Cari Rumah tamu di Kalabaka

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

The hotel exterior looks like an old monastery and overall looks amazing and clean. It is located not far from the center of Kalampaka and only some kilometers away from Meteora. Swimming pool is a great addition but unfortunately not able to use due the bad weather conditions. Staff is very kind and helpfull always smiley and friendly. The room that we had, had balcony with view to the Meteora. It was very warm and clean. New and well decorated with comfortable bed. The only negative was the bathroom and especially the shower which looked old and not well preserved. Also the amount of amenities was not enough for two persons. Wi-fi was working properly everywhere in the hotel. Breakfast was overall great in the lobby area with view to the pool. Personal opinion is that a local addition would make it excellent and also an addition of second type of cheese and some turkey and bacon. Our experience was great and we hope that we can visited again in the near future. It is highly recommended

We stayed here overnight on our road trip back from Skiathos to the UK after passing through Meteora several weeks before. The views are amazing from the shared balcony/patio area at the front of the property and the owners are super helpful when recommending places to go nearby and how to access the monasteries etc. An easy walk down into the main town with its many bars and restaurants and a short drive to access the bigger monasteries perched atop the rocks. Wow The room was large and clean and had everything we needed included a small fridge and large bathroom with hot power shower. Would definitely recommend

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.
