I traveled with my husband in mid-June 2011 as a stopover to Meteora. We loved this lovely small town-Kalampaka very much and would like to recommend everyone to stay here if he/she wants to visit the monasteries.

Hotel Eldelweiss locates in center of Kalampaka. It offers easy access to the squares, train station, bus station and restaurants and bars.

As for the room itself, we would say the sheets are clean but the floor and the air conditioner are dusty. We stayed on the top floor with great balcony and nice view; however, it is a bit noisy as bars and restaurants are close by. Safe wasn't installed with electricity.

All in all, we would also recommend this hotel to budget travelers as the location is great and the staffs are all so kind.

it' s a very good hotel , next to the city center . It's a quite and comfortable hotel and it provides many facilities to their customers such as free parking , there's also a swimming pool and a very beautiful view at Meteora . The stuff is also very friendly

Dreadfully hard hard beds, pillows like bricks. Great view of Meteora rocks from balcony but would be hard to avoid in this town! Paid 50 euros for double incl breakfast which was fine.

We stayed here for three nights in July - we had two rooms on the top floor with the biggest terraces, I mean really HUGE, from which we could see almost 360 degrees. All the rooms have nice balconies, but guess we were just lucky to have these two rooms - it was not quite high season.

The rooms had good sized fridges, and we bought stuff at the local supermarket so we could have picnic lunches and evening drinks, watching the fabulous rocks of Meteora changing colour thought the day as the light changed.

The staff were absolutely charming, nothing was too much trouble for them (even providing a wine bucket and some ice for the wine I had bought from the supermarket, for instance).

Breakfast was excellent, a good selection of foods and prompt arrival of coffee and tea.

The pool was big, clean and we had it to ourselves mostly (!) - you need to take your own towels but there is a laundry just around the corner if you want them washed before you move on.

The bathrooms were very dated and tired, but very, very clean, so no complaints there!

My husband and I went off on a long hike one day and left our 17 and 14 year olds in the hotel, sleeping in and then playing in the pool, and we felt completely safe in the knowledge that the staff would just keep a gentle eye out for them.

Restaurant not operating at the time we stayed there - but a good taverna next door - so good we ate there twice. Another one up the road also very good. Kalambaka is a nice town.

Really,I cannot recommend this one enough - a very marvellous place, and excellent value (unlike the 5 star hotel Electra Palace in Thessaloniki !).
