Pros:

Petit hôtel simple et agréable, idéal pour profiter de Matala ! L’établissement est sans prétention, mais il y a tout ce qu’il faut pour passer un bon séjour. Chambre propre, accueil sympathique et emplacement pratique pour découvrir le village et ses alentours. Un très bon rapport qualité-prix, parfait pour quelques nuits en Crète. Nous recommandons.

Cons:

Le seul petit point négatif à noter serait l’insonorisation, qui est assez légère et peut parfois laisser entendre les bruits des chambres voisines ou de l’extérieur.
