Where to stay in Matala

the hotel is very near to matala beach. The room was in the building behind the parking spots. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The personal were friendly. The breakfast was perfect with everything you need. The only thing: bathroom is small and if you shower, you would have water everywhere in the bathed.But we would recommend this hotel.

I really liked it, we had a front sea view room and it was good. Has a pool but I didn't go in as the beach is right next to it. Location is superb, watch sunset on beach come back get changed so easy. Great breakfast, all the staff were so friendly especially the cleaning lady, amazing, stayed for 3 nights.

We paid 50€/night in October , included breakfast. The overall experience is very good! The facilities are nice ( 4 swimming pools, a gym and common areas), the location is perfect, our room is literally 1minjte away from Matala beach. Our room was big and had a balcony where we could put our clothes to dry. Employees from the hoteL were all friendly and helpful!

Good place, mostly focused on French guests. Good meal, good service, reasonable prices, it is almost directly on the Beach.

My mom and I have come here 15 years in a row at the beginning of summer. It feely so welcoming seeing the three brothers who one the hotel and most of the staff every year again. Other guests also come back every year. The food is homemade and very delicious. They show a grand variaty of typical greek food, and always a vegetarian option. The rooms are clean and contain everything you need.

We had a wonderfull vacation in a very beautiful bungalow. The staff was very friendly and accomodating. We would certainly return.

Accomodating people. When ac was broken they tried to fix same day and offered (with some prodding) a new room. Very helpful staff and great breakfast. 15m walk to the beach. Stay here.

Good hotel with pool, very friendly staff. Wifi does not work however and walls are extremely thin. Power sockets and electricity were not working properly in the room. Bathroom and shower were great, certainly shortly renovated. Buffet/a la carte choice were a bit limited, breakfast was ok but coffee tasted like water. All in all, ok for one night but I wouldn't spend a whole week there.

Very pleasant hotel. excellent food! home made fresh meals. fantastic atmosphere. helpful stuff. It's 11 minutes of easy walking on flat terrain to main street and the beach. but place is very quiet. there is not ANY disco under the windows for whole night. good for resting. you have all you need in the hotel. drink bar, restaurant, garden swimming pool 20 meters nice under the palms. few times a week...

I've stayed at this hotel three times. In 2001, 2002 and 2018. It is my favorite hotel on the island of Crete. I like everything there: the rooms, the breakfast, the garden, the hospitality of Olimpios (the owner of the hotel), the swimming pool. Thank you, Armonia for the three wonderful holidays! I'm trying to get there again in September 2022.

We have been going to this place for 8 years. Olympios & Lydia hiswife will welcome you in an eco-friendly, familly focussed hotel. It is visited by many frequent customers who fell in love with the place and other 'de passage' who comes for a couple of night. If you are lucky enough your afternoon around the magnificent pool will enchanted by Olympios mandoline and songs. Breakfast are following...

Tasty breakfast with many options, good location, easy and free parking. The big dog that wanders at the hotel reception can be bit scary but he was calm and obeyed the owner. There was a fridge in the room.

10 min walk from beach. Tasty breakfast. Small swimming pool available. Public parking available only however there a lot of free places to park.

This is a great little hotel at 10 minutes walk from the center of Matala. Nice rooms, great looking pool, delicious breakfast and lovely hosts. They also have plenty of parking spaces and a big fluffy bonus for dog lovers!

I had a lovely time in this beautiful hotel. The staff are very friendly and the property is very well kept. Enjoyed my daily breakfasts. The beach is only a five minute walk and there are lots of shops and restaurants in the area. Would certainly go back again.

Renovated hotel with a nice pool. We absolutely liked the room with a view on the pool. It's spacious and there is a nice terrace. A typically Greek bathroom, a bit small, but more than ok. Everything is really clean and we loved the breakfast. Friendly owner. The villlage is within a nice walking distance. We would recommend Paradise Hotel.

We had a very nice stay, it’s a family hotel with great food and atmosphere, definitely we will be coming back.

Nice hotel, good food, nice pool area and bar, great staff who are efficient and break the ice introducing you to the other guests. A very good fun and chilled experience. Short walk to town and the beach. If you go, tell Tomas - Paul sent you! 🤣

Very friendly staff, ok location, very good scennery setting. Rooms small but cozy enough. Biggest minus would be food. Only a few choices of different food to pick from at dinner and breakfast.

The terrace overlooking the garden is a dream! We enjoyed our meals there. Variety of food is not that big but quality is very good. It's freshly prepared and service is great! Thank you very much!

I was for one month and I have to say that I love the hotel ,just an amazing experience 😍😍 I am sad that I need to go bad to work , I am looking forward for my next holidays 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻😃😃😃😃😀😀 Guys don’t miss this amazing hotel 👈🏻Ow and the best part? Amazing food buffet ❤️

The hotel is near the village and near the beach. Very good food, made fresh ecru day. The bedding is quite hard, rooms are very nice we had one with great terrace. Very well cleaned. Very friendly and nice people.

quiet, 5 minutes by foot to the beach, 1 minute to small village centre. Nice, clean swimming pool. friendly staf, nice bar.

Clean rooms basic we had no kettle just a fridge but it was only an over night stay so fine nice pool area 5 min walk to matala easily done on the flat breakfast was good continental style maybe there are rooms with better facilities it was a nice place to stay

Pros: the most friendly staff, lovely breakfast, great location, very clean. Cons: bed was hard as a rock, shower was super tiny. Couldn't have the windows open at night as a band playing nearby was crazy loud, so the room was quite warm, we had to ask the front desk for the remote for the Aircon.

Great location, lovely staff and a nice breakfast. Our apartment at the back was okay, clean and big enough for 4.

Amazing hotel to stay at! Mrs. Eleni is a complete sweetheart and helped with anything we needed. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and had a mini fridge. Highly recommend staying here it was close to the beach and my family and I had a lovely stay!

Nice small hotel 10 minutes from the center, clean rooms with balcony and comfortable beds, spacious bathroom. There is also a small pool for those who need a change from the salty sea water. Quiet area, parking available at no extra cost.

Beautiful and relatively peaceful experience. We felt very welcome and at home in the room just by the pool. The pool was great! However, that room had no Wi-Fi reception, the curtains were not occlusive (sunshine at 6am) and the air conditioning along with the fridge were so loud that we had to switch them off for the night. Even with that off, we were awoken at 6am by super loud pigeons and caged...

Amazing place. Peaceful, beautiful and extremely good value for money (even with a pool). Basic rooms, but very clean and with nice balconies. We stayed one night and had breakfast. The family running the hotel treated us very kindly

Great location, very nice hotel, clean and everything in the room works. Staff very friendly. Pool area fantastic.

Nice looking little hotel on the old Matala road. Affordable rates and very kind and caring staff. On the downside, unpractical bathrooms, and a quite basic breakfast (ok, it's only 5€). Overall, a nice stay anyway.

Comfortable and chill! The hotel let us enjoy the best of Matala. The cleaning service is very well done, the only pitfalls are the breackfast that is quite repetitive and the pool is closed during nightime. Tip: when walking back to the hotel in the evining, look up, the clean dark sky full of stars is pure awe!

Fantastic relaxing place.Made to feel very welcome as always. My fourth visit. Thank you Michael and Cornelia. XX

Fine place. I just got annoyed by drunk people in the pool at night, people talking loud in the corridor and the stink sewer in the room sometimes.

Decent, could use some renovation as well as more accurate cleaning. Volunteer staff are super friendly and helpful! Bed bugs in my bed (maybe I was unlucky).

We agreed with some more people/guests that a year ago it was better. The hostel needs a proper maintenance and cleaning, if not a renovation. There's so much work but noone to do that job.

This hostel - hotel has spacious clean rooms and the pool is very nice and clean. The common areas are ok but noisy so not recommended it for work. The management is absent.

May 2024. 4th time staying here. They are small, but changes in the kitchen are for the better: there are separate shelves where guests can keep their things, which do not necessarily have to be in the fridge. In high season, just right! May 2023. I stayed here for the third time. It was the beginning of the season, so despite booking an 8-person dorm, I was upgraded to a 6-person room at no extra...

We stayed at the hostel for 3 days after renting a car from Heraklion, the main city. It’s just over a hour of a drive through the beautiful rural landscape - the drive in itself up the mountains is an experience in itself. There is such a charm driving through the canyon valley before we arrived and the middle the hostel is nicely set, nestled in the side of the canyon hill. We arrived 5 hours before...

Very friendly service and good location (only about 7-10 min walk to Matala beach). The beds were very comfortable. We booked a private room and there were only rooms left with 2 separate beds so they offered to put both beds together. We were also allowed to use the kitchen before we did our check in and we also were allowed to leave our luggage before checking in and after checking out. The hostel...

If you are looking for a small hotel right in the town center about 300m from the beach, this is the place for you. It is a 2 star hotel, so don't expect 5 star luxury. The most important clean room and bathroom, it seems to have been recently renovated, super nice staff with an open ear to questions. For me, the location was important to keep distances short and relatively quiet, as well as WiFi.

Nice little family hotel, great location, Good-sized airy rooms, each with a balcony. Our only criticism: the bed was a bit hard for our taste and the breakfast quite minimal ( which was enough for us, we want mostly coffee in the mornings ). If ever back in Matala, we would stay in the same hotel.

Wonderful hotel of a lovely family. If you come every year, you are welcomed and treated almost like a family member. The rooms were freshly renovated last winter. It's perfectly located near the main square.
