Hotel Kastoria

“Walking distance to pretty much everywhere. The rooms are reasonable. We stayed in a room with 4 beds and a private bathroom for 60 euros in August, but most rooms seem to have no private bathroom. There was no hair dryer in the rooms, but there were shampoos, soaps and towels. They marked it as they have a parking area but they don't, it's just one parking space with signs on it and they don't let you park there. Parking is a problem in this area in general so keep that in mind, we had to roam around for more than 20 minutes to find an available space.”

“Nice hotel to stay for 1 or 2 days. The reception desk will help you whenever you talk to them. The bed is comfortable and clean. The bathroom is smaller and not enough space to turn around. And keep in mind, there isn't an elevator so you have to go up with your heavy luggage using steep stairs.”

“The hotel has a perfect central location, close to everything, and the reception staff were always smiling and helpful — they promptly gave us a hair dryer when we asked. The price is also very affordable, so in terms of price-performance, it’s quite good. However, there are some serious downsides. The street outside is very busy and there is no soundproofing at all — we could hear all the traffic noise even if the windows were closed. Also, the room doors are very old, and we could hear every conversation from the hallway inside the room. Many guests struggled to lock their doors, making a lot of noise, though luckily ours was easy to lock. When we first entered the room, we found some hair in the bathroom, which was disappointing. In summary: very central and budget-friendly, but not ideal if you’re looking for peace and quiet or modern comfort.”
