Parking, a rooftop pool and room for families
Palatino is the useful answer for visitors who want to keep a car in Zakynthos Town without giving up an evening walk to its squares. Four private parking areas remove one of the centre's persistent annoyances, while Saint Mark's and Solomos squares sit roughly five minutes away. Rooms have balconies towards the sea or Bohali hill, with triples, family rooms and junior suites providing more space than the town's tiny boutique properties. Breakfast, an all-day café and restaurant, two meeting rooms and a 24-hour reception make the hotel dependable beyond the summer season. The newer Celeste rooftop venue adds Mediterranean dining, wide views and a six-metre seasonal pool.
Treat that rooftop pool as a pleasant cooling-off spot, not a resort pool for long family days. Standard rooms are classically furnished rather than design-led, some hill views include neighbouring buildings, and the ferry port is closer by taxi than on foot with bags. The hotel's room stock has been updated at different times, so recent category photographs are important. Expedia rates Palatino 8.4 from 119 reviews, below the boutique and central-value choices in this set. It nevertheless leads its practical category: no better-rated Expedia-bookable town hotel currently combines free private parking, family room types, full dining, meeting facilities and a rooftop pool this close to the centre.
