Marie Palace

Conveniently located near the sea and port, this accommodation provides spacious rooms with fridge, friendly multilingual staff, and a pleasant breakfast. However, some guests found the room slightly noisy.

I choose the Marie Palace because of its close proximity to the port as I had an early ferry going to Kefalonia the next day. I didn't really bother looking into reviews or anything else and basically just booked blindly. I arrived to Patra by public bus (KTEL) late in the night and the hotel was less than 5 minutes walk away which was a relief as I was carrying quite a bit of luggage with me. Reception is 24hrs so there was a very nice man who greeted me upon my arrival. I asked about gyms that would be open and there are actually 2 right around the corner from the hotel which is great if you're the type that wants to get some excercise in. Opposite from the seaside a few streets up from the hotel is the center of town where you'll find many bars, coffee shops, places to eat and 24hr kiosk. I'm not sure if there is an extra charge for breakfast or if it was included but I was offered breakfast and even though I generally don't eat breakfast I had a look. Very nice breakfast and a nice sitting area to have it in too. The rooms were very clean and spacious enough with a television and fridge. Upon check out the lady in the morning was very nice and helpful. The ferry port for the Greek Ionian islands and for the Italian destinations are also less than a 5 minute walk away. Definitely going back to these Greek islands and when I do I'll definitely stay at the Hotel Marie Palace. Thank you all for a pleasant stay!
