphi Palace which was much better in comparison to Iniohos. Be sure you have cash as their card terminal did not work. And be prepared that as a non-smoker you'll feel uncomfortable in the chilling area by the fireplace - it is allowed to smoke inside, as actually everywhere in that part of the Greece: the same situation in Arachova's bars and restaurants.

Only stay here for the view. Otherwise rooms are dated, no elevator for luggage, rooms more shabby than chic or antique. Staff is extremely friendly!

The place needs to be remodeled but the price was great and it was clean. I checked out a few other hotels in the area because we want to go back again and all the hotels looked like they needed some work and this place was pretty great in comparison.

Great hotel, badly kept. Sink took 30 minutes to drain each time used. No wi fi in rooms. Great view spoiled by spotlight in pool shining straight into room. Owner said he'd turn it off when we asked, but never did. Bed hard. Pool nice but full of bugs and inexplicably doesn't take advantage of the awesome views. Strange staffing. Always people standing around, but the one person you need has a line of people. Breakfast was very basic.

After a warm welcome on check-in, things went rapidly downhill at the Delphi Palace. The room was basic but clean; the taps on the narrow bath would let out only a trickle of water; the swimming pool was freezing and awash with dead insects. Dinner was inedible and breakfast decidedly underwhelming. The large coach party who tried to complain about the lack of choice at dinner received scowls and shrugs from a waitress who gave a new meaning to the word surly. Given that the hotel is at the far end of the village, ie at the opposite end to the site, I can see no reason why anyone should choose to stay there.

A gorgeous view. At first looks old but service is great. Only one supply plug but we lived with it.
