Wonderful property. Room was large and very comfortable - best sleep I had in Greece. The owner was extraordinary- so kind and friendly. You can walk to the Main Street, restaurants etc. in about 10-15 min. I highly recommend Iridanos!!

Superb!
It is a real gem! We were super impressed by Iridanos. The guesthouse is beautifully designed, very clean and conveniently located (close to the monasteries and also to the city center). We highly recommend this place, also because of the spectacular management and staff.

Iridanos Guest House is a wonderful and charming facility at the foot of the amazing Meteora cliffs near Kalambaka. It is beautifully decorated with furniture and decor that make you feel like you are in a five star hotel. The staff is amazing and attentive and the included breakfast was delicious and fresh. We will stay here again if we have the chance!!

It was a short one night stay. The manager took us to our room, gave us a map of the area and information about the local monasteries. The breakfast in the morning was delicious and abundant.

The place is beautiful and unique. We would stay there again. Rooms are very nice and also clean. It is a classy place with great style. More modern than usual places in Greece as the bathroom had a fan etc... The only strange thing was that it had a coffee maker, but no coffee or tea or anything for the maker.

Perfect for visiting Meteora
Perfect family-run comfortable hotel for an overnight visit of Meteora. At the end of town (difficult to walk) but very convenient to drive with parking. Very friendly, personable and welcoming service. Gave great tips on sunset and photo spots for Meteora. Recommend.

We took a 12 days trip in Greece. This hotel is the best!! Wonderful and so helpful customer service! Gorgeous room with beautiful ceiling, decent furniture and even we have a fireplace in our room. The breakfast is also the best we have in our 12-day-trip in Greece. You will spend about $260~$350 to have the similar service in the US.

Great stay!
It rained during our stay else it is a 20 min walk to downtown Kalabaka. The room has beautiful woodwork, tiles in the bathroom, and a nice balcony. The bed was very comfortable and breakfast was delicious. If it was so foggy, we would have seen the rocks from our room. Front desk was very friendly and quick checkin. If you don’t have a car or don’t want to walk, you will need a taxi to/from here.

A very enthusiastic and helpful host. Since we had limited time, she was able to give a clear and concise summary of the route around the monasteries and even pointed out the two rock outcrops for the best view of the sunset. Our only dissatisfaction relates to the dim lighting in the bathroom - perhaps we're just getting old. Otherwise, a very enjoyable one night's stay.

Charming Hotel, Excellent Service
The hotel was charming and quaint yet modern. The finishes are exquisite. The staff was there for every need. The breakfast they serve is incredible. And the location is perfect. It’s family run and you feel taken care of as soon as you walk through the door. We would definitely stay here again and would rate it 10 stars if we could.

Amazing Hospitality
We stayed 4 nights at Iridanos and couldn't be happier with the experience. Seriously- this place has amazing old world charm with fabulous hospitality! First, the hotel is lovely with spacious rooms that are richly furnished, comfortable beds, plenty of hot water and balconies that have a view of the beautiful Meteora rocks. Breakfast each morning was extremely generous - boiled eggs, Greek yogurt, cold cut meats, cheeses, pastries, fruit, bread, juice and coffee. The perfect meal to start a long day of hiking. Most importantly, our host, Niki, went out of her way to make sure we had a great experience. Recommending that we take a hiking tour with Visistmeteora and then loaning us a hiking trail map for our additional two days. She even arraigned to have our bags dropped in downtown for us to pickup for our evening train. Note - it is located a 10 - 15 minute walk outside of the town center but we enjoyed the extra exercise after eating well each evening. A stay at Iridanos will definitely ensure a memorable experience in this beautiful place!

Hotel to explore Meteora
We selected the hotel because it list free self parking as an amenity. However, it means you have to park along the road outside the hotel...not within hotel compound. The hotel itself looks like a multi room mansion that lends it a homely feel. No lounge or lobby. There's tables for dining as you enter and reception desk at the other end (6m-7m away). Check in was prompt. Breakfast was pretty decent with lots of bread, butter, jam, cheese, boiled egg, orange juice and tea / coffee. Room itself was a bit cramped for 3 person with limited storage space. Bathroom was small but not the smallest we've been. Kettle to make coffee / tea was appreciated as some hotels we stayed in Greece did not provide this. It snowed the next morning we were there. This made for a nervous drive up Meteora to see the monasteries. However, it made the scene surreal and great setting since it's near Christmas. There's a restaurant next door but if you want options then need to drive about 1-2 km to Kalampaka town.

Home away from home.
Right at the foot of the road to Meteora. Beautifully appointed comfortable room. Far enough from the bustle and hustle of activity on Main Street Kalambaka so it was quiet. Nicky, our host was warm and accommodating. The feel was homey but the staff was professional. Numerous options for breakfast to satisfy any eater. Easily the finest Accomodation in Meteora, and the same family runs panellilion, also the best restaurant. They will take good care of you.

Me and my husband enjoyed our 2 night stay at the guesthouse while visiting Meteora. The room was clean and comfy, classic furniture with a view of the Meteora. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this guesthouse when visiting Meteora.

Charming and immaculate bed and breakfast
Iridanos was most certainly the best place we stayed in Greece. The building is even more charming than in the pictures, and the interior was immaculate. Of note, it is a B&B run by a family, which I think confused some other reviewers on here and Tripadvisor. However, they were very attentive and the breakfast was nothing short of marvelous. It's probably a half mile from the center of Kalambaka, though we just drove around (much easier way to see Meteora). Overall, I very strongly recommend staying here.

Super friendly and helpful host. Offered to deliver our bags to town center instead of having to walk back to hotel to pick them up after visiting the monasteries. The only downside is that the hotel is a little far from the train station. But other than that, had the most enjoyable stay. Thank you to the host!

THE place to stay to visit Meteora
This is an amazing place. We stay in A LOT of different hotels and this guesthouse is a gem. It is comparable to a 5 star hotel in terms of room presentation and comfort. It is immaculately presented, tastefully decorated with an amazing attention to detail. The view from the balcony of the mountains is amazing. Nikki is a friendly host who made sure we had everything we needed and provided us with a lot of information on the area. If you are planning a visit to Meteora (which should be a must of any visit to Greece) you should definetly consider staying here. There is also a tavern across the road which makes having an authentic Greek meal easy.

Great guesthouse! Niki is so welcoming. We didn't arrive from Athens till really late and she waited for us. Room is so nice and clean; had a balcony with a great view. We felt like we were staying at my cousins place it was so warm! Easy access to get in and out. Parking right outside the guesthouse.

Does not meet my expectations
Not a bad one but does not look professional. Was waiting for a long time at check in - you need to ring a bell so the staff could open the door and let you in. It seems the hotel owner lives on the basement level of the hotel, so she was not very responsive for my first two bell ring. The room is cleaned but not very professional. Dusts at the telephone. I noticed so when I need to call her for some questions, called her three times by dialing 0 as she told me but she didn't pick up the phone at least once. Also my room was nosiy in the morning since 8am because it's next to kitchen where breakfast is prepared. I got up early so it didn't bother me but worth to mention. Overall, not a bad one considering the location and room decor, furniture taste, bread at breakfast (tasty) etc., but this home owner hotel does not look like very professional to me. Will not recommend to my friends because not everything is well organized.
