I went there in the summer for a couple of nights and I slept under a kiosk, right outside a church. 100% free! š I have done this in Greece quite often. For some reason I get the feeling of the area that says me if itās safe or not. Still alive!
Try this link:
hostelzoo listings for Ioannina
It shows all the accommodation on one site and compares all the prices. And itās FREE to use. Yes I am one of the employees but it might help as it checks all the booking engines, not just one. Hope it helps with wherever you are traveling. Enjoy.
Wow, cheapest place you saw was 50 ā¬. I was in Ioannina in August, and just by walking from the bus station towards the centre I stumbled into a nice little hotel and inquired about prices. It was 25ā¬ for a single room, and I took that. The room was comfy, air-conditioned, etc. No breakfast though.
The place was called Hotel Elpis.
Address: Neoptolemou 10. About 1 km, or 15 min very easy walk, away from bus station.
Phone: +30 265 10 26 209 or +30 697 55 21 573
Googling around, their website should be at www.hotelelpis.com, but that doesnāt seem to work now.
It turned out there was a campground just a couple of minutes walk from the KTEL bus station where I posted my question from!
It didnāt show up when I used Google Web or Maps for ācampingā or ācampgroundā. I fluked finding it by Googling for āLonely Planet Ioanninaā where they listed its name and no other details. Then Googling for its name led to some skimpy details with no info on prices or how late I could check in. And of course I walked in the wrong directions around the city for about an hour since Google Maps mustāve been showing me some other bus station.
Camping Limnopoula does have a very basic English website where they even make it seem like there is some possibility of getting a bed or room.
It turned out to be ā¬9 per tent and ā¬2 per person but I was given a ā¬3 discount because it was the low season. So the cheapest option in Ioannina in early October is ā¬8!
High season prices:

Contact details:
couchsurfing.org or hospitalityclub.org would be the cheapest option imho. According to this page, Ioannina is the #7 most popular couch surfing destination in Greece, so your chances might be quite good.
If you prefer to splurge rather than spend the night outsideā¦
A site I often use for hotel bookings (it goes from hostels to palaces, usually comes out reasonably cheap for hotels but doesnāt list many hostels) still lists single rooms at ā¬30 for tonight. Hotel Tourist (Kolleti 18) has air conditioning and free wifi in the lounge. Egnatia (Dagli 20 & Aravadinou) has air conditioning and the price includes breakfast. Thatās assuming the places are still open at this time of night.
