We had a wonderful stay here and were very satisfied with everything. The location is excellent, close to the main attractions and very convenient for getting around. The room was spotless, well maintained, and felt very comfortable. What impressed us most was the daily cleaning service – the room was refreshed every day, and towels were changed regularly, which made our stay even more pleasant. Another big plus is that the property has its own private parking. Everything was organized with care and attention to detail, and we truly appreciated the cleanliness and hospitality. We would gladly return and highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

Good-sized room, nicely decorated and clean, with a fridge and some crockery for the days you don't want to eat out you can fix a salad and eat on the balcony. Short walk to the beach and the nearest shop. Carpark available next to the hotel so overall great place to stay. The owner is lovely and the cleaner was very thorough, I'd return.

“Great location, close to the beach, clean, but could be upgraded by mosquito screens on the balcony door.”
The location is excellent, 5 min from the beach. The parking is free. Sophia was very nice and helpful. The room was nice and clean, it also had a small balcony for morning breakfast.

Beautiful apartment, extremely clean, it had everything i needed. Sofia was so warm and friendly. I especially liked that the room was cleaned every day, with bedding and towels replaced half way through the week.

“Great Matala location”
Small but nice and functional rooms that works well, great beds (in 201). A few kitchen items for a basic breakfast on the balcony. No juice presser (to make fresh orange juice in the mornings) but there is a 24/7 coffee shop just 200 m down the road). Location is good, just a few minutes to Matala center and easy parking (on the street or beside the house). We stayed for 4 nights and loved it. We would gladly stay here again. No tv but we then again we never use it on vacations. Sound from the hall will be heard but once guests are in their rooms we did not hear anything, nice and quiet. Maybe missing some shelves to put things.

“Basic and clean room at a good location”
Basic and clean room at a good location. We had room 203, which had airco, a fridge, a kettle, a coffee maker (for moulded coffee) and a large balcony at the back side of the room (not a great view but at least quiet and sunny). You can easily walk to the centre, it's just 10/15 mins.

The place was exactly as in the photos, everything brand new, very clean, great attention to all the details, it is really a very cute mini apartment, large windows, air conditioning and a very large fan positioned on the ceiling, very nice furnishings. The perfect kitchen, brand new and good quality pots and pans, nothing was missing. Large bathroom and very spacious kitchenette, everything brand new. Very kind owner. It was the only place in Matala that respected all the expectations.
