Wunderschöne Unterkunft mit herzlichen Hotelbetreibern.
Pros:

Das Frühstück war sehr lecker. Das Zimmer wurde täglich gereinigt und es standen immer frische Handtücher zur Verfügung. Zusätzlich war die Lage sehr zentral. Am aller besten war jedoch das Personal/ Hotelbetreiber. Wir wurden herzlich empfangen und als wir Schwierigkeiten mit dem Rücktransfer zum Flughafen hatten, wurden wir tatkräftig unterstützte. Eine absolute Empfehlung!!!

Cons:

Alles war prima!!

Bel hôtel très bien placé
Pros:

L'hôtel est parfaitement placé. Il offre des chambres simples, propres et très correctes. La nôtre (n16) avait un balcon assez grand. Salle de bain petite avec wc à l'interieur. Le gel douche +shampoing et savon sont fournis. Possibilité de prendre un petit déjeuner. La literie est très confortable.

Cons:

La climatisation de notre chambre était très bruyante. Heureusement qu'il ne faisait pas canicule car nous avons pu l'éteindre dans la nuit.

Pros:

Hotel carino, all interno di un edificio probabilmente di molti anni fa : le mura spesse hanno infatti consentito di avere una camera fresca senza aria condizionata. La stanza è dotata di tutto l occorrente e siamo stati benissimo.

Cons:

L unica cosa che non mi è piaciuta è il fatto di essere dovuto andare via 😂

Una bella atmosfera !
Pros:

Ottima pozizione nel centro di Matala, la spiaggia si trova a pochi minuti a piedi, la colazione non è compresa nel prezzo della camera, noi l'abbiamo presa come extra e siamo stati soffisfatti.

Cons:

Mancanza di parcheggio, anche se abbiamo trovato abbastanza vicino un parcheggio a pagamento

Perfect location 👌
Pros:

Location was perfect.
Bed was super comfortable, far exceeded my expectations.
Loads of coat hangers which appears to be vary rare these days.
Air con.
Shower had great pressure and lovely and hot.

Cons:

Shower worked perfectly well and was lovely and hot with plenty pressure but I'm not a fan of a shower curtain.
Could do with a slight update to the shower area/enclosure.

Ottimo per visitare Matala
Pros:

Intanto ci è piagiuto il gestore, Gheorgeos, che ci ha acoclti con il minimo preavviso e con molta cordialità. Poi il letto, probabilmente il materasso più comodo della nostra vacanza, finalmente sensza molle. La posizione è praticamente in centro a Matala, che è un paesino molto carino ma anche troppo turistico per i nostri gusti. Comunque la passeggiata è interessante e le possibilità di una buona cena a base di pesce sono tante. C'è un vicinissimo parcheggio a pagamento (5 euro per la giornata), ma arrivando la sera si può facilmente parcheggiare pochi metri oltre il parcheggio.

Cons:

Noi siamo contenti della stanza e dell'accoglienza. Forse il bagno (come quasi sempre abbiamo sperimentato) è un pochino piccolo, ma adeguato.
