Bel hôtel familial. Bon accueil et disponibilité de Dimitri. On apprécie le calme sur la terrasse au petit déjeuner ainsi que la possibilité de se rafraîchir dans la piscine avec souvent peu de monde voir personne : appréciable par rapport aux grands complexes. Très bon rapport qualité prix. La salle de bains serait certes à rénover, mais le prix ne serait pê plus aussi compétitif... Hôtel à 500m de la plage. Parking privé.

Stayed at hotel in April, during shoulder season. Wonderfully quiet, tucked back off Main Street, but walking distance to Matala Beach. Older, small hotel, with all rooms having a door and window facing the outside, which we appreciated, for sunlight and fresh air. Though simple and dated, the room was comfortable and clean. Still early and chilly for swimming in the pool and the ocean, but we knew that would be the case. Nice Greek breakfast buffet served by staff. Try the mountain tea. Staff were wonderfully friendly and professional, making our stay enjoyable. We recommend short visits to the archaeological sites of Phaestos Palace and Gortyna European Law Code (and Temples of Egyptian and Apollo) in the earlymornings, then spending the afternoons at the beach.
