3-Star Hotels in Kastraki

During DANA Daniel, we were en route through Greece and our destination was Meteora. The weather conditions to reach our destination forced us to make a detour of approximately 500 km, so we were delayed about 8 hours. We arrived at the hotel very tired and the attention we received was exquisite. I explain this to justify my opinion, which may be a bit subjective, even though I write it a month after the fact. The rooms are correct, the breakfast abundant and varied, and the reception staff fantastic. Their help when returning to Athens allowed us to shorten the return trip by more than 4 hours. I think it is a good hotel to get closer to appreciating the beauty of Meteora.

Good choice in Kastraki as close to the monasteries but not crazy busy. The hotel is small and friendly. We had a reasonably large room with a small balcony and decent bathroom. It was clean and comfortable. The staff were helpful. Breakfast was very good with superb coffee and local produce, including fresh pastries. Enough to fuel the walk up the steps to the monasteries and the viewpoints. We stayed for 3 nights and took our time visiting 4 of the monasteries. Most guests seemed to stay only 1 night here. The hotel restaurant, Senses, is more pan-European than the tavernas of the village and made a nice change for dinner. We also had a good quality lunch and pre-dinner cocktails. We appreciated the free gift of wine and the convenience of a fridge and coffee/tea making facilities. Can recommend this hotel and it was a relaxing, convenient place to stay.

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.

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. For us this was a disappointment. On the plus side this hotel is very close to the Meteora monasteries and also a 5 minute walk from the centre of Kastraki. On the pictures this hotel looks great but in real it’s very basic. We booked a Meteora view room with it’s own balcony overlooking the rocks but the only thing we were able to see were very high trees (see pictures). The room itself was small en very basic also. The bathroom was extremely small (see picture). The remote control of the air-conditioning was broken so we changed it with the one from the next door room which worked better. The breakfast offered in the hallway was very poor. Terrible coffee, some slices of bread with some cheese and sausage. The staff was OK but not very friendly or helpful. There was no information available about the Meteora monasteries. No maps, no information, nothing. This was very disappointing for an hotel which main business is hosting visitors from all over the world who are here for visiting these monasteries. This hotel was not worth the money we paid for the room (about 95 Euro per night).

I would recommend this place very much! It is immaculate as far as the cleanliness is concerned. The views are astonishing and the owner is very kind and nice and has always a smile on her face. Her husband is also very nice. They prepare your food (be it breakfast or lunch, for instance) precisely when you are about to have it. The food is home-made and delicious. So is the bread. ;) Besides, it is very clear the monasteries. A very big thank you from Northern Spain! :)

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.
