Hotel Kastro

As the only hostelry inside the old walled city, this is arguably the most rewarding place to stay in Ioannina -- and thus hard to get a room at the last minute. It's a 19th-century house, tastefully restored by the proprietors. Most visitors happily accept its lack of some amenities in return for the unique experience of being here. Visitors also report that outside noise can be annoying at night during the high season. Cheaper basement rooms look out onto street level; showers in the bathrooms are small; breakfast is basic. But for those who enjoy old inns or pensions, this will be a highlight of your visit to Ioannina.
