Delfinia Hotel & Bungalows

My daughter and I have just spent a glorious week at the Delfinia. It was heavenly. Wonderful location, stunning views and fantastic people! Special thanks to the WONDERFUL two Dora's and lovely Kristina (soon to be heading off on her own adventure in Melbourne). We loved our week with you all in beautiful Molyvos and hope to return next year. Sheila and Ruby xxxx

I stayed here for a week in September 2023. It's over an hour from the airport in a hire car and there's a decent free car park available at the front of the hotel. The staff here are mostly friendly and helpful. The hotel is generally clean and in a great location. Molyvos is not too far to walk to, assuming reasonable mobility, or a short drive. It's a beautiful place, with little streets and a castle to explore, as well as the coastline bars and restaurants. The pool area is pleasant enough, with a great view of the town and castle. I had a pleasant beer and Greek salad here. There's a rough, pebble and grit beach if you prefer and the far end of the beach is very liberated and used by naturists to get their all over tans. Breakfast was a bit limited in terms of variety and quality but you'll not go hungry. The views from the breakfast balcony are lovely. The room was a different story. The rooms are very dated. The hotel was built in the 60/70's and many of it's original features are still there today. Some of the nostalgia is charming but there's those that would want to update. There's a radio in the drawer for example. Remember the headboard or drawer radios from the 70's? I never expected to be in this time warp but there I was. The beds were low and not particularly comfortable. The bedding was not changed during my time there and nor were the towels. I started with two towel and when I left one in the shower tray for changing, that was it gone. It was not replaced. There are readers that might be thinking that they would just go and sort it out with reception but I wanted to see what happens in order to get a better idea of what the hotel is really like. The room and bathroom were not cleaned properly and I realised that one of the cleaners was looking in the wardrobe each day. I can't say anything was taken but it's intrusive. The shower handle would not stay on the wall clip and I mastered the art of holding the shower head whilst I had a one handed wash. Soap and shower gel is supplied in dispensers but take your own. Take your own kettle and coffee/tea too as you get none in the room. There is a fridge and television if you need them, along with a free safe in the wardrobe. I doubt I'll go back to Lesbos but there's some lovely places and people here. This hotel could be so much better but as it is, it's good value for money if you can manage the shortcomings. The location is the main attraction.

All in all a nice stay. But the rooms need an serious update. Especially the beds. No watercooker in the room (bungalow) and it was not aviable on request. The pool taverna is overpriced compared to food prices in Molyvos. Hotel staff is very friendly, but it is clear that the entire hotel lacks resources. This hotel has lost it’s standard over the years and we are sure that we will choose another hotel on our next visit to Molyvos.

Pleasant stay in May 2023. We had a nice sea view Comprehensive breakfast buffet. Room was quite comfortable. Poolside taverna is great for lunch and Dora and Elena are lovely. (Wifi in the room is a bit flaky).

Great hotel. Staff is so friendly, helpful and nice. 10 minutes by walking to Molyvos center. Safe and quiet environment. I would certainly stay here again if I visit Lesvos Island.

Good value for the price. Great location, rich breakfast ana nice pool area.

The hotel is situated in an amazing location in a very green estate. It is peaceful, has its own very long beach, a beautiful swimming pool, sports facilities and the friendliest, most polite and helpful personnel. Having a cocktail with the Molyvos castle as a view is the best one can wish. Molyvos village is within walking distance and offers everything from delicious greek food to evening entertainment, various cultural events in the castle, art exhibitions and relaxed walks in the beautiful nature. I highly recommend it. I can go there every year for my holiday and will never get bored.

The room was clean but very very old. The beds were super uncomfortable. No bed madresses so the bedsprings hurts your back. There were also mold in the bathroom and on the ceiling in the hallway. The breakfast was superb, but the food at the pool restaurant was horrible. I ordered pork souvlaki and it was pink/red in the middle. There was also this elderly man around 50 who was very rude. Always complaining about how we didn't had any small coins and only 20 euro bills. But the view is fantastic, they really need to do something about the mold and the beds and remake the rooms.

Location! Overlooking the long beach and many rooms are sea facing with great views. Breakfast on the terrace is a great way to start the day. Beach allows easy access to the sea and sun beds are all free to use. Staff are all great and so helpful. Dora, Elena in the pool and restaurant areas and all the reception staff and management are so helpful. The pool and poolside taverna area is very pleasant and the food on offer is delicious, good value and freshly prepared. Try the daily specials. You won’t be disappointed. All in all, a great value and enjoyable stay.
