Hotels near HERBAL LIFE SHOES, Ioannina

This has to be one of the most charming hotels I have ever been to, and I have been to many all over the world. Hotel Kamares is a small boutique hotel and spa. We stayed in a suite which was so special, and cozy. It’s well appointed, clean, and charming with a Greek ethnic feel. There are no elevators to go upstairs to the rooms so if you can’t take steps this is not the hotel for you. That being said, the breakfast area is beautiful and quaint and has amazing coffee and a nice choice for breakfast. I had two wonderful massages while I was there, and the prices couldn’t be beat. I recommend the exfoliating salt and sugar massage. As far as the staff, they couldn’t be nicer. All of them were so wonderful, and all the little extra touches were so appreciated. Always giving us water and snacks for our day trips. When we return to Ioannina, I will look no further for a hotel. We will definitely stay in the Hotel Kamares again. For those who want to stay in town walking distance to the lake and many restaurants it’s the place to stay.

Hotel is located in not really interesting area, about 1km from the center. It is very loud area with frequent traffic that made it impossible for us to sleep with windows open. There is no parking around, so you need to find your own spot in streets around. Room was small, a bit too simple, but clean. Bathroom is outdated and it needs some love - especially shower curtains and toilet seat. AC in room is positioned directly above the bed, so it’s very hard to set it up to cool down the hot room with windows closed because of traffic noise, but not to have direct cold air current directed at your head. Breakfast was acceptable, mostly based on frozen pastry baked in oven. There is actually no kitchen, just one small room with ovens, fridge and sliding door hiding the only toilet in lobby/bar area. It was strange using the toilet while you feel the heat and smells from ovens just few feet away from you. Staff was friendly and helpful! If the hotel was 2 star place priced well below the price we payed for it, I wouldn’t write a review this harsh. But since I was expecting 4 star hotel, it was a disappointment.

Located in a quiet place, this hotel overlooks the lake and is in walking distance of the castle and the centre of Ioannina. Very easy parking in the surrounding area, big, clean room and bathroom. Staff was welcoming, kind and helpful and breakfast was amazing with lots of choices of both local and international taste. The rooms need some renovations.

Well I owed this one to the hotel. Stayed here even in the hard times of Covid when they created a safe shelter for all the people who still had to travel to work. Even in those hard times they maintained the level at the highest level. I have stayed in this hotel more than 40 times. Quality remains the same , service the same , breakfast still working fine for me ( they could offer a free fresh orange juice though would be highly appreciated during breakfast) . In general terms a very safe choice for ioannina just a few minutes from the city centre and in an excellent location for visiting around.

Let's start from the basics. What you see in the photos do not represent reality. Well done to the photographer who managed to hide how dilapidated the accommodation is. Specifically: The rooms too small, one on top of the other. The rooms are filthy, dust everywhere. The glass in the bathroom door has probably never been cleaned (see attached photo). Closets, dirty. Basin; Her bottom had changed color, bleach is never used, not a single day did we smell anything in bleach or anything at all that reminded us of cleanliness. The building is in a bad condition externally (damaged - paintwork) but also internally as the furniture was battered and had lost its color as well as the walls have been painted in the corridors. The aesthetics of the hotel are also miserable, curtains everywhere for no reason with strange lights that you don't see in the corridors at night. The room has too many lights, which do not turn off individually, they have a central switch. So either you will be squinted by the light or you won't be able to see in front of you. In the shower we found half-finished shampoos from the previous ones that the cleaners had not collected. 3 days in a row, they didn't put me a panosedon and I had to call them at 12 at night to bring it to me. The cleaners don't use a vacuum cleaner. Broom and farasi and holy God. On the last day I went back up to the room after breakfast and was sweating, we had to leave it wide open for 10 minutes to let it dry out in the cold. Ok I get that people sweat when they clean and do chores but not like this guys, we couldn't stop. Balcony; Ok, chairs on the balcony? ok Small table? Never, so you can't sit on a balcony if you want (if you want to sit on a balcony in the stink, cobwebs and dust that has literally never been cleaned). Let's go to breakfast: Breakfast in the basement ( -1 ) at tables for 8 people which were full of crumbs and you will necessarily have to eat breakfast with other strangers at the same table. The food stale and plastic, the only nice thing was the water. Napkins missing, only if you asked. On Monday, we went down half an hour after breakfast had ended because no one had informed us that on weekdays it ends earlier. So we left hungry. Kudos to the photographer as he has amazingly managed to camouflage this shack you call a 4 star hotel. And if they paid us, we wouldn't go again. 200 euros a night for a family of 3, I'd rather burn it than give it to them. It is worth noting that the most important problem of all of these is cleanliness. It is not clean, the cleaners do not clean, they enter your room for 5 minutes, throw 2 sheets and leave. I suggest the management to review the staff they have chosen for the cleanliness of the accommodation. 1 star because I can't put 0. Far from specific

Definitely not five star, I would say 4 star is near. Hotel is little bit outdated - i mean paint for flaking etc. Check in process was very slow and the service was good, not excellent. In pool and pool bar service was very average. Bed was great and room too! Balcony was nice but dirty and no chairs or table, why? Garden and pool and the hall of hotel was very beautiful!
