The property is around less than 1 km from Matala beach, 11 km from Phaistos and 14 km from Museum of Cretan Ethnology. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, a concierge service and organising tours for guests. I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Matala Hostel! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality that made me feel like a special guest. The highlight for me was definitely the inviting swimming pool, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The staff, led by Adam the manager, went above and beyond to ensure my stay was enjoyable. Names like Sophie, Tobias, Theo, Caroline, and many others made my time here unforgettable with their friendly and helpful demeanor. I highly recommend Matala Hostel for anyone looking for a welcoming atmosphere and exceptional hospitality. Can't wait to return!
