Ξενοδοχεία με Agora Meteoron, Kalambaka

Very disappointed as I spent quite a bit of time looking for just the ”right” place to stay in this magical area. This was a long awaited trip extensive trip through Greece (and Istanbul) and as stated, I took great pains to find just the right establishment in each place I visited. My stay in Kalambaka was to be no different. With only 2 short days, this was to be of quality, not quantity. While still be somewhat budget conscious, I was not going to settle for a bottom of the barrel ”economy room” someplace in the area. I wanted a warm and inviting room with a nice balcony to relax, have some wine, look up at the Rocks and ponder over my experiences that day after a magical and spiritual day of exploring the Monasteries. After searching and reviewing any hotels, bnb's (what have you), many the same price range, if not less, I landed on Toti. Close to everything (shops, town life, markets, scooter rental, and train station), but not ”right in the middle” of it all where it wouldn't be quite as peaceful. Had simple, but warm and inviting decor and an inviting and comfortable balcony, just as I wanted (...or so it was advertised). As I have learned over the years, I had contacted the establishment to confirm the room I was booking; size, style, amenities, balcony, view etc. Upon receiving their reply email, informing me there was no coffee pot/kettle, so I should buy breakfast (???), did have a nice balcony with meteora view, as well as advising me to look at the pictures of the room they had posted, as to show what to expect for the room I was booking. With that confirmation I went through with the booking. When I arrived and shown to the room I was in awe (and not in a good way), so much so I expressed as such pretty much the minute I stepped into the room. I was simply told it had what I booked (??). When I saw the ”balcony” I was even more so taken aback. It had a metal security door on a side wall that opened up into a ”space” that was more of an outdoor landing than a balcony. No more than 5x3 feet, a metal corrugated partition, and one plastic yard chair squeezed in. There wasn't even room for a table so they had a ”tray table” attached to the railing. While it did have a view of the Rocks, it was far from comfortable and relaxing as I had to squeeze around the door just to be able to get to the chair to sit down. Forget about being able to sit back and relax, as the only way I was able to stretch my legs was to shimmy the chair out a bit to be able to close the door (leaving me outside); which I was afraid to do without leaving a wedge in the door jamb for fear of getting locked out on said ”balcony”. (as the door, handle, lock etc were some subpar ”storage unit” looking type deal). So, after a quick debate with myself to address this with management in attempt to resolve and remedy, I didnt want to waste the minimal time I had dealing with this bs. I dropped of my bags and went to explore. Upon my late evening return, after an AMAZI

This guest house is an absolute gem. Elena is a phenomenal host. She upgraded us to the junior suite which has one of the best views in the entire world! The location can't be beat. Meteora is a very special place in the world that everyone should experience in their life. Thank you very much for all the hospitality. We will absolutely recommend it to all of our friends and family.

Not on the central street of Karambaka, but Karambaka is small and safe, so you can just look at local life and environment when you walk for a walk. It is equivalent to a small town in China's fourth-tier places, with simple folk customs and a safe and happy life. The hotel is well decorated, that is, the room has nothing but the bed. It is estimated that the people who go there will go to the abbey for one night. I found a kettle in the corridor (Westerners rarely use it). It seems that we put it there after we checked in. It shows that the store knows the needs of the Oriental people very well. The charging conversion head is forgotten in Athens. The front desk borrowed one. At first glance, it is pulled down by Chinese tourists (because it is a Chinese three plugs). The scenery around the store is OK. A well-regulated shop. The restaurant recommended by the boss is great.

Stayed 2 nights in this great little hotel at the base of meteora. The rooms are movie themed and offer a balcony. The staff are amazing and very helpful. The included breakfast is very good. Has a nice pool and patio. I would definitely stay here again.

We stayed in this place when we were in Meteora. Lovely place, great location, beautiful view and great service. Owners Nico and Alberta were hospitable and helpful. Their tips on where to go and where to eat was very helpful. The room we had was spacious and clean. The bathroom size was okay, the water pressure strong and hot water always available. The bed was big and comfortable. Our stay in this place was very nice. I highly recommend this place.

Hotel Kastraki has the old charm. We had a nice and comfortable stay there. The staff gave us Meteora map and described each monastery and viewpoint, how to get there, etc. Everybody at Hotel Kastraki were friendly and always smiling. We booked a triple room. It’s got a balcony. The bed was comfortable. Towels and pillows were fresh and clean all the time. The bathroom is a little bit old and needing an upgrade though. I have never seen a hotel where floor is carefully washed each time. The cleaning lady did an amazing job. My husband walked with white socks in the hotel room, bathroom and balcony and socks had no trace of dirt at all, still very white. The breakfast was good. Everything we needed to start the day. We’re satisfied. There’s free parking in front of the hotel.

The ****nis Guesthouse was one of the best choices we made in regards to location, cleanliness and comfort. From the moment we arrived and was greeted by Kostas our two night stay was a delight. The food served was simple, family comfort food. Our sleep was comfortable knowing all sheets and towels felt and smelt clean. The views from the balcony's overlooking the olive trees and the surrounding country side helped us slip into a relaxed frame of mind. The location to the monasteries was easy and allowed us to take our time and enjoy the breathtaking scenery. Panos and Kostas and their family were amazing hosts. They all made our stay very enjoyable and we loved every minute of it. Our two young girls would have stayed on for much longer if possible. We would like to thank the ****nis family very much for such a lovely, relaxing snd enjoyable stay. Hope to see you all again sometime.

I like the retro hotel very much. From the moment I entered the hotel, the service of the hotel is exactly as seen in the British movies. The environment inside and outside the hotel is very good, the door is simple and elegant, and the outside is picturesque. The breakfast dining environment is very good, the food is very rich, the service staff is also attentive and elegant, the entire dining environment is quite satisfactory.

The hotel is large in scale. Although it is newly renovated, it also has a sense of history. I found an old telephone booth in the lobby on the first floor. The rooms and toilets are very large and very clean. When I checked in, I found that the hotel also thoughtfully gave away a plate of fruits and a chocolate at the head of each bed, which is not a treat in other hotels. The only regret is that the location of the hotel is still a little away from the town. It is still not convenient if you walk to eat. If you have a car, it will be fine. You didn't take Ola very close to the big eye. The next morning, it was less than 15 minutes by car to reach the attraction, which was very convenient.
