Hotel in zona Averoff Gallery, Metsovo

We had two superior rooms for one night in the week leading to Chris**as. It was all very lovely, comfortable, stylish and representative of the area without the over-the-top heavy/wooden look that is so traditional for Metsovo and done to excess elsewhere. The rooms were spacious and had a little balcony with only a side view unfortunately. That, and the fact that some very noisy residents kept us awake way past midnight (indicating that the walls are rather thin), are my only criticisms. The bathrooms were really spacious and the products Caudalie (with minimal plastic packaging). The breakfast was exceptional, with great variety and high quality products, made in situ or sourced by local farmers and their own cheese making business. A great way to start your evening is by having a drink at the cosy bar serving wines and tsipouro from the hotel vineyard. We also visited the shop on the premises and were given a little (20’) tour of the winery. The prices at the shop are excellent, at a small discount. (The same wine that was around €25 in the shop was being sold for €10 more in one of the local produce shops in the town square.) The Romanian lady at reception was very helpful and pleasant, as was all the other staff we came across. All in all, I would definitely recommend this hotel and hope to return soon ourselves.

Piuttosto vicino al centrodi Ioannina (cittadina molto carina con un bel centro pedonale) questo hotel è stata la nostra penultima tappa. Hotel molto grande con una bellissima hall ,piscina e spa che comunque non abbiamo caduto il tempo di utilizzare. Le camere molto ampie e pulite,personale professionale. Colazione ottima e varia cena al buffet discreta ...in media con gli altri hotel del tour Nota negativa:essendo sotto le vacanze di Pasqua l'hotel era pieno di ragazzi/e piuttosto rumorosi che creavano confusione e scompiglio.

Ας ξεκινήσουμε από τα βασικά. Αυτά που βλέπετε στις φωτογραφίες δεν αντιπροσωπεύουν την πραγματικότητα. Χίλια μπράβο στον φωτογράφο που κατάφερε και έκρυψε το πόσο ερείπιο είναι το κατάλυμα. Συγκεκριμένα: Τα δωμάτια υπερβολικά μικρά, ο ένας πάνω στον άλλον. Τα δωμάτια πενταβρώμικα, σκόνη παντού. Το τζάμι της πόρτας του μπάνιου πιθανώς να μην έχει καθαριστεί ποτέ ( βλέπε συννημένη φωτογραφία ). Ντουλάπες, πενταβρώμικες. Λεκάνη; Είχε αλλάξει χρώμα ο πάτος της, χλωρίνη δεν χρησιμοποιείται ποτέ, ούτε μία μέρα δεν μυρίσαμε κάτι σε χλωρίνη ή κάτι τέλος πάντων που να θυμίζει καθαριότητα. Το κτίριο σε άθλια κατάσταση εξωτερικά ( φθορές - βαψίματα ) αλλά και εσωτερικά καθώς τα έπιπλα ήταν χτυπημένα και είχαν χάσει το χρώμα τους όπως και οι τοιχοι έχουν ξεβάψει στους διαδρόμους. Η αισθητική του ξενοδοχείου επίσης άθλια, παντού κουρτίνες χωρίς λόγο με περίεργα φώτα που δεν βλέπεις το βράδυ στους διαδρόμους. Το δωμάτιο διαθέτει πάρα πολλά φώτα, τα οποία δεν κλείνουν ξεχωριστά, έχουν έναν κεντρικό διακόπτη. Οπότε είτε θα στραβώνεσαι από το φώς είτε δεν θα βλέπεις μπροστά σου. Στην ντουζιέρα βρήκαμε μισοτελειωμένα σαμπουάν από τους προηγούμενους που οι καθαρίστριες δεν είχαν μαζέψει. 3 συνεχόμενες ημέρες, δεν μου έβαζαν πανοσέντονο και έπρεπε να τους παίρνω τηλέφωνο στις 12 το βράδυ να μου φέρουν. Οι καθαρίστριες δεν χρησιμοποιούν ηλεκτρική σκούπα. Σκούπα και φαράσι και άγιος ο Θεος. Την τελευταία μέρα ανέβηκα πίσω στο δωμάτιο μετά το πρωινό και έζεχνε ιδρωτίλα, αναγκαστικά αφήσαμε 10 λεπτά ορθάνοιχτα για να ξεμυρίσει μέσα στο κρύο. Οκ καταλαβαίνω οτι οι άνθρωποι ιδρώνουν όταν καθαρίζουν και κάνουν δουλειές αλλά όχι και έτσι βρε παιδιά, δεν μπορούσαμε να σταθούμε. Μπαλκόνι; Οκ, καρεκλάκια στο μπαλκόνι; Οκ. Τραπεζάκι; Ποτέ, οπότε μπαλκόνι δεν μπορείς να κάτσεις και να θέλεις ( αν θες να κάτσεις σε μπαλκόνι μέσα στην βρώμα, ιστούς αράχνης και σκόνη που δεν έιχε καθαριστεί κυριολεκτικά ποτέ ). Πάμε στο πρωινό: Πρωινό στο υπόγειο ( -1 ) σε τραπέζια 8 ατόμων τα οποία ήταν γεμάτα ψίχουλα και αναγκαστικά θα πρέπει να φάς και με άλλους αγνώστους πρωινό στο ίδιο τραπέζι. Τα φαγητά μπαγιάτικα και πλαστικά, το μόνο ωραίο ήταν το νερό. Χαρτοπετσέτες άφαντες, μόνο αν ζήταγες. Τη Δευτέρα δε, κατεβήκαμε μισή ώρα αφού είχε τελειώσει το πρωινό επειδή κανείς δεν μας είχε ενημερώσει πως τις καθημερινές τελειώνει πιο νωρίς. Φύγαμε και νηστικοί οπότε. Πολλά συγχαρητήρια στον φωτογράφο καθώς κατάφερε εκπληκτικά να καμουφλάρει αυτήν την τρώγλη που αποκαλείτε ξενοδοχείο 4 αστέρων. Και να μας πλήρωναν δεν θα ξαναπηγαίναμε. 200 ευρώ το βράδυ για οικογένεια 3 ατόμων, καλύτερα να τα έκαιγα παρά να τα έδινα σε αυτούς. Αξίζει να σημειωθεί πως το σημαντικότερο πρόβλημα από όλα αυτά είναι η καθαριότητα. Δεν είναι καθαρό, οι καθαρίστριες δεν καθαρίζουν, μπαίνουν 5 λεπτά στο δωμάτιο σου πετάνε 2 σεντόνια και φεύγουν. Προτείνω στη διεύθυνση να αναθεωρήσει το προσωπικό που έχει επιλέξει για την καθαριότητα του καταλύματος. 1 Αστέρι γιατι δεν μπορώ να βάλω 0. Μακριά από το συγκεκριμένο

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.

We had a lovely stay at the hotel. Location is near the monasteries that we plan to visit. Our room has a balcony and a nice view. There's also a lift in the building, so we don't gave to climb the stairs with heavy luggage. It has a wide variety of breakfast spread. We arrived earlier than check in time, around 2pm, there's no one at the reception. We went back after lunch and were able to check in. Maybe we should have informed them that we are arriving earlier than 3pm.

Arrivare stanchi e accaldati e scoprire con sorpresa che ti offrono subito dell'acqua fresca col limone e un asciuganamo umido per rinfrescarti, dopo essere stati in Albania, ti pare di essere arrivato in un altro mondo. Troppo bravi, troppo gentili, troppo professionali e anche troppo economici. Peccato che noi avevamo troppo poco tempo.

Well, perhaps I'm not fair using the word ”they” in the title, since every single member of the hotel stuff, have been extremely polite. The girls in the spa, the technician, the receptionists, everybody: They have been amazing. So, the destruction, was one man's work only: the hotel owner's, himself. And of course, his guidelines-directions, that the hotel is following, should be held responsible also. I will try to be comprehensive, because if I right in detail everything that happened, I will not be over writing until...tomorrow. I had booked an executive suite for me and my wife for our wedding anniversary (3 nights). The room, costing itself 200€ per night, had a problem with heating: no matter what we tried, the temperature would not rise above 21 degress celsius during our first night (anniversary night). Hotel stuff was informed. Wasn't able to fix this also. When we woke up the next morning, and the heating was operating the whole night, the problem remained. I asked if we could switch to another room with no heating problem. Two different hotel employees, had confirmed already that there was a problem with the heating of my initial room. The receptionist agreed to meet my demand and offered us the chance to switch to the junior suite. But, when I asked how much should I pay, she said that we would have to pay THE SAME price, just like if I was staying in the executive suite , for 3 nights. I responded that this is non-sense, and she replied that she notifies us about the decision the hotel owner himself had made. I requested to see him. And request was granted. Comprehensively: I said that 1) It is non-sense to ask us to pay for the junior suite the same price to the executive suite, which is, among others, 22 square metres larger as a room, especially since the problem was at THEIR end. We already have suffered enough with all this of course, and he should consider this also and leave us transfer to junior suite in peace, for God's shake. He replied in an amazingly rude, hostile and careless manner that :there was no problem with my initial room. The heating system is controlled centrally by the hotel. So I can't modify the temperature myself, because, what if I wanted to reach 30 degrees celsius in my room? So the problem is mine and it is my choice to change room. So I have to pay the whole initial booking, which concerns 3 nights in an executive suite. After alI, I chose their hotel to come, the didn't force me to. I COULD NOT BELIEVE MY EARS. And I wouldn't believe that this could happen in a 5 star hotel in my country. I said that, if so, then 1) Why this is not refered in your website? That we have to stay ”cool” in a winter destination like Zagorohoria and the heating is modified centrally depending on the preferences of the person in the reception? 2) Why then, two different employees of yours confirmed that there is a problem with the room? And why your employees didn't tell me that the heating is controlled
