Dave by the Beach Loutraki
A big buffet breakfast a few steps from the pebbles
About this hotel
The balconies here look over the town rather than the gulf, and the hotel compensates by putting its energy into the breakfast and the sun terrace instead. That buffet runs to local specialities, warm dishes, fresh pastries, pancakes, cheese, fruit and juice, with a child-friendly spread alongside, which is why families keep returning. Rooms are air conditioned with private bathrooms, tea and coffee makers and TVs, and the lift, concierge service and daily housekeeping keep the operation smooth. Loutraki Beach is a few steps from the door, Loutraki Thermal Spa under a kilometre, Casino Loutraki and the Corinth Canal both nearby, and Athens airport 109 kilometres east. The outdoor seating area doubles as the spot where most guests plan the day over a second coffee.
- Large daily buffet breakfast
- Sun terrace and outdoor seating
- Family rooms with balconies
- Lift and concierge service
Our take
An 8.7 score across 704 reviews makes this one of the safer bookings in town, and couples rate the location 9.1. The breakfast and the concierge lift it above similarly placed neighbours. Travellers who want to open the curtains onto the sea should book on the front instead, since the city-view rooms here are the honest description rather than an undersell.
- ✓Plan a late breakfast and a late lunch, as the buffet here is substantial enough to skip a meal.
- ✓Ask the concierge about bus times to Corinth before hiring a car for a single day trip.
- ✓Use the sun terrace in the afternoon, since the rooms face the town rather than the water.
Why we love it
- A buffet breakfast with pancakes and local dishes

The sun terrace and outdoor seating area are on site, with a lift and a concierge service, and the daily buffet breakfast covers local specialities, warm dishes, pastries and pancakes.
