Our take
Delfini sits at 102 Iroon Polytechniou, the seafront road north of central Patras, with the shore of the Gulf of Patras next to it and the city centre about 2 km away. The port is 5 to 6 km south, a 7 to 10 minute drive, which is the real reason to stay here: free on-site parking and an easy run to an Adriatic or Ionian ferry. It scores 7.9 from 1,541 reviews, a respectable score for a plain two-star with a snack bar, a lounge and a 24-hour front desk. I would use it for one night between the road and a ferry, not for a holiday.
- ✓Ask for a room facing the gulf: only some rooms have the sea view, and the others look onto the town side.
- ✓Allow 7 to 10 minutes by car to the port of Patras, about 5.5 km south, and keep the free on-site parking in mind if you arrive the night before an early sailing.
- ✓The 24-hour front desk helps with late arrivals off the motorway or an evening ferry.

Why guests love itDelfini can work for a family as a stopover between the motorway and a ferry, not as a place to spend several days. The shore is next to the hotel and some rooms look over the Gulf of Patras, which children enjoy at breakfast, and free parking means unloading at the door. Facilities are basic: a snack bar, a shared lounge and a 24-hour desk, with no pool or play area. The centre of Patras is about 2 km away, so evenings out mean the car or a taxi. For one night before an early ferry, it does the job.
