This is a great beach hotel. It’s older (think roadside motel from the 1950s) but it has been retrofitted with tiny private bathrooms. It’s immaculately clean. The shower is so small, I couldn’t stand with my hands on my hips or bend over when I dropped something. But the water was hot and it’s functional despite a miniscule sink. We had a nice room on the top floor with a large balcony from which we could see Matala bay and the beach. The beds were not that comfortable with thin mattresses. I liked the old polished wood in the lobby. The place has gleaming marble-like floors throughout including on the stairs. The stairs were a tad slippery but there are handrails. The whole place has a low key beachy vibe. The breakfast offerings were meager but bread, cheese, cereal & pastry were filling enough. The outside patio was lush with plants and made a nice oasis. There was also a bar & some inside tables but the bar never seemed to be open. The staff always had a warm greeting and a smile for guests but there was a sense that they were not open to chit chat. (that may just be my American perspective) Up in back there is a huge pool with lots of lounge chairs. It looked like there was a bar area. It was too cold for the pool to be opened but it is probably a rockin’ place in season. There is a tiny parking lot that fits about 6 cars if everyone parks neatly & courteously. There are for-pay lots about a block away. Everything in town is in easy walking distance.

We arrived in Matala without booking a room and decided we liked the look of Hotel Zafiria. We were not disappointed. Our room was en uite with a great hot shower (not always the case in Cretre). It was clean nd comfortable. The staff were chatty and always helpful. Room rate included a buffet breakfast

Although the hotel is past its prime, it is clean, with daily cleaning and friendly service. Fantastic location, right opposite the "hippie tree" at the entrance to the village. It has a large restaurant (plus a cafe and bar) overlooking the setting sun over the bay. In addition to the traditional Cretan hospitality, you can feel the hippie atmosphere of the 1960s at every step.

The hotel has a very small car park but there is a car park nearby, the one at the beach for €3. The hotel is very well located in the center of Matala and right next to the beach. The rooms are a good size and clean, the bathroom is new and the staff are very friendly. Not too much choice for breakfast if you don't eat salty food!

Hotel Zafiria is located right at the beginning of the main street. Fairly small standard room, but complete with TV, air conditioning, refrigerator, safe, WiFi, good bed. Bathroom with shower cabin, toilet, sink, hairdryer. Large breakfast area, inside and outside. Small private parking lot, otherwise free parking along the road in the area or paid parking in one of the larger car parks. Swimming pool with sufficient beds, pool bar. Few shaded areas.

C'è tutto ciò che è essenziale per una vacanza rilassante. La posizione: all'ingresso del paese, a pochissimi passi dalla spiaggia e a poca distanza dai parcheggi. Nonostante sia sulla strada centrale, vicino a negozi e locali, non abbiamo avuto problemi a dormire con la finestra socchiusa ( e la nostra stanza aveva l'affaccio su strada). La camera: la nostra aveva una metratura standard , letti comodi , sedie, sgabelli, "panca " per appoggiare i bagagli. Nonostante le alte temperature, la stanza era fresca e non è stato necessario accendere il condizionatore. Comodissimo, inoltre, il piccolo frigorifero . Il bagno era piccolino, ma ben organizzato . Ogni camera ha un balcone, attrezzato con tavolino e sedie. Quelli al secondo piano sono molto spaziosi, ma separati da un muretto basso che limita un pochino la privacy. Impeccabile la pulizia della camera e degli ambienti comuni. Colazione servita in un ampia sala o sotto una veranda, dove talvolta gironzolano dei bei mici ( ciò accade nella maggior parte dei locali di Matala). Un buffet con alimenti dolci e salati, alcuni freschi ed altri industriali, in linea con la categoria dell' hotel. A disposizione dei clienti : una piscina con angolo bar, un bar , un'ampia hall, un parcheggio non grandissimo e libri in varie lingue. Personale cordiale e gentilissimo, pronto ad aiutare e fornire suggerimenti, anche in Italiano. Noi siamo stati benissimo. L'ambiente era tranquillo e silenzioso: certo questo dipende anche dagli ospiti. Consigliato per chi bada all'essenziale .

Direkt am Eingang zum Zentrum von Matala gelegen, nur wenige Schritte zum Strand. Zeitgemäß renovierte, sehr kleine Zimmer. Absolut dicht schließende neue Balkontür. Alte, laute Klimaanlage und Kühlschrank. Zimmertüren schließen recht laut. Die Putzkolonne weckt das gesamte Hotel um 8 Uhr mit Türenklappen und lautem Bettenrücken auf - Ohrstöpsel helfen hier. Geputzt wird leider nicht so viel: unter dem Bett türmt sich der Staub. Das Frühstück würde ich wohlwollend mal als 'minimalistisch' bezeichnen: dunkles+helles Brot, 2 Sorten geschmacksneutraler Aufschnitt+Käse, Fabrikkuchen und Joghurt mit Dosenfrüchten. Dazu der typische Hotelkaffee. Wenn man das 14 Tage ohne jede Variation hat, muss man danach erst mal gut frühstücken gehen...

Octobre 2021, personnel à l’accueil un peu froid, ferme dirais-je, malgré tout, a fournit l’effort pour coller les 2 lits simples pour en faire un grand. Stationnement payant à proximité 3 euros. Belle terrasse. Petit déjeuner correct, sans plus. Il ne faut pas avoir de grandes attentes, par contre, parfait pour une nuit.
