"Great location in town. Spectacular view from their resturant. Only small complaint is the room is very tiny for two people but understandable considering the space and building in the hillside."
"This is the preeminent property with the best view from any room. Also top marks for proximity to the archeological ruins in Delphi and top restaurants in town. Well worth our stay."
"Our (family with 2 kids under 12 y.o.) stay was very nice. The responsible person at the hotel was very helpful with our requests and made some very nice suggestions during our 4-night stay. The junior suite was nice, warm and clean. Our younger son, 7 y.o., loved his own bed area under the staircase. The home-made breakfast was very nice, too."
"We were shocked to find out there's skiing in Greece! This is by all means a hotel that would totally fit in in a ski resort in the Alps or even Aspen. The room we stayed in was amazing, very high ceilings, beautiful bedding and upholstery on the very comfy reading chair. The bathroom is perfect, the bath tub huge. Staff was very friendly, the breakfast plentiful. Would love to see how this ares looks when its snow-covered!"
"Great location and the staff were amazing. One of the best places I have visited recently. However, they should improve a bit the drink service around the pool. However, Erica was great when she took care of us at night. "
"This hotel does not pretend to be high end or luxury. Instead it’s a relaxed hotel with very attentive staff. The view of the sea in April was spectacular The beach is rather stony not sandy but the placemet our needs perfectly. We stayed there one night only to break up a tarp from Thessaloniki to Athens. "
"The reception was very friendly and the property is adorable. The town is walkable and the breakfast was great. Beautiful scenery and excellent location. "

"Super boutique hotel in the centre of Delfi. We had a great room with beautiful views down to the coast. The main Delfi sights within 10 minutes walk. Good breakfast … 10/10. Recommended
Restaurant ok. We only had one meal there … tavernas outside much better value"

"Tiny room for family of 3 but honestly didn’t matter since my husband and I spent most of our evening on the balcony overlooking the amazing view. Ice cold AC and a huge includes breakfast made this a fantastic stay. Staff was also super friendly and helpful. Delphi is truly magical! "
"we picked this hotel for location as we want to get close to the tourist attractions.
The staff facilities were excellent. The kids loved the pool and the view.
The only negative aspect was the bed. They could use an upgrade.
The breakfast was excellent, and the staff was very friendly
"
"Very cool apartment with awesome views over the village. Kids loved the "Harry Potter" bedroom. Might be tricky driving up there but there's easy private parking. The hosts were amazing, and they left us sandwiches, drinks and cake every day! The main street restaurants are just 5 minutes walking away. "
"The hotel is very conviently located but is just off the main road so it feels a little bit less busy. The staff are so friendly and very accomodating for babies, would definitely come back!"
"The view from the hotel is breathtaking. The facility is one of the older ones, but its location and views compensate for it not being a modern hotel. It is full of charm and a nice atmosphere"
