😊: Amazing hotel in a 118-year-old building. The halls are decorated with fascinating collections from the past century! Excellent breakfast and warm friendly staff!.

😊: Beautiful, classy hotel with its old-world charm and modern facilities. The staff, always kind and at our service. My thanks in particular to Mr Vangelis, Mrs Marina, George, Thanasis, and Costas. All lovely people.Also great central location in magical, historic Trikala.. 😢: Nothing..

On this trip to Meteora we decided to try Trikala, a little further away from Meteora, and glad we did. This property is adjacent to the central park, the highlight of the city. This being our first trip into the city we had some difficulty finding our way there. Parking is always a real challenge in Greece and we initially parked several blocks away. The manager (owner?) personally walked with me the two blocks to our rental car and guided me through the central district to reserved parking spaces on the semi-circle road fronting the central plaza, extremely convenient. The personal attention we received was exceptional. This is a wonderful, older property with all the charm associated with that. Our room was on the upper floor, the one on the corner facing the central plaza. The ceilings literally are 13 feet high giving the sense of specialness. Long flowing curtains made the room seem like it was for VIPs only. We were a little concerned about the possible noise from the plaza as Greeks like to socialize well into the night, but this wasn't a problem. We really couldn't close the curtains completely so those sensitive to light might not appreciate this. Of the three properties we stayed at on this trip to Greece this one had the most firm mattress, but we slept decently. We didn't utilize the our outside porch as it was far better being in the middle of the action in the plaza. The bathroom is nicely decorated in modern tile, but it's as small as the rest of the bathrooms in Greece we had. In addition this was an open shower. Fortunately there's a well placed drain just outside to collect the significant amount of water overflow. Every trip to Greece it seems like my wife has to burn out at least one curling iron, even using the Greek electric outlet converter. We found a department store just outside of town to replace it. The free breakfast is terrific. It's supplied by the restaurant next door (same owner?). It's absolutely lovely sitting outside by the road next to the plaza in the morning with the very generous and delicious servings. The hallways are wonderfully decorated and museum like in interest. Americans may not particularly appreciate the smallness of the bathroom but this is typical throughout Greece. One leaves the key at the front desk when leaving and pick it up when returning. No key cards here, it's an old fashioned real key. The atmosphere of the plaza makes this a wonderful stay. We were here on a Wednesday of the third week of May with very few other residents. It's a time of significantly reduced tourism at a time when Greece's economy is desperately hurting. This property is also conveniently located close to the main restaurant area just several blocks to the north over the river, an easy walk. We ate at Palia Istoria and loved it, based on Trip Advisor reviews.

😊: Everything was perfect, the great central location, very clean ans very authentic greek hotel, excellent breakfast and very very friendly staff. Special thanks to Marina, the chief manager..

I love, love, love old hotels and will cheerfully give up many standard amenities just to enjoy beautiful old architecture. This is the first old hotel I've stayed in where I did not have to give up *anything* at all, and yet the place still had a lovely historic ambience. Everything was excellently maintained, and the staff was great. So grateful to the owners who have kept up this place so well and not made gratuitous changes. ||||And Trikala--what a wonderful small city! This was a surprise highlight of a road-trip in Greece.

The first thing you notice arriving in the Hotel is how Hotel staff treating you.||Excellent staff, professional their objective is to make you feel at home.||They gave us room 108 on the first floor and as there is no lift it was there somebody from the staff to help us carry our luggage to our room. ||From reception to your room you feel that you are inside of a classy Trikala house of the past. So well preserved furniture and other valuable objects exhibited in the corridors of this Hotel. Arriving in our room it was of a reasonable size, high ceiling and with all the amenities in place. Bed and mattress reasonable good and aircon working fine. Bathroom not so big and no curtains so we had to sweep water out of the floor. There was a mirror on the bathroom window which suits fine, there is also a door to open leading to a tiny balcony. As we do not like aircon we kept this door open all night so it was a little bit noisy as the Hotel is in the centre of the city. Breakfast in the square just outside the hotel, it was a la cart, the gentleman that served us offered quite a lot of things to choose, of course, breakfast was included in the rate. Overall a good choice, if you are in Trikala stay in this Hotel, the advantages are competitive rate, excellent staff, location, a historic Hotel.

Located at perhaps Trikalas most central point the hotel boasts a truly magnificent facade, dating back over a hundred years the hotel is truly majestic in both look and feel. The hotel with its entrance and reception, its dining area and staircase, antique filled landings and it's very high ceilings is in every way classical, almost like a time machine. Our double room was quite on the small side and as with the bathroom was in need of a refresh but not to the point where you'd turn the room down, slightly disappointed with the air conditioning which whenever switched on smelled and the lack of sockets in the room but the very comfortable bed more than made up for the rooms few negatives. The service from Mrs Marina and her staff for the entirety of our stay was fantastic, even after checking out. Truly a heartwarming place to stay. Recommended.

We stayed there for three nights. The people there are available to help all the time, they are warm and welcoming, they are kind and polite. The place is nicely decorated with antiques and it gives the feeling of an old house of a Lord. The windows are wooden and maintain the old looking design but they are soundproof and mute the noise from outside. The room was cleaned properly and all the proper measures where taken by the stuff. They have a very beautiful space to take breakfast, which is served warm by the kind stuff. The hotel is next to the river which is beautiful. If I ever want to stay in Trikala again, they are my first choice.
