Nice Grove, little dated place, but clean with a great breakfast.

The breakfast was very nice, full of options on the table. Pastries, hard boiled eggs, ham, cheese, butter, yogurt, honey, fruits, tea, juice, coffee. Very nice. We also liked that it was located in an Olive Grove. Beautiful pictures!

The owner held us for about 20 minutes to tell us his story and how he wanted a 5 star review because it was a family business. He also recommended to us his family two restaurants in town to go eat for dinner which was great, but took long time out of our schedule. Overall good I guess.

We will go again ☺️

Amazing views from the balcony, very close to the monasteries and friendly owners. The room was clean and warm.

The room needed updating but we didn’t mind and we would like to stay again.

Lovely location in easy reach of the stones and monasteries of Meteora

Beautiful location near to the stones and monasteries of Meteora. The host was very helpful and friendly.

Unfortunately as they were not very busy on the day we arrived there was no option to eat at the property, the host however did make some suggestions in the nearby town which is only 10mins away.

The closest place to stay to the Meteora lookouts.

Probably the closest place to stay to the Meteora lookouts. Simple rooms with bare necessities ok for a night or two.

Check the mattress before accepting the room. Another guest told us their's was ok but ours was beyond terrible.

Excellent Accommodation and Exceptional Hospitality

We had a wonderful stay! Kostas, the host, was incredibly warm and welcoming. The guesthouse is located on a quiet hillside, very close to the monasteries and the viewing platforms. We only stayed for one night, but we would definitely love to come back if we have the chance.

Good place to stay to visit Meteoras

The place is owned by generations of originally local family. Polite people, clean rooms, fine breakfast, they provide with recommendations of course and the place is in a good location for the views and tourism. Easy to reach Meteoras, the hotel sits on several hectares hand with the old olive trees and production of the olive oil)

Everything was just fine

Nice place for a short stay and visit the monastrys

It was close to the monastry, among the hills with a nice view. There is an olive field next to the guesthouse and a big car park which is safe and free. There is also an access for prams/wheelchairs to access the rooms. Friendly family business.

A bit oldish and could need a refresh.

Great location with view over the valley half way to the monasteries

The location is great, about 4 kms outside the town with a great view over the valley

In my room the bathroom was a little small

Convenient, comfortable, caring

Great location near Meteora monasteries. Great value and the owner is very friendly “Hello, boss!” and helpful. His mother is also very kind and they send you off with sweets (hard candies and loukoumi) before you head out the door for the day. The room was clean and comfortable and our view from our balcony over the valley was incredible and peaceful.

There was some kind of weed whacker sounds through many of the waking hours. They have an entire olive grove to take care of, or perhaps it was a neighbor. Either way, it was still worth it!

This was a great place to stay while visiting the amazing Meteora area!

We totally enjoyed our stay at Guesthouse Arsenis. The owners were very friendly and helpful, giving lots of suggestions about things to do in Meteora and other parts of Greece. As a result, we visited several places that were not on our radar. We liked that Guesthouse Arsenis was not in the middle of the Kalabaka tourist area, so it was quieter and parking was not a problem.

Welcoming environment!

The hostel owner is a delightful person whose family has been in the area for generations! He has a great custom map of the area, highlighting paths and suggesting ideal ways to see different monasteries. My sister and I got the breakfast, which was a rustic mix of food and made getting going in the mornings easy. I'd certainly stay there again!

Nice place to stay in Meteora

Well located just minutes from Meteora monasteries, hence a great base for local exploration. Clean and spacious rooms, a but dated, good breakfast. Staff is kind and provided info about the suggested sightseeing. Recommended place.

For sure, the BEST place to stay when you're visiting Meteora!!

The guesthouse ruined by a lovely family. They are so guest free and kind, it's truly a pleasure to stay there!! Also the location is just perfect, nice and quit in the middle of nature. You can enjoy a wonderful breakfast and authentic greek diner fresh from the grill!! I am definitely going back there!

Nothing at all!!

Good

The location was great, in a very quiet area and close to the Meteoras. The owners were great and give us little gifts :) Our room says that is “valley view” but unfortunately was just half of valley view :(

Everything in the room was small: the TV, the bathroom, the sink. Also on the balcony it would be good to have some chairs that are more comfortable. The view is great but you can’t enjoy it because you can’t stay comfortable. Also there are not mosquito nets on the balcony window and you can’t sleep with the window open although the sound outside is great and perfect for sleeping. Also, there were 2 cats with little kittens outside the property and the owners didn’t let them inside. Ok, I understand that maybe they have some medical problems because of the cats, but with the heat that is there the poor cats are starving and thirsty. They at least can give them some food and water outside the property.

Superb

Pleasant room, nice views, close to the monasteries of Meteora, which was a primary reason for our visit to the area. The proprietor is charming and entertaining and takes an interest in his clientele from all around the world. He has dining available and the evening meal was excellent traditional Greek fare, cooked on an open fire.

I have no complaints. Everything met or exceeded expectations.

Exactly as advertised. Quaint. Cute.

Look, this dude went on a tangent about Giannis (a Nigerian-born Greek basketball player) having superior DNA. It is what it is, but he is as innocent as he can possibly be while saying it. He’s part of the experience.

People were very welcoming and friendly. we have felt like at home from the beggining of our stay. Kosta´s mum prepared us traditional greek meal. we enjoyed greek wine and after dinner tasting of ouzo as a present from Kosta. Kosta tried to do is his best so that we enjoy our stay in his place. the room was clean with spectacular view. parking just at the property. location is just in the center of Meteora. I would recommend to everybody.

Exceptional

The guesthouse is really well located. It's around 50' walking from the center of Kalambaka but it's quite near the start of Meteora circuit with a privileged view. Kostas was an excellent host, willing to share some inside tips and recommend us with the best itinerary to visit all the open monasteries. The food prepared by his mother was really good, I'll recommend it. It was also very welcomed after visiting the monasteries by foot. We didn't have any issue with our stay but it should be noted that because of the area the WiFi signal wasn't the best. It wasn't a problem for us as our phones were able to connect, but there was a warning signal in reception regarding the WiFi signal.

Nothing.

High above my imagine

I was lucky to find this hotel. This nearly 200-year-old family hotel, halfway up the hill, is far from the hustle and bustle of small town, however, the transportation is very convenient, less than a five-minute drive from the city. The early morning terrace overlooking the snowy mountains and the monastery of Meteola is an unparalleled experience. Beneath the room was a large olive grove in the owner's home. The hotel lobby has a TV and fireplace and the atmosphere is very nice. The owner, Kostas, lives here with his parents. They are very friendly. When I left, the owner's mother gave me some jam and dessert that she made by herself. I'll come back and I'll recommend my friends,

The location (transport necessary) was superb, away from the town in the middle of the countryside with super views of the surrounding area. Towels changed and bed made daily. Good food on site. The generous host was very accommodating and had good local information. Overlanders are welcomed here and there is plenty of space for parking. This place was exceptional value for money and the quality of the service first class.

Location, free wafter and goodbye present ( a homemade jam)

Mosquitoes were really disturbing. Although hotel owner gave us a device to keep mosquitoes away, we had to kill tens of mosquitoes each night. Another point is the dinner offering ; we were asked if we want barbeque for the dinner ( pork or chicken only) for both of the nights we stayed. We couldn't answer straight as we couldn't know what time we will be back to the hotel. As they insisted to serve it at 19:00 only, it didn't fit to us. However 2nd night we told them that we've eaten late and will just eat some pitas that we bought and asked them if we an eat them at the lobby. In order to make them feel OK we asked one portion of barbeque chicken and 2 portions of Greek salad. This request made them angry and the owner criticized us because we ate outside and told that they cant make barbeque for 1 portion.. Therefore we lost our appetite and canceled our request...
