Hotel Galaxy
Train-station-close, balconies over the city and Pindos
About this hotel
Set in Kalabaka's centre, this hotel keeps the train station a hundred-and-fifty-metre walk away, with bars, traditional taverns and a supermarket within fifty metres of the door, useful for arrivals without a car. Rooms feature wooden furnishings and parquet floors, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a minibar stocked with free bottled water, and each has its own bathroom with shower and hairdryer. The private balconies look over the city and Pindos Mountain rather than directly at the rock pillars, a trade for the central position. A rich buffet breakfast starts the day, and the lounge area with fireplace, plus the bar, cover evenings once the monastery circuit is done. Trikala is a twenty-minute drive away.

Our take
This suits travellers arriving by train who want everything walkable from the platform, restaurants, a supermarket and the hotel itself all within a couple of minutes of each other. Families and solo travellers without a car benefit most from the position. Anyone prioritising a direct rock-pillar view from the balcony should look to Kastraki instead, since this property's outlook is the town and Pindos Mountain rather than the cliffs.
- ✓Arrive by train if possible, the station is a hundred and fifty metres away, among the closest hotels to it in Kalabaka.
- ✓Eat at the taverns within fifty metres rather than driving, the immediate block covers dinner without a car.
- ✓Ask for a Pindos-facing balcony rather than a city-facing one if the mountain view matters more to you.
Why we love it

Why guests love itHotel Galaxy sits in central Kalabaka, 150 metres from the train station, which makes arriving with children and luggage simple. Rooms have private balconies facing the town and the Pindos mountains rather than the rocks themselves, and there is a bar and a lounge with a fireplace. The Meteora rocks are within three kilometres. I would choose it for families arriving by train who want a central, practical base for a short stay.
