Meteora Hotel at Kastraki

酒店整體還可以，就是這個桌子上的蟑螂讓人無法忍受

This hotel is a hidden gem. The views are absolutely stunning—some of the best I’ve seen. Staff were friendly and genuinely accommodating. The rooms were clean, the bathrooms recently updated, and while the beds weren’t the most plush, I still slept well after a long day of exploring. The breakfast with the most amazing view was a standout: Greek yogurt, fresh fruit, cereals, pastries, and hot options, plus delicious lattes to start the morning right. As a bonus, there is a pool to relax in while taking in the view. I would return in heartbeat. As for location, it’s about a 20-minute walk to restaurants in Kastraki and just a quick taxi ride to central Kalambaka. The hotel is happy to call a taxi for you, and taxis are easy to find in town—we paid less than 5 euros per ride.

Pros: great pool with stunning views, friendly staff. Cons: toilet in the room smelled like sewer/drainage and there was black mould in bath and shower head with limescale. Breakfast wasn’t the best, coffee tasted like cardboard (and I’m not a fussy coffee drinker as drink instant coffee all the time), there was only unsalted butter, eggs were rubbery and the cakes were dry.
