Seaside Hotel
Direct beachfront access with a terrace over the gulf
About this hotel
The terrace is the reason this address works: it sits directly above the pebbles with the gulf opening south-west, and the bar keeps it in use from mid-morning until the light goes. Beachfront access is genuine rather than nominal, so a swim needs no road crossing and no walk along the promenade. Rooms are air-conditioned with balconies and private bathrooms, and the lift, 24-hour front desk and full-day security give the building a more managed feel than its size suggests. Loutraki Thermal Spa is under a kilometre inland, Casino Loutraki is a seventeen-minute walk along the front, and the Corinth Canal is six kilometres south towards Isthmia. Pets are welcome, which is rarer than it sounds on this stretch of seafront.
- Direct beachfront access
- Sea-view terrace and bar
- Air-conditioned rooms with balconies
- 24-hour front desk
Our take
This is a beachfront position at a fair price, and couples rate the location 9.6 even though the overall score sits at 7.6 across 36 reviews, which points to rooms that trail the setting. Travellers who plan to be outside all day will barely notice. Anyone who wants a polished room, a pool or a quiet night away from the seafront should spend more or move a street back from the water.
- ✓Ask for a room with a sea-facing balcony, since the terrace view is the whole point of staying here.
- ✓Walk the seventeen minutes to Casino Loutraki along the promenade rather than driving and parking in the centre.
- ✓Use the terrace bar in the late afternoon, when the glare drops off the water and the tables free up.
Why we love it

Why guests love itI would recommend Seaside Hotel to families who want the beach right outside the door and plan to spend their days on it. The three-star hotel has direct beachfront access and a terrace facing the sea, and rooms have air conditioning, balconies, private bathrooms and flat-screen TVs. A lift and a 24-hour front desk help with luggage and late arrivals, and Casino Loutraki is a seventeen-minute walk. A rating of 7.6 from 36 reviews suggests the rooms are modest.
