Hotel Kastoria

For the price, it's pretty good, and the location is perfect, close to everything. Reception staff were always smiling and helpful, and promptly brought us a hair dryer when we asked. Still, the room wasn't very clean when we arrived, we found hair in the bathroom. Noise was a major problem. The street is busy and there's no soundproofing, so we heard all the traffic with the windows closed. The doors are old too, and we could hear every hallway conversation in our room. A lot of guests struggled to lock their doors and made a lot of noise, though ours locked easily. Very central and budget-friendly, but not a good fit if you want peace and quiet or modern comfort.

It was a great place for a low price. I was there for work, and it was just right for sleeping and resting.

You can walk to pretty much everywhere, and the rooms are reasonable. In August we paid 60 euros for a four-bed room with a private bathroom, though most rooms seem not to have one. There were no hair dryers in the rooms, but shampoo, soap, and towels were provided. Parking is a problem around here, so keep that in mind. They say they have a parking area, but it's just one signed space where they won't let you park. We drove around for more than 20 minutes before finding an available spot.

The smell and state of the room were awful. The facilities were broken, everything felt dirty, and the pillows were so dusty that I had an allergic reaction. I wouldn't stay again even if they paid me. Avoid this place. 🤮🤮🤮
