10/10 Excellent

Perfect location! Small hotel with a nice pool right next to the beach. The view from our room was spectacular. For the price, I cannot ask for more.

Perfection in Matala

From arrival till departure this is a perfect holiday. Professional and friendly service in every area of the hotel, reception/manager, the cleaners and bar/breakfast staff. I've stayed in numerous hotels in Matala but in my opinion Zafiria will always be my number one choice.

The hotel was perfect walking distance to the beach and all restaurants, we had a nice big patio and beautiful sunset. Breakfast wasn’t the greatest but that’s okay everything else was great esp for the cheap price of the room. Pool area was nice too

6/10 Okay

Free parking should be removed as an amenity. There is one small parking lot that holds about six vehicles and the front desk told me that they don't verify if the cars parked there are guests of the hotel. When we went to leave, there was a car blocking every other car in the lot. I spoke to the person at the front desk and they said it was the owner of the hotel and he would tell her to move. When she did, she walked right by us and didn't apologize as if we weren't there waiting to get our car out. Afterwards, the owner of the mini mart across from the hotel came out and wanted to move his car (which was also blocking people in) into our spot. He seemed very annoyed that we were taking a while to load our luggage into the car and getting situated to leave. In short, it seems that the parking lot is being used for employees or random people going to the beach; it's not really reserved for guests. Plan on parking very far away.

8/10 Good

It was very convenient to walk to everything we needed. Unfortunately we had a room across the road & it was above their coffee shop, so it was noisy early in the morning. The shower needs attention as we were unable to attach the shower head so had to shower with one hand. There was a fridge in the room, but no kettle. Breakfast was included, but very basic.

Great location- mediocre room.

Location was perfect for easy access to the area. Parking was surprisingly easy knowing the area but it is a small lot so I could see it being difficult at times. What I am most disappointed in is the room location. It was on the backside of the hotel next to the swimming pool so no great view. I asked and rooms facing the street with balconies are not available on hotels.com, they must be booked through the property directly. The photos are a little misleading. If you’re okay with a small room and no view but a great location, then this place is not a bad option.

Ligging is perfect, parkeren op openbare parking, vlakbij/in centrum Matala en zo goed als aan de zee/strand.

Die Lage ist top - 2 min bis zum Strand und umgeben von vielen Restaurants. Das Hotel hat einen schönen Pool. Die Zimmer sind klein, aber mit Balkon und Kühlschrank. Das Bad ist nicht super modern, aber gut ´. Der Hotelmanager ist super nett und sucht immer nach Lösungen. Ebenso der Zimmerservice ist super nett und reinigt das Zimmer jeden Tag gut. Das Frühstück ist gut mit griechischem Salat, Joghurt, Brot und Wurst/Käse sowie Kaffee. Weitere Sachen können an der Bar bestellt werden. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt um zwei Tage verlängert, weil es uns gut gefallen hat.

8/10 Good

Das Hotel befindet sich im Zentrum von Matala und die Hauptsehenswürdigkeiten wie Höhlen und Strand sind leicht zu Fuß erreichbar. Es gibt gute Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und sowohl zahlreiche Souvenir Shops als auch Restaurants. In der Nähe vom Hotel sind einige kostenlose Parkplätze und ein privates Schwimmbad mit kostenfreien Liegestühlen. Die Frühstücksauswahl war begrenzt, aber immernoch ausreichend. Es gab keine Wi-Fi Verbindung im Zimmer. Das Bett war hart und unbequem. Die Kissen waren zu dick. Das Badezimmer war klein und eine Tür in der Dusche hat gefehlt. Von Anfang an waren die Pflegeprodukte nicht vorhanden, aber man konnte sie an der Rezeption nachfordern.

Un hotel simple mais sympathique. Tresbon accueil. Un bufet de petit déjeuner bien fournis. Et la plage à deux pas. Incontournable !

Struttura centrale a Matala ma datata. Dispone di alcuni parcheggi riservati. Pulizia non impeccabile. Colazione continentale ma nulla di particolare o locale.
