Hotels near Monastère, 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

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.

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.

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 has staff that is friendly, conscientious and professional. Everyone went out of there way to make us feel welcome and special. I highly recommend this hotel for an looking to stay in Kalimbaka. The rooms are clean and have beautiful views. The pool has excellent service, food and 365 degree views. I will be staying here again and recommending it to friends and family going to Northern Greece.

The hotel at the foot of the mountain city, the staff was very warm, temporarily set a night, the scenery was beautiful, many stars lived, there was no elevator, to carry the box upstairs, the bathroom shower room was half glass fence, take a bath bathroom everywhere Water, breakfast is OK.

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 located in a quiet mountain range, the whole hotel is full of art, breakfast is rich, the room is fully equipped. The hotel is a little far from the town of Karambaka and requires a taxi. The hotel can help guests call a car and help them contact the car and tour guide to Medeola Abbey.

The hotel is generally old, the appearance is quite grand, the room area is OK, there is a bathtub, the sink is large, but the whole room is dark, there is a balcony facing the scenic spot but the angle is general, the hotel has a buffet dinner, expensive and low cost performance, there are not many varieties of breakfast, the room does not have a kettle, There are disposable slippers but no dental appliances. The hotel is about one kilometer from the town center, and it has to go in through a path and there is a parking lot. If you have the opportunity to revisit Meteorra, choose a new 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.
