Excellent hotel close to the beach.

The hotel is close to the beach. The hotel has own parking area. There is an elevator in the hotel. The rooms were clean, the staff was very nice. The breakfast and the dinner was tasty. This hotel was good choice for us. I recommend it for visiting Matala.

Great stay in Matala

The room was basic and a little dated, although the bathroom had been upgraded and was very nice. I was disappointed there was no tea/coffee making facilities in the room. Pool and restaurant were both lovely. Breakfast choices were excellent and varied. All in all a great stay.

Nice pool, good position. Good breakfast. However, the room is very small and the airconditioning was stinking. All in all good value.

Pool is good, rooms are clean, it's a bit dated and showing it's age, some repairs are needed, shower tap fell off, airco rattles, bannisters are badly fixed, broken tiles. Some staff are sometimes very rude.

6/10 Good

Location of the hotel was good and it had a pool which was useful on windy days and unusual for the area. The food at breakfast was very repetitive, however it was nice to have fresh yogurt and honey. At dinner, no soft drinks or water were provided which is the first time we’ve ever encountered this on a half board package. If we wanted water, we had to buy a 500 ml bottled water for 1€ which was 25 cents in local stores. The room was a nice and beds were made everyday, although linen and towels could have been changed more often. Not all staff were friendly and made us feel uncomfortable at times.

Ein Hotel halt.

Das Hotel ist reinlich und befindet sich im guten Zustand. Zum Kern und zum Strand kommt man locker in 5 Minuten. Das Frühstücksbuffet ist empfehlenswert. Das Bett war sehr unkomfortabel (Aufwachen mit Rückenschmerzen), während meine Partnerin sehr gut schlafen konnte.

Das Zimmer, welches wir reserviert hatten, bekamen wir nicht. Wir buchten eine Suite mit zwei Zimmern, bekamen ein kleines Dreibettzimmer. Das Personal war unfreundlich und frech, nachdem wir reklamierten. Wenn es nicht so spät gewesen wäre, wären wir wieder abgereist. Es ist das letzte Mal das wir bei Expedia gebucht haben. So etwas ist mir noch nie passiert. Viele Grüße

Hôtel très bas de gamme. Chambre vieillotte, lit très inconfortable, salle de bain d'un autre temps, douche minuscule avec rideau... Petit déjeuner horrible, industriel, certainement des produits congelés, salle bruyante, cantine bas de gamme. Je déconseille fortement cette établissement. Seul point positif son emplacement proche du centre de Matala et de la plage.

Matala beach 2021

L’hotel dista a meno di 5 minuti a piedi da Matala beach. Pulito e dotato di personale cortese e molto disponibile. Abbiamo soggiornato in 3 in una stanza “deluxe” situata al 4º piano per una sola notte. L’ascensore non funzionava ma i bagagli ci sono stati fatti pervenire in stanza mediante un ascensore di servizio. Colazione continentale abbondante con alcuni alimenti cotti al momento di servirli.

Chambre un peu vieillotte. La salle de bains nécessiterait un rafraîchissement. Pour le reste, rien à dire. Petit-déjeuner copieux, piscine agréable, hôtel au calme légèrement à l’écart du centre ville. Je recommande cet établissement

Albergo molto comodo e centrale, la hall e gli spazi comuni sono belli e luminosi. Personale molto gentile. Ottimo il sevizio bar, aperto fino a tardi. Molto bene la colazione, sia per il cibo sia per la location. I bagni delle camere vanno rinnovati ma nel complesso il rapporto qualità prezzo è eccezionale. È stato un piacere soggiornarci.
