Room was small but workable. Nice balcony to relax on not much of a view . Shower is very small a thin person would barely fit but the water was hot. Came with a small.fridge freezer and worked great once plugged in. A/C was available but they removed the remote thinking I would not need it so room was stuffy and opening the bacony door helped a bit until the mosquitoes made their way in so that was annoying. Breakfast was very good no complaints. About a 10 minute walk into town so not a big deal and flat. I would suggest checking that the A/C remote is in your room before front desk closes. I would have rated the place higher if not for this. Again simple clean small room but served the purpose. Bed was a bit on the hard side.

Took a chance on high ratings on booking website and anticipated basic accommodation, it’s true for “basic value” somehow disappointed us. Lots of cats in the premises, good for cats lovers and bad for people allergic to cats.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Die Ausstattung des Zimmers war nicht zeitgemäß, das Zimmer und vor allem das Bad waren klein, die Dusche winzig und das Wasser lief über, die Wassergläser winzig und nicht zu gebrauchen, Klimaanlage nur gegen Aufpreis, die Betreiber waren wenig herzlich und hilfsbereit, der Stil unangemessen, das Frühstück dürftig, noch gerade vertretbar, Haus und Garten und der Pool sind hübsch und nett angelegt, die Lage zum Ort gut, allerdings ein Auto- und Motorradverleih auf der anderen Straßenseite mit oftmals entsprechenden Lärm. Gemessen am Preis insgesamt aber noch okay.

Old school bohemian charm in Matala

A very comfortable, slightly quirky, original and welcoming stay at an independent hotel with some original charm! It’s not super slick but it is cute and comfy and charming in an old school hippy Matala style and I liked it.

charmant petit hotel familial

à 300m de la plage de Matala, cet hotel de 18 chambres est tenu par un couple d'allemand et leur assistante anglaise. des gens adorables! ambiance typique de la Crète. L'essentiel est là pour passer un bon séjour : piscine, climatisation, frigo, balcon, grand lit et propreté de l'établissement. nous ne sommes que dans un 2 étoiles et pourtant c'est agréable. je recommande pour les gens aimant la simplicité et la gentillesse.
