Overall Ratings & Reviews Delphi Palace

The owner of the hotel was the finest of persons. The female assistant was kind and helpful. The view from the hotel is the best ever of the Corinthian Gulf and the beginning of the plain leading up to the Sanctuary of Delphi. Classic Old Hotel with a lot of history. And gain, my sincere thanks for the graciousness shown to me by the owner and the assistant.

Lots of character. Large suite. Great view of valley below. Near Delphi archealogical site.

Very much needs renovation. Views are fabulous. Breakfast, not so great..

Unfortunately, our visit to the Delphi Palace was disappointing. It may once have been a 4* hotel, but today is is at best a hotel of faded grandeur, and at worst dilapidated and unsafe. On the positive side, the staff could not have been more friendly, or more helpful. However, a number of areas around the hotel seemed in bad repair to the extent that I believe they posed a health and safety risk to our young children (8 & 6). Examples include the wooden railings directly in front of the swimming pool which were rotten and insecure, and if leant against, even by accident, could well have broken, and an individual would have dropped 10-15ft to hard ground below. Plus, the swimming pool itself was in quite bad repair and the 'lining' of the pool had broken away from the foundations in a number of places; plus, there were no steps on the ladder to climb out of the pool - another safety issue. In my opinion, the hotel needs to realise that it is not today what it once was, and invest in repairing the areas that are most unsafe. This is not a reflection on anyone who worked there, but we would not return to this hotel.

We had a wonderful stay and the staff was very welcoming.

It's in a great location - very close to the town with lots of local tavernas to eat in, and in walking distance of the ancient sites of delphi and the museum. the team are very friendly and helpful, the rooms and amenities are quite basic though similar to other accommodation in the local area.

The views are great! The location is wonderful. The interior is excellent.

Delphi is perhaps the most beautifully situated archaeological site in Greece, and this hotel, which offers spectacular views down the valley to the Gulf of Corinth and Itea, is an ideal complement for your visit. The hotel is on the far side of Delphi town from the archaeological site, but it is still fully walkable. Great service from the staff and a surprisingly fine restaurant, as well. We were delighted with our stay.

Older place but they took care of us really well. Great view and nice pool. And it's close to Delphi.

Friendly staff and a beautiful view to the sea was about all there was to recommend. Hotel is badly in need of an upgrade-- air conditioning did not work and WIFI was intermittent and slow. Breakfast was satisfactory at best.

The hotel itself is still pretty nice - many other reviews talk about faded grandeur and it is mostly true: the hotel would have been quite the spot in its heyday. Nowadays it still has gorgeous views and there is a large terraced patio with a pool as well as a restaurant and bar. We were there in the shoulder season and saw almost no other guests but during the peak season with people around it likely is quite nice.

My stay was perfect. i diffidently will back to this hotel and this town. the view is amazing, i really recommend this place and hotel!!!

Nice Hotel in Delphi, with a great view and helpful staff.

Expedia said we could check in at 1100. We arrived at 1400 and our room wasn't ready. The furniture throughout the hotel was worn-out/beaten, like it was 20+ years old (not like the pictures). In short, the hotel looks like it was closed for years and just recently reopened. Many things need to be refreshed and updated. The air conditioners in both of our bedrooms (family of 5) did not work. It was 100+ F outside making it unbearable. As such, we elected not to stay the night and instead drove back home to Athens.

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!
