Where to stay with pets in Matala

I like everything there: the rooms, the breakfast, the garden, the hospitality of Olimpios (the owner of the hotel), the swimming pool

If you are lucky enough your afternoon around the magnificent pool will enchanted by Olympios mandoline and songs. Breakfast are following a tight schedule but the food quality is premium

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

Thank you, Armonia for the three wonderful holidays! I'm trying to get there again in September 2022

I've stayed at this hotel three times. It is my favorite hotel on the island of Crete

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

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

We were initially booked in at another hotel, but when we got there we were extremely disappointed. So we went looking for another hotel and came upon Fragiskos Hotel. The staff were friendly and understanding

Great staff, room, food , and location (right next to Matala beach). We would stay here again!

They showed us to a room, which was very big and had a nice balcony. We took the room for the week. The breakfast was amazing, so much choice. All the staff made it their job to accommodate your needs

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 breakfast was perfect with everything you need

If you are looking for the luxury of a 5-star hotel, look elsewhere. The priority here is the atmosphere, maximum cleanliness, the effort to fulfill every wish of the guest. A few minutes' walk to the center or the beach

We had a very nice and clean room, the breakfast is very good, the swimming pool is very nice and the location is great, the owners are very friendly and helpful. We would like to come back to this hotel again

It was very clean and quiet. Good breakfast and nice people. Exellent please to relax

We've been there twice in a row and it's always great. The owners (Cornelia and Michael) are extremely nice, as well as the related guests, all one big family

Super friendly staff and great accommodations for a great price!

Lots of cats in the premises, good for cats lovers and bad for people allergic to cats

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.

Very good AC, and breakfast, bathroom is very limited but managable, very friendly dog (im scared of dogs but wasnt scared of this one very cute), pool area was amazing as well, very clean pool

They also have plenty of parking spaces and a big fluffy bonus for dog lovers!

Very sleepy dog attached for cute purposes

I had a lovely time in this beautiful hotel. The staff are very friendly and the property is very well kept. The beach is only a five minute walk and there are lots of shops and restaurants in the area

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

The rooms and restaurant were spotlessly clean. Breakfast abundant and with a lot of choices. The owner very friendly and helpful. We loved the musquito screens, which allowed us to sleep with the balcony door open

Room 15 Family type hotel that Marina, her husband and her daughter have run for a long time, very friendly people who made us have a pleasant stay, thank you to you Located 1 km from the center of Matala on a gentle slope which allows a short walk in the evening after dinner Functional room, well cleaned regularly during our 3-week stay Classic breakfast from 8 a

We had a lovely stay at this hotel. The place was clean and comfortable, and the breakfast was very good. The staff were kind and welcoming, and the owner was nice to us, which made our stay even more enjoyable

We only used the airco for a few hours, but it was working very well. If you have mobility problems ask for a room near the restaurant, so that you don't have to use the stairs that lead to the other rooms

Hotel Melissa was absolutely fantastic! Very quiet, because it wasn't near the noisy center of Matala. The swimming pool wasn't cold even though the weather was still rather cool

Great place for calm family holidays. The hotel is comfortable and very cozy. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the food is very good

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

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

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

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 bird on the pine trees in the garden

Beautiful and relatively peaceful experience. We felt very welcome and at home in the room just by the pool

From the moment we arrived, George and Joanna were warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile

Our room was bright, spotless, and comfortable, with a beautiful view overlooking the mountains of Crete — such a peaceful sight to wake up to each morning. The location couldn’t have been better

Lovely hotel with a great location in Matala, just 2 minutes from the beach and all the bars/restaurants. Spotlessly clean and good cold buffet breakfast with eggs, cereal, yogurt, fruit, breads & cakes

The rooms are spacious enough, have a kettle and a fridge. The terrace is nice, while the hotel garden is beautiful. The staff is attentive and helpful (thanks to Anastasia and Ioannis)

For me, the location was important to keep distances short and relatively quiet, as well as WiFi

Eva Marina offered the perfect mix of comfort, hospitality, and authentic Cretan charm. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Nikos hotel in Matala was a magical place to stay. Not only for it's perfect location but also for the comfort and luxurious feel

Absolutely unique hotel, friendliness in abundance, clean and perfect location.

First of all my stars explanation. If room was located elsewhere it's a 2 stars, not a 4

The courtyard is delightful, with pretty flowers and trees that give great shade on a hot day. The staff are wonderful and made my husband and I feel at home. I highly recommend Nikos Hotel

Small, spotlessly clean room on the edge of the small town so nice and quiet. It includes parking just up the lane. The buffet breakfast is cheap and delicious.

Fabulous, relaxing place in Matala. Breakfast was delightful in the beautiful garden. Very clean, comfortable, and close to the beach.

The current situation of hungry, unsterilized cats leads to overpopulation and suffering. This is causing distress both to the animals and to guests

Situation in/around Matala is extremely bad, up to cats poisoning by exasperated; I did not find any local stray cats feeding/sterilization charity !

As already identified multiple time in previous evaluation, there are many stray cats in/ around the hotel, most clearly in need for food and care

The hotel management should organise sterilization and sufficient feeding stations. They are quiet and nice cats; many are/could be domestic ones

Stray cats are everywhere in Creta; I did only see worst in Cyprus with mistreatment and dying cats. Greece is worse than Africa on this topic

Until hotel management act, if you’re still planning to stay here and if you care about these animals, help: feed them discretely/sign on-line survey to authorities/donate to Creta association/adopt and/or continue lobbying hotel management

The location is excellent—right next to the bus stop, just a 5–7 minute walk to the beach, and close to the city center. The room had a proper renovation, the air conditioning worked perfectly, and I slept comfortably

you can get a private room with a double bed and nice AC, there is a mini fridge, and right next to the bus stop if you are coming from heraklion bus station, you will have to change buses halfway through however

Staff and guests were incredible and hospitable, made the experience one of my favourites at any stay!!! And the pool was lovely

excellent hostel, friendly people run by young people, they organise evenings such as eating out or pub crawls, etc

The staff were great...so helpful.

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).
