Hotel in zona Monastero Aghia Triada, 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

La mia famiglia ed io,in arrivo da Atene,abbiamo prenotato due camere comunicanti in questo hotel,per due notti,come appoggio per la visita delle Meteore. Purtroppo,le nostre considerazioni sono negative su ogni fronte. Accoglienza fredda e scarna. Ambienti comuni rinnovati non proprio recentemente,ma diciamo,comunque,accettabili anche se privi di accoglienza e calore. La piscina non è’ stata da noi utilizzata.Quindi,non posso esprimere un parere. Per quanto riguarda le camere le definirei di una tristezza assoluta. Spazi piccoli ed angusti,mobili vetusti e trasandati.Il livello massimo di decadimento concerne il letto che era stato così tanto usato da essere sfondato e con doghe che scricchiolavano.Senza parlare della qualità delle lenzuola e delle spugne in bagno. In bagno abbiamo trovato qualche capello. Quindi,la pulizia risultava anche approssimativa. Noi abbiamo consumato una cena e una colazione e che dire il cibo era da mensa. Per nostra figlia celiaca avevano a disposizione pane e pasta,ma nulla in più. Presi dalla disperazione trascorsa la prima notte,abbiamo preso tutti i bagagli,benché ci avessero già fatto pagare due notti,e ci siamo trasferiti in una graziosa e accogliente e soprattutto pulitissima guest-house. A favore del responsabile c’è da dire che ci ha offerto la cena della sera precedente. In conclusione,direi che si trattava di un hotel di media qualità che,però’,negli anni,e’ stato solo sfruttato senza fare alcuna miglioria delle camere. Per noi sconsigliatissimo.

Modern, spacious beautiful apartment in a very central location. The design of the apartment was beautiful and it was well equipped. Very clean on arrival with useful maps and a book on the area. The location is great close to all of the you may need.

Pur essendo un hotel che opera in particolare per le comitive è decisamente di buon livello. Stanze spaziose, con arredamento essenziale, però pratico, letto molto comodo e bagno molto valido. La colazione a buffet è sufficientemente dotata per il salato, poco per il dolce. La ritengo appena adatta ad un 4 stelle. Il meglio è la posizione, impeccabile per la visita delle Meteore.

The hotel is really nice. When you walk in the main entrance it looks very good. The lady on the reception was a nice lady and extremely helpful. The room was nicely done up. Then we noticed no kettle!! Me thinking it was an oversize asked her where it was and was told they don't have them. But she will make us cups of hot water if we need it. The bathroom was small with a half bath tub but it was really cold in there. The bedroom was very warm which was nice as it was freezing out there. Don't bother with the breakfast. It felt the hotel mainly geared for coach parties

I stayed at this hotel because the tour I got booked it , I did not choose it myself. I have mixed feelings . On the one hanc, I was expecting something worse maybe, the service and the food was very good, the hotel has a nice swimming pool. On the other hand, the holel was clean but some things were broken, the wifi did not work... the location is not the best.... So some things were better than I expected and some things worse.

The hotel is almost at the highest location among the hotels in Kalabaka, which a bit far from the town, it makes the environment be quiet and cozy, relaxing. But no worries, you can still access to town, it took around 5 mins travelling time by car. For the room, nice view from balcony, and the furniture is in good condition and looks new. The staff is helpful and caring, they helped for taking baggage to the second floor as no lift there, they also provided us some decorations and refreshments as it’s our honeymoon trip. The breakfast is good and delicious, and most of them is homemade food.

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

Non cinque stelle esattamente !!! La colazione è così autosufficiente , ma il personale è molto amichevole Non c'è tè nella stanza, dopo le 23:00 tè di caffè non fa Visita di sauna o Ham , registrando e non oltre mezz'ora - a 7 euro La piscina da visitare - 13 euro - non ha senso per 5* Il posto più tardi alle 00:00, sembra che la guardia abbia preso il passaporto perché non è in grado di controllare la prenotazione. Hotel come stazione per grandi gruppi per una notte.In generale, pensate che ci siano hotel privati a Meteor dove saranno molto più ospiti di qui to staff , there are no claims at all Modalità con interruzioni - con 6 punti su 10 Mi scuso per la revisione, poiché l'operatore turistico ha fornito una valutazione oggettiva

Hotel comodo per visitare meteore provvisto di parcheggio. Arredamento un po’ retro’ con un vago ricordo turco. Dispone di piscina e lettini con ombrelloni. In dotazione teli per piscina. Camere grandi e ampio bagno con vasca. Accessori toilet compresi accappatoio e ciabattine. Balcone grande. Ampio parco esterno. Colazione ottima e abbondante. Buona anche cena a buffet a 18 euro se una sera non avete voglia di uscire fuori. Ottimo gelato artigianale! Due gusti euro 4.50. Ampi spazi sale. Personale gentile e professionale. Consigliato!
