La limpieza de los baños y su estética y la practicidad, ya que tenia detalles muy funcionales en las habitaciones y baño. Ademas ofrecían una toalla por persona gratuitamente. Había aire acondicionado en las habitaciones y en el hall central lo cual hacia muy agradable habitarlo en pleno verano y aprovechar para compartir con otros viajeros. El staff ofrece una atención maravillosa y eso se transmite en el ambiente de la gente que se aloja allí. Un clima muy convivial y alegre. La ubicación es perfecta, realmente cerca de todo. Nos encanto!
Nada.

- La gentillesse du personnel qui nous fait nous sentir comme dans une grande famille,
- les dîners préparés sur place par Théo, qui travaille là-bas, pour une somme modique (6€),
- le confort de la literie,
- l'emplacement idéal pour aller visiter les Météores à pied (en plus on nous fournit une super carte et toutes les infos pratiques)
- la possibilité de faire une lessive pour seulement 4€.
La cuisine était des fois un peu sale mais cela est du à des voyageurs qui ne nettoient pas forcément après leur passage...

El ambiente del hostel era espectacular, y la atención de Kostas y Antoine de 10. Me explicaron las mejores rutas para hacer y me recomendaron los lugares más lindos de Meteora y Kalambaka. Las habitaciones eran muy cómodas y todo estaba muy bien organizado. La pasé muy bien, repetiría sin duda!

C'est l'une des rares auberges de jeunesse rencontrées au cours de mon périple, qui soit à la fois conviviale, spacieuse et propre. L'équipe est disponible et réactive, c'est rien de le dire, et s'adapte à la situation de chacun.e. J'aurai passé ici une très bonne semaine de repos, pour me remettre d'un rhume, et personne ne s'est étonné de me voir me lever à deux heures de l'après-midi ;-)
J'ai passé en revue tous les critères habituels, je ne vois rien à mentionner, qui nécessiterait une véritable amélioration.

L'accueil prodiqué par Antoine est spécialement agréable. Il m'a recommandé les meilleures balades du coin, qui sortent du circuit touristique classique. Kostas et Nicos sont aussi très sympas quand on apprend à les connaître. L'auberge a tout ce dont vous avez besoin. J'ai particulièrement apprécié le rideau qui prodigue de l'intimité dans des dortoirs spacieuses à seulement 4 lits. La clef du placard est même fournie par leurs soins.
Vraiment rien. C'est louche ;-)
Cette est drôlement bien pensée. Tout était toujours propre et pourtant je n'ai jamais vu personne faire vraiment le ménage. Comment font-ils ? Je reviendrai pour le découvrir !

Whatever requirements a good hostel need to be have, you have it all!
WELL DONE!
The shower room was a little too small. I used the bath towel to wrap my lower body after shower and put on my pants in toilet just 2 steps away as shower room was wet. Small issue anyway.

Loved to meet people of different ages and cultures. Liked the ambience very much. And then the Meteora magic was there too.

Incredible place to stay, chill out and enjoy hiking and visiting the monasteries. Kostas ( the ownner ) and Nikos create a great atmosphere and soon make you feel like at home. I went for climbing for a few days and finally stayed there two weeks. The hostel is located in a quiet area of kalambaka so rooms are not noisy and very comfortable as they have plenty of space. The toilet and kitchen facilities are also great, modern, spacious, and very important -at least for me - always clean !!!. It´s probably one of the best hostels I have ever been !!!. Great value for the price. Thank you and Congratulations to the owner.

Todo excelente, desde la amabilidad del personal hasta la calidad de las camas, baños, wifi y ubicación.
Además, tienen un tour gratuito a los monasterios (pagas el bus de ida y las entradas por supuesto). Me parece un plus genial y les agradezco por ello.

The Holy Rock was well located, close to the station and a short walk from both Kastraki and the start of the Meteora walk.
Nice facilities with a frontal communal area - free control over music, several sofas/ tables, games and a few chairs out the front to chat/ smoke. The bathrooms are partially communal (same room but labelled men/ women?) and were clean. The showers had good water pressure, towels are provided and you are able to do laundry. The kitchen isn;t large but has 2 large fridge-freezers and you are able to cook. The rooms were clean, the lockers were an average size.
Everyone was friendly and polite - I really enjoyed chatting with Steven one of the volunteers and the sisters in my room from Georgia were also lovely.
I really recommend walking between the 6 monastries (2 are nuns) - it's about 16km and very doable only the first section up to St Nicholas is steep, takes ~30min, max 45 if slower. Take enough cash as its 3$ entrance to all. All have giftshops. You can borrow wrap skirt. No tank tops. Be aware that one will always be shut (check depending on days of week).
Sunsets are stunning and you can walk back up to meteora properly to several viewing points but for an easier and empty viewing spot 10min down the road from the hostel try - https://goo.gl/maps/asEYVon5pBHfrXZUA (Nice View Sunset Cliff) - walk up the road behind and then clamber the cliff a lil (its got a white banner on it, sunset will be to your right)
If passing through Palaeofarsalos there may be an older local Greek man sitting on the platform - this is Kristos who will always advise on which platform you should be on and is usually up for a smoke/ chat. There is also a small bar where you can buy beverages/ icecreams. There are toilets at this station but be aware there is not always toilet paper - Id grab a napkin from the bar en route :)
Be aware there aren't basics provided in the kitchen (oil etc). Wifi worked well most of the time but did cut out on occasion.

Everything! The location, the comfy beds, the clean bathrooms, the common areas, the volunteer Sue who cooked delicious and so cheap dinners, the funniest owner Kostas and his advice, the free stuff place, the board games… Long time I hadn’t got this real hostel vibe, thank you 🌞

Easy to get to know some travellers

The showers could be improved, but still ok
4.5 / 5.0
Nice common area, good mix of soft furniture and table/chair | functional kitchen | solid WiFi | hot shower (wait for it) | good location, close to train station, bus station, and walking distance to monasteries | helpful and friendly staff (Kostas and Sue) | bath towel provided | good size lockers | beds had privacy curtains | good value, would stay again, easy decision |
Sometimes the kitchen appeared cluttered; would help if there was masking tape for guests to label and date food | sometimes people would smoke on front deck, if front door was/is open, smoke would permeate common area, which could be unpleasant |

The staff was really welcome and gave easy and useful advice for visiting Meteora. Perfect location to start the visit of the monasteries, both by foot and by bus (the hostel is very close to the bus stop that brings to the monasteries). The KTEL bus station is less than 10 mins by walk from the hostel.

Kostas really makes you feel at home here and it’s a great hostel to meet other travellers. The beds are comfortable and the lockers are spacious, and it’s within walking distance of cafes/shops and the meteora bus.

It was my first time staying in a hostel and it couldn't be better. Once you step foot into the living area you can feel like you're at your home. It has this warmth that you can only feel at your own place. The colors of the walls were pretty amazing.
Kostas was amazing and he gave me good advices on what to do and how to do it when at meteora.
The rooms were warm and clean and the restrooms were also super clean. I'm gonna visit it again for sureee!
