Monastiri Guesthouse

This property had an easy check-in (during which they gave us some supremely helpful information about Meteora), the room had a comfy bed, and unlike so many other places I've stayed in Greece, it was quiet. There weren't any cars roaring by in the night, nor any noises from inside the hotel itself. I've come to really value this. It's also very close to a boardwalk area with lots of restaurants and a playground, but not in the area in a way that would create noise. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast spread was incredible, with homemade jams and cakes. I wish we had stayed another night.

We really enjoyed our stay here, the staff were lovely and very helpful, always ready with information and to have a chat. The pool area was a bonus. Our room was comfortable and the small verandah off the room was nice to sit at. The breakfast was great with lots of home cooked goodies and great variety of foods on offer. It was a short 10 minute walk into town to find restaurants and tavernas, which was very touristy, so having the guesthouse out of town a little was nice as it was a quieter area to stay, heaps of easy parking was available around the hotel.

There are so many things to like about this place and I am excited to share. We are a family of five (mom, dad, three kids). First, we got the family room, street view, and we are so happy that it is spacious with a balcony. The vibe in Kalabaka is so chill and positive, this room is perfect. Bed, beddings, mattress (firm) are great. We also have a lot of luggages so this big room is perfect to organize everything. I was also able to have our clothes washed and dried via their laudry service which is reasonable at 25 euro. Our room is also quiet, you can sleep soundly at night. The neighborhood is peaceful. Second, the people. Oh they are so kind. The reception area representatives are smiling, gracious, polite. Like they really love what they are doing. They patiently explained to us the sites and monasteries to see around. Third, the breakfast. Oh how lovely. You have all the essentials. Healthy, comfortable. We love it. Fourth, the parking is spacious. We drove a van and there is good space for parking. Fifth and finally, the price is reasonable given the space and togetherness we enjoyed as a family. We are truly happy that we chose this place over the others that showed in the booking.com app. I based my decision on the area and the good reviews of the other travellers who tried this place. Thank you Guesthouse Monastiri, you are so kind and accommodating. God bless you and your team.

Charming guesthouse, great location, easy walk to town yet in a residential and quiet neighborhood. We have walking difficulties and still had no problem walking the few blocks into town. Fantastic views of Meteora too. However, the best part was the staff! Also, there is an adorable cat (black kitten about 6 months old in October 2024) who is a stray but lives there. She is very sweet and warmed our hearts. We felt like we were staying with friends, yet professionally managed and very clean.

The staff (especially Dita) were all most helpful right from the beginning when we first made the booking. We asked about conducted tours to the monasteries and they suggested we wait until we arrived to talk through the options. They gave us information on the town, booked taxis and made the monastery tour bookings for us. Although only two floors, the hotel had a lift which was most welcome. Our upstairs room was very specious with a balcony view of the pool, with the spectacular rock formations and three of the mountain-top monasteries in the background. A dip in the pool was the perfect follow-up to a long morning of climbing steps to and from the monasteries! We were made to feel very welcome by all the staff and enjoyed ourselves very much.
