Guesthouse Arsenis

Great location and great breakfast

Language barrier was a bit challenging with owner.

Location, location, location! For those enjoying nature, this is the best in the town. The host is very friendly and helpful.

The breakfast was very nice, full of options on the table. Pastries, hard boiled eggs, ham, cheese, butter, yogurt, honey, fruits, tea, juice, coffee. Very nice.We also liked that it was located in an Olive Grove. Beautiful pictures!

The owner held us for about 20 minutes to tell us his story and how he wanted a 5 star review because it was a family business. He also recommended to us his family two restaurants in town to go eat for dinner which was great, but took long time out of our schedule.Overall good I guess.

The Owner Kostas was welcoming and knowledgeable. The location was fabulous and the views were amazing. If you are traveling through this part of Greece, you would be hard pressed find a better place to stay. THANK YOU KOSTA!

Nothing...everything was excellent!

The location in the countryside. Our host was great too. He received us at a very late hour due to travel delays.

This is not a complaint, but rather an observation to let people know what to expect. The shower was very tight.

Very clean and peaceful with magnificent landscape view of the valley. The host family are very kind and generous.

only thing I dislike is the small shower with curtains that touched to my body when taking shower.

The place is owned by generations of originally local family. Polite people, clean rooms, fine breakfast, they provide with recommendations of course and the place is in a good location for the views and tourism. Easy to reach Meteoras, the hotel sits on several hectares hand with the old olive trees and production of the olive oil)

Everything was just fine

The host was great! Thank you BOSS, for the stake! The cat was friendly and the figs quite good.

The bathroom, at least for my room, was very tiny, with a sink so small that reminds me of the airplane bath.

Quite location, need a rental car, it is couple miles from the town

The best thing about Guesthouse Arsenious it is its location; it is upper in the hills, away from the heat and from all the business of the touristic area. You are literally only a few minutes away from the first Meterora Monastery, but being at the Guesthouse Arsenious, on my balcony, from where I could see some of the Meteora Rocks and the wineries around us, it felt so peacefully, plus the evening breeze of the evening made the evening more great. The guesthouse has a very large terrace patio outside, plus each unit has its own balcony, and if you have children, you have lots of space for them to us outside. The breakfast was plenty to keep us full until late evening. Having the breakfast right there and leaving a few minutes before 9, we were able to see the monasteries before all the tour busses arrived. I do recommend the place to all those that are seeking peace and very relaxing place for their vacation.

LocationBig rooms , good air conditioning

The place with the best view I've ever been to. Arsenis is a great host, very welcoming. The rooms are clean, the place is quiet with a panoramic balcony with a breathtaking view. If you ever plan visiting Meteora, you will not regret choosing this place!

Guesthouse is very good with nice hosts, you have all you need to visit the Meteora monasteries. Main plus is its location, about half way up from the city to monasteries. The view from the room is fantastic, you see the whole valley and mountains where monasteries are located on.

Bed matrasses could be a little softer.

Loved the location and view. Outside of the town but very close to it. Nice and quiet.

The breakfast does not seem like a good value. We considered it but noticed what guests were getting and it was just commercial packaged items so we passed on it.

Loved the location and views from the guesthouse.

The beds were quite terrible. The mattresses were so hard, we couldn’t sleep at all.

I really liked this place, Family run and in a stunning location. Very good advice on the area. Massive breakfast with unlimited coffee. Free bottled water to take out. Room perfect with faboulous views from balcony.

I'm being a bit picky here; but evening meals a bit pricey

Great location near Meteora monasteries. Great value and the owner is very friendly “Hello, boss!” and helpful. His mother is also very kind and they send you off with sweets (hard candies and loukoumi) before you head out the door for the day. The room was clean and comfortable and our view from our balcony over the valley was incredible and peaceful.

There was some kind of weed whacker sounds through many of the waking hours. They have an entire olive grove to take care of, or perhaps it was a neighbor. Either way, it was still worth it!

We totally enjoyed our stay at Guesthouse Arsenis. The owners were very friendly and helpful, giving lots of suggestions about things to do in Meteora and other parts of Greece. As a result, we visited several places that were not on our radar. We liked that Guesthouse Arsenis was not in the middle of the Kalabaka tourist area, so it was quieter and parking was not a problem.

Very clean room on the road to the monasteries.Our room had a view of St Stephen's Monastery from our porch.

Tiny shower

The hostel owner is a delightful person whose family has been in the area for generations! He has a great custom map of the area, highlighting paths and suggesting ideal ways to see different monasteries. My sister and I got the breakfast, which was a rustic mix of food and made getting going in the mornings easy. I'd certainly stay there again!
