Hotels Near Zoologikos Kipos in Trikala

Wonderful hotel on a hill with great view on the surrounding area from the rooms, the restaurant and the outside pool. The rooms are comfortable, not top level but with all comfort you need. The sundeck with outdoor pool is just amazing !! All very new and very nice, great service at the pool and the restaurant is just next to it with outdoor seating area close to the pool. Amazing views. The hotel also has a brand new indoor wellness area with sauna, steam bath, small indoor pool and area for massages. Very friendly personnel everywhere. Nice breakfast buffet with espresso coffee, good restaurant (not top level, but good), a bit slow service at the bar/restaurant, but overall very happy with our stay. This is the best hotel close to the Meteora region (just 30 minutes drive). Highly recommended, we would for sure come back if we visit this area again.

The hotel is large in scale. Although it is newly renovated, it also has a sense of history. I found an old telephone booth in the lobby on the first floor. The rooms and toilets are very large and very clean. When I checked in, I found that the hotel also thoughtfully gave away a plate of fruits and a chocolate at the head of each bed, which is not a treat in other hotels. The only regret is that the location of the hotel is still a little away from the town. It is still not convenient if you walk to eat. If you have a car, it will be fine. You didn't take Ola very close to the big eye. The next morning, it was less than 15 minutes by car to reach the attraction, which was very convenient.

This hotel has staff that is friendly, conscientious and professional. Everyone went out of there way to make us feel welcome and special. I highly recommend this hotel for an looking to stay in Kalimbaka. The rooms are clean and have beautiful views. The pool has excellent service, food and 365 degree views. I will be staying here again and recommending it to friends and family going to Northern Greece.

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

During DANA Daniel, we were en route through Greece and our destination was Meteora. The weather conditions to reach our destination forced us to make a detour of approximately 500 km, so we were delayed about 8 hours. We arrived at the hotel very tired and the attention we received was exquisite. I explain this to justify my opinion, which may be a bit subjective, even though I write it a month after the fact. The rooms are correct, the breakfast abundant and varied, and the reception staff fantastic. Their help when returning to Athens allowed us to shorten the return trip by more than 4 hours. I think it is a good hotel to get closer to appreciating the beauty of Meteora.

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.

I like the retro hotel very much. From the moment I entered the hotel, the service of the hotel is exactly as seen in the British movies. The environment inside and outside the hotel is very good, the door is simple and elegant, and the outside is picturesque. The breakfast dining environment is very good, the food is very rich, the service staff is also attentive and elegant, the entire dining environment is quite satisfactory.
