Beautiful views from all rooms
Great room with a beautiful terrace and view. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Great bathroom. Parking was right in front of the Hotel. Thanks again for the great service. We saw the view of several rooms which were all wonderful.

The room is outdated and tiny, you can barely move around. The bathroom is also tiny with a broken shower head holder ...

Lovely guest house
This was a really pleasant little guest house above a restaurant. Our room was spacious and well appointed, and very clean. The staff were nice and there was a nice breakfast provided in the morning.

Great location for exploring Meteora!
This is a great value if you are exploring the monasteries of Meteora. The owners are very friendly, provide a map of the area and helpful suggestions about visiting the monasteries. The room is comfortable and the Wi-Fi was fast enough to stream a movie for young children. There is plenty of parking and it is an easy walk to the center of Kalambaka.

Nice hotel
We stayed for 3 nights. The location was good and very convenient. All members of staff were nice. The room was stylish. But our shower room was far too small. It has the similar size as a single bed. The hotel has a restaurant downstairs. We wouldn't recommend the restaurant. There are plenty of good restaurant near by.

Great location and valuable for a short stay
A nicely decorated guesthouse and all necessities. Great balcony overlooking the Meteora. If more eggs could be provided for the breakfast, that would be better. Perhaps we were too late for breakfast. Great location and the owner offered efficient arrangement of the local tour. a value place to stay

Charming, well-located with friendly and helpful staff, Mythos was an ideal place to stay for my visit to Meteora. I spent two nights in the guesthouse while I explored the area. It combined modern conveniences with character and charm supported by the downstairs taverna serving local Greek fare. The side street has a cafe/bar that was the youngest and most lively I saw in the town.

Super friendly and generous
Friendly staff. They speak English quite well and are always happy to help. The restaurant was delicious, with the food made on site. The location was perfect, three minute walk from the bus station and ten minutes from the train station. Our room was large and had a perfect view of the Meteora. We highly recommend this hotel.

Charming little hotel near Meteora
We had 3 rooms for one night at Mythos Guesthouse. All were quite nice and with excellent views of Meteora. We had a lovely canopy bed in one room and a fireplace in another. The bathrooms were small, but tastefully decorated with stained glass. We enjoyed both lunch and a simple breakfast at the guest house. The owners were friendly and helpful.

Blah hotel in a boring town..
Arrived in town for a 2 night stay. Stayed 1 night and fled. Paid for 2 and did not care. We cannot totally blame the hotel. The town itself is " non descript" according to travel guides. UNDERSTATEMENT! Nothing happening in this town other than views of the Monasteries. Boring tavernas. We did take-out from a bakery in our room. The hotel was a disappointment. Check- in at the bar downstairs?? Creepy entry door to rooms. Weird stairwell to rooms. Duck or risk whacking your head on some type of pipe. A/C could not cool the interior of a shoebox. Two seats on a balcony that fit one person overlooking the back of the house next door. Must have been laundry day that afternoon. To be honest, this hotel was probably one of the better in town. Visit the area during the day and stay in Metsovo.

A-mazing service
This is no hotel, it's a guesthouse AND THAT'S GREAT! Truly, the owner (Spiros) and his small staff did everything in their power to make me feel at home there. Super friendly service, told me all about the monasteries in the Meteora and other good things to do in the area. The room had a great view and was clean, well furnished/decorated, and a joy to spend time in. Couldn't have had a better experience at a five star hotel. (p.s. I never write reviews. this place deserved it)

Nice hotel with a quirky feel
We stayed for two nights in Mythos and the room was comfortable with a retro feel. The view from our small balcony was magnificent though a little cramped. It is centrally located to most of the town and great information from the owner on what and how in Meteora. Our early train to Athens meant we would miss breakfast so the owner made a quick breakfast sandwich, fruit and water for the trip.

Great guest house for a visit to Meteora!
Had a great couple of nights stay in the Mythos guest house. Really good central location, amazing views of the rocks of Meteora from our balcony and a nice, clean rooms with really cosy, quirky decor and friendly staff. The taverna downstairs (which doubles up as the hotel reception) was also really nice, with really good lamb chops! Overall a great place to stay.

If only there were enough hot water from the shower... We stayed there two nights in October and found the room a bit chilly without the blankets. While the owners were extremely nice and friendly, they do not live at the guesthouse; you'll need to call them if you have any proble with the room or arrive late from other city. Otherwise the room was very lovely albeit compact and the location was great.

Good Location and simple accommodation
We stayed here for a family vacation trip to visit Meteora. It is not a conventional hotel but a guest house in a older building. We had a family room accommodating 4. The view was great and a small balcony was handy to escape the heat. The owner and the family are very friendly and helpful throughout our stay. The location is great at the edge of the small town, walking to central square with lots of dinning options. We were very happy with our stay.

Lovely hotel and we were warmly welcomed - the location was spectacular and there were plenty of shops nearby and places to eat. Only reason for the overall rating of 4 was because of cold water when showering! But hey cooled us off!

Cute Room and very friendly owners
Our room had double balconys with views to the Meteora pinnacles. The room was colorful, clean and cheerful, with dark wood floors, a fireplace, air conditioner, tiled bathroom and a painted ceramic wash basin. The hosts were friendly and provided very accurate information about the local sites. In fact the tourist information office of Kalambaka would benefit from their language skills and services. The hotel was two blocks from many restaurants, and two bakeries, and one block from a grocery. Parking was available, and the bus station was a short three blocks away.

Good location to train station. but poor service
Very good location as it near to Larissa metro n train station. Decent room with the price they offered below Euro 45. But reception staff did not offer sincere n warmly help to your queries. If you do not expect any help from the hotel staff, this is the choice of yours. As it has a very good location to railway station.

A small but exquisite hotel in Kalampaka town
I must say the owner of this hotel is nice and hospitality, we received their mail advices several times as we have some questions before we arrived. Knowing that we will rent a car from their sister company and they send their staff to pick us up from train station. Hotels in Kalampaka may be more or less similar, some better shape in higher price or vice versa; however, people is differentiated how good you wish to stay, this one surely is recommendable.

Hotel con cierto encanto próximo a monasterios
Mythos Guest House es un alojamiento con cierto encanto que te hace sentir ese algo especial de lugares únicos. El restaurante anejo Platanos comparte ese encanto. La disponibilidad de una amplia superficie pública para aparcamiento facilita mucho las cosa s, si bien la dirección no se localizaba en el GPS Garmin que alquile a Europcar, por lo que tuve que preguntar en tres ocasiones para llegar a mi destino.
