Hotels Near Monastère in Kalambaka

This place wasn’t my cup of tea. It was old, but not the cute vintage kind. We had 3 rooms so I will be mentioning things from all 3. More like everything was molding and there were centuries of dirt crusted on. The washrooms (W.C) were dirty. The doorway had what looks like mold and water damage. Multiple places were rusted, including the shower. The showers floor was dirty and honestly very nasty. Another rooms sink faucet was terrible. The tiniest bit up would spray water everywhere. Imagine an umbrella where the water is going everywhere but down the drain. My room had 3 people in it, the extra bed that they put in was terrible. It was too flimsy and soft, I felt like I was going to break it. There isn’t a kettle in the room. The wifi barely worked, (especially at night) it was slow and I was lucky if anything loaded. The lobby was nice though. The washroom outside the room was straight up creepy. You have to go down the stairs in the lobby. There were creepy unlit hallways and do not enter signs. The lights took a long time to turn on and kept turning off while I was in it. The main reason I’m giving this place two stars is because they had free breakfast which was still okay. They didn’t have pancakes. Two stars.

This hotel is very close to the bus stop, 150 meters walk away, very close to the shops and restaurants, the location is good, the hotel has two sides, we can see the mountains in the direction where we are staying, and we can see the small buildings in the lower part, which is very good. The front desk staff will introduce you to the bus and church schedules when checking in, but they didn't give specific topographical maps. I live in a five-star hotel in China and there is some difference in Europe. European hotels generally do not provide guests with toiletries. This hotel is equipped with towels and bath towels, large bottles of hand sanitizer, and portable shampoo and shower gel. Nothing else. The hair dryer in the room I lived in was broken, and the Wi-Fi basically couldn't be used. Maybe it was because there were too many people using it. First of all, our main concern with children is hygiene and breakfast. This hotel has a good environment. Clean towels and bath towels are placed outside for guests to use in the stairwell. I first saw the hair on the towel when I entered the room... I took a coffee cup on the cup holder during breakfast, and saw a cup stained with water and lipstick. Obviously, it was manually cleaned without being wiped and disinfected. Breakfast was okay. It's just that when we first checked in, there were two groups staying in. After the group left, the specifications were reduced, the nuts were cancelled, and the eggs were changed from white eggs with red stamps to ordinary red eggs. The difference is obvious. I asked a friend for Waiter for a cup of coffee and asked for espresso without sugar. He brought it and said that two euros are equivalent to 16 RMB. Hope the above is helpful to everyone.

That small town is just one main street and at one end of the main street, but I suggest that I wish the other end to be closer to the scenic spot, especially if you don’t have a rental car. Others are quite satisfactory.

The location is very good. The hotel is really clean. The elevator was a bit obscured at first. The balcony of the room we stayed in was super long. I was very satisfied with everything else. The only thing was that the woman at the front desk never saw a smiling face from the time she entered to the time she checked out. When we arrived in the car They didn't come out to greet us at the hotel entrance to help carry our luggage (this is something we haven't encountered in many hotels this time), and the reception at the front desk was not satisfactory.

The hotel is just beside the train station and it is time to cross the railway after getting off the train. Otherwise it is difficult to find. Hotel service is very good, can help you call a taxi on Meyola, like a chartered car, 20 euros an hour, very convenient. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, we called a taxi on Meilong Aola. At this time, there were very few people, and Meilong Aola was beautiful in the sunset! It takes 3 hours and 60 Euros for the car, which is very valuable.

Well, what a lovely place this is! We were taken on a trip by some very kind friends, to experience the beauty and magic of Meteora, and Oikia is where we stayed. Anna-Maria looked after us, and everyone else staying there, so very well. Her English is perfect and she was knowledgeable with all the information you need to visit the monasteries. Our room was lovely - clean and bright, large, with a comfortable bed, lush shower, a private balcony that looked up ant the great rocks, a large and comfortable shared balcony where we could sit and relax, and then a terrific breakfast for €10 each. Loved it all. We will most definitely stay there next time we visit Meteora!

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 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.

We spent 3 nights - couple and a 10 Yr old - with the focus on visiting Meteora. We nicknamed it our James Bond hotel as that is what it looks like from a distance! View, pool and restaurant all very modern, clean and superb. Lots of people come for a day visit to use the pool (free bottles of water given) and even more for sunset cocktails. Quite a few instagrammers posing but that's fine. We stayed for dinner 2 nights. Rare for us but we were so comfortable and relaxed and our daughter loved the spaghetti with red sauce and I had the risotto both times, it was so delicious. Wine is divine too. Service a little slow but we were in no rush and all the staff were super lovely. Breakfast is great with lots of Greek delicacies. I loved my cafe freddo every morning! Only 20 min drive to the ecstatically amazing Meteora. Trikala is 10 min drive but bear in mind shops shut in the afternoon and i recommend google mapping car parks as street parking is hard to find. Lots more restaurants and cafes to choose from The only minus is that the rooms need an upgrade in comparison to the contemporary look of the rest of the hotel. Clean, functional but business like and could just do with some brightness. Definetley recommend as best hotel in the area for visiting Meteora.
