A comfortable hotel with a fantastic view from the top floor room that looked out over the olive tree filled valley to the town of Itea on the Ionian sea.
Make sure you get a top floor room facing the valley but you need to be fit enough to carry your bags up 3 floors as there is no lift.
Breakfast was poor as a group of Spanish pilgrims who occupied most of the hotel had gotten there early and devoured 95% of the offerings which weren't replenished.
The ancient city of Delphi was a 10 minute walk and the gymnasium area below it approximately a 20 minute walk. Well worth the stroll and very rewarding, especially the Temple of Athena Pronaia , the Tholos adjacent the gymnasium.

Got into Delphi with no reservation, checked top hotel on Trip Advisor, they were full, but owner said hotel next door (Hermes) had rooms available. Peter, the owner of Hermes, was very nice to us. We stayed in Room #30, which was fantastic. The view from our balcony was this vast plain of olive trees with the sea in the distance.

The Hermes has a great location; the breakfast room plus many rooms with balconies overlook a spectacular view of the valley to the Gulf of Corinth--worth the price of the room alone. Rooms on the lower floors look out on a street and miss this view; when reserving be sure to ask for a room with the valley view. It might cost extra but it's worth it.

The room was quiet, clean and comfortable, the service was friendly, the breakfast unmemorable (but what a view from the table! who would notice the food?) Our only complaints: the shower curtain was too short (so we accidentally flooded the bathroom), and the hotel did not take credit cards.

We are not crazy about the honky-tonk atmosphere of the Delphi main streets, but the hotel is certainly convenient to many restaurants and souvenir shops. The museum and archaeological site are a bit of a walk from the town center, and from almost all the hotels. The traffic can be crazy--watch out!

We would definitely stay at the Hermes again, and would recommend this hotel to any budget-conscious traveller.

The hotel Hermes is practically dead center in the town of Delphi, right on the main road in the middle of the shopping area. You can't really walk to the archaeological site but then there aren't any hotels really within walking distance of the site (that I saw). Its about a 10 minute drive though.

The room we stayed in was on the small side, and had a balcony with a view of the surrounding mountains. The beds are small but comfortable, the hotel was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. This is not a 5 star hotel, but overall its worth the price, particularly for the location.
