“Lovely "olde worlde" hotel in Delphi with stunning views and great service”

This is an excellent value family run hotel in the centre of Delphi. ten minutes walk from the historic temple. There is free parking outside in the road and it is in the middle of the high street surrounded by tavernas and shops. Our room had a small balcony with wonderful hilltop views down the valley and across to the mountains and sea. The rooms are on the small side and slightly old fashioned quaint, but the beds were excellent and the bathroom spotless with a great hot shower. The staff were very hospitable and friendly, they served a pretty good breakfast (the coffee was not up to much) but at the price it is amazing value for money.

“Warm and Welcoming”

The view from the room was fantastic. The staff was warm, welcoming and very accomodating. Would definitely reccomend this place.

“A”

The room had an amazing view down the valley to the largest olive grove in Greece, the sea and the Peloponnese in the distance. The hotel is a nice size, quiet and not too big.

“Best value in Delphi”

I travel quite often (this trip 3 months in Europe), and this only the second review I have given. I had friends stay just down the road, paid quite a bit more, and were jealous of me in the Hermes. I have no reservations about recommending this hotel almost regardless of the the standard you are accustomed to. Central location, great balcony view, and a delightful staff. Try it, you'll like it. ps free internet cafe just up the road 150 meters on the left side.

“Lovely view but more stairs”

Very nice and value for money only there is no lift and you take your own bags up (max) 2nd floor,felt a bit like Robert Redford and Jane Fonda Barefoot in the park (more Stairs) The area is very touristy we decided against a visit to the local museum after seeing a little mug at 12 e in the gift shop.We stayed in three hotels in Greece this was the best in spite of the stairs.

“Great location - Great value”

I spent one night on a short trip to Delphi and was really impressed with the hotel. Service was good and it was right in the middle of town close to shops and restaurants. Breakfast was pretty basic but this was expected given the price. Free WiFi was really helpful. Would recommend for budget travellers.

“If only Delphi's hotels could be avoided...”

Unlike Athens, which now has a competitive market of smart good-value hotels, Delphi hotels seem poor and (because they cost much the same as Athens) very poor value for money. Most were last refurbished in the 1970s. Though hotel staff are friendly, customer service is also 1970s: for example hot water is turned off for two periods every day - doesn't make much difference in practice, but it illustrates an attitude. Many internet reviews say all this, so we had low expectations, and chose Hermes simply because it guaranteed a sea view at the time of booking and has big balconies from which to enjoy it. Hermes however seems to market itself primarily to student tour groups and when it has them - both nights of our stay - bumps individual travellers into the adjacent Varonos hotel. They seemed to think this was doing us a favour, but Varonos is just as basic and more importantly is set right back so its view is limited. The hotel staff at Varonos were exceptionally friendly and helpful, but the hotel management were not at all sympathetic to even the politest complaint, though they did eventually offer to relocate us into a particularly poor room in Hermes. Hermes room quality seems variable. Beware. The archaeological site at Delphi is very interesting, and not to be skipped. It is unfortunate that this of course gives the town's hotels a captive market. There are good restaurants in Delphi (eg Taverna Vachos) if you avoid those attached to hotels.

“Nice view and clean but disapointing...”

The hotel was clean and smoke free with a nice breakfast and a wonderfully nice balcony view! However...... the shower was laughably tiny and dirty with poor drainage. Me and my wife expected a full/queen bed and all they did was push together two twin beds. Hot water did not work half of our stay...miserably cold showers. I would still recommend this hotel due to the lack of other better hotels in the area.
