Hotels in der Nähe von The Towers of Astraka, Zagori

Well, perhaps I'm not fair using the word ”they” in the title, since every single member of the hotel stuff, have been extremely polite. The girls in the spa, the technician, the receptionists, everybody: They have been amazing. So, the destruction, was one man's work only: the hotel owner's, himself. And of course, his guidelines-directions, that the hotel is following, should be held responsible also. I will try to be comprehensive, because if I right in detail everything that happened, I will not be over writing until...tomorrow. I had booked an executive suite for me and my wife for our wedding anniversary (3 nights). The room, costing itself 200€ per night, had a problem with heating: no matter what we tried, the temperature would not rise above 21 degress celsius during our first night (anniversary night). Hotel stuff was informed. Wasn't able to fix this also. When we woke up the next morning, and the heating was operating the whole night, the problem remained. I asked if we could switch to another room with no heating problem. Two different hotel employees, had confirmed already that there was a problem with the heating of my initial room. The receptionist agreed to meet my demand and offered us the chance to switch to the junior suite. But, when I asked how much should I pay, she said that we would have to pay THE SAME price, just like if I was staying in the executive suite , for 3 nights. I responded that this is non-sense, and she replied that she notifies us about the decision the hotel owner himself had made. I requested to see him. And request was granted. Comprehensively: I said that 1) It is non-sense to ask us to pay for the junior suite the same price to the executive suite, which is, among others, 22 square metres larger as a room, especially since the problem was at THEIR end. We already have suffered enough with all this of course, and he should consider this also and leave us transfer to junior suite in peace, for God's shake. He replied in an amazingly rude, hostile and careless manner that :there was no problem with my initial room. The heating system is controlled centrally by the hotel. So I can't modify the temperature myself, because, what if I wanted to reach 30 degrees celsius in my room? So the problem is mine and it is my choice to change room. So I have to pay the whole initial booking, which concerns 3 nights in an executive suite. After alI, I chose their hotel to come, the didn't force me to. I COULD NOT BELIEVE MY EARS. And I wouldn't believe that this could happen in a 5 star hotel in my country. I said that, if so, then 1) Why this is not refered in your website? That we have to stay ”cool” in a winter destination like Zagorohoria and the heating is modified centrally depending on the preferences of the person in the reception? 2) Why then, two different employees of yours confirmed that there is a problem with the room? And why your employees didn't tell me that the heating is controlled

This has to be one of the most charming hotels I have ever been to, and I have been to many all over the world. Hotel Kamares is a small boutique hotel and spa. We stayed in a suite which was so special, and cozy. It’s well appointed, clean, and charming with a Greek ethnic feel. There are no elevators to go upstairs to the rooms so if you can’t take steps this is not the hotel for you. That being said, the breakfast area is beautiful and quaint and has amazing coffee and a nice choice for breakfast. I had two wonderful massages while I was there, and the prices couldn’t be beat. I recommend the exfoliating salt and sugar massage. As far as the staff, they couldn’t be nicer. All of them were so wonderful, and all the little extra touches were so appreciated. Always giving us water and snacks for our day trips. When we return to Ioannina, I will look no further for a hotel. We will definitely stay in the Hotel Kamares again. For those who want to stay in town walking distance to the lake and many restaurants it’s the place to stay.

The hotel is stylish, in a great location as it’s easy to walk to restaurants, sites, etc. We stayed 2 nights and on arrival were upgraded from a standard city view to a superior city view which was very much appreciated. The superior room is spacious, the bed was extremely comfortable with good pillows and very good bedding (nice cotton sheets). Black out drapes also provide a very good sleep and were excellent. You do hear some street noise depending on the night and how much activity is outside though. The room safe is huge and fits a laptop easily. We enjoyed a drink at the rooftop bar overlooking Ioannia’s rooftops which is a great space. Wi fi signal was excellent in the room and the air conditioning unit worked very well. Everything is very clean. Breakfast is very good, and because of Covid it was a buffet with staff serving the guests. All staff are helpful and very friendly. The only shortcoming is parking and the difficulty of unloading and reloading the car with luggage. The problem is not paying €8.00 per day or even the block that it is away from the hotel. The problem is checking in and checking out. I’m not sure how the hotel can remedy this problem. We loved everything about the hotel, but unfortunately because of the parking/arrival/departure difficulties, we probably wouldn’t stay at the hotel again. Unfortunate because it’s an awesome hotel!! Therefore I am giving it a 5 circle rating based on the hotel itself.

Die Dekorationsqualität ist sehr gut, die Möbel und Dekoration sind alle aus Massivholz und die luxuriöse Lobby ist sehr geschmackvoll. Auch wenn es von der Epidemie betroffen ist, gibt es nicht viele Gäste, aber das reichhaltige Frühstück behält dennoch die Qualität eines Fünf-Sterne-Hotels.
