The hotel we have to the end of the season visited. All employees were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is located somewhat away from Malia, however the way on footh of 20 minutes ( car a maximum of 5 minutes ) to the sea respectively to the center didn't bother us. There only 6 guests in the house were us the breakfast individually provided. Everything was very nicely and attentive decorated. I would the hotel for couples definitely recommendable. read more

Informally run hotel to relax and as a starting point for excursions ( car required- also at the front desk be booked) we were instead of ours, over the tour operator booked room, a superior room offered, whereby the price at booking only for one person quoted (!), although it is a double room and also only in the pay then we were told, that the price per person. Room was also great, good view and very clean and bright, air conditioning, safe and fridge than included. As mentioned in lots of reviews to read was, are in the neighborhood ... lots of dogs, what not kept species-appropriate and as a result then day and night with Dauergebell respond, but this is not about the hotel respectively the management and employees. It is a great view over the town to the sea without echoing off or animation to be seen. The food is freshly cooked, yes but also leftovers of days before with processed, but everything tasty. What we missed was an' Greek Abend' with typical specialties. On the day of departure we were half an hour before breakfast picked up, what we also in the evening previously pointed out, it was however not made possible have been, rather for breakfast, although the employees already with the preparation were employed. So we had to go hungry to leave and on the sandwich in the airplane wait. That was for us a downside in the service, since we this meal as a part of the half board with had paid. read more

Family-run small hotel with a lot of charm and hospitality. Specialization on guests from D, A, CH, NL, and gigabyte. Great for tourists and enterprising. Because the hotel circa 15-minute walk away from beach is, you had the advantage the parties gets to May. WiFi is included! Half board in buffet-Form and with plenty of variety for travelers with 1 week stay. Pool, jacuzzi and the other Hygiene is impeccable. If you sociable and evenings not in the room includes can at the bar also wonderful conversation with staff and hosts lead. The observed guests clientele ranges from families with ... small children on the youth to pension recipients. Overall I can the current extremely high recommendation rate only confirm and all a visit recommend. read more

A really beautiful, informally run hotel, in the we felt very much at ease. It is right here in this forum mostly reviewed positively. In particular the pleasant ambience, the simple fact is, that you here much easier to other guests contact gets as in one of the Barracks, the but also because of the kind care by hotelier develops, certainly have their share of the relaxation factor. It was our first time in Greece and admittedly due to the political location with mixed feelings come. Our fears have been however completely unbegründeterwiesen, we had the impression, the Cretan especially ... friendly to her German guests wanted to be, in order to alleviate the negative pictures from the tv forget. We will definitely again again, where we Hotel Matheo find, we know now! read more

As in the travel agency requested, we were in a 'small' ( according the homepage 200 persons-) hotel accommodated, the hotel Matheo. We had a standard room with half board booked. After arrival we were for a extra charge of 25 euros per night a 'suite' on the grounds offered. To visit the great and spacious suite we have however for our standard room with beautiful view of the sea and views across Malia decided. This was enough for us, since we anyway only for sleeping there anyway. During our stay ( between the summer- and fall in Germany) was ... the guest structure very mixed and absolutely pleasant. At the age of around 20 to 70 and persons different nationalities ( mainly German and swiss) the hotel was not overcrowded and you came quickly with other travellers to the conversation. The hotel complex is altogether very tidy and clean. The anlagenbilder agree absolutely with the reality match. Yes, there are road animals (dogs and cats) in Greece. And surprise yes, this move also times in the hotel complex ( only outside!). How can it however be different, that cats arrange vacations place to hang out, if these of these fed and stroked are. For this the hotel can however nothing. Therefore understand the negative statements other reviewer not. For our stay ran in two evenings ( afterwards this was not seen) a young tame dog on the terrace rum and the other evenings a few young cats. The animals were however never intrusive or annoying. You leave these 'left' they are also fast away. To consultation with other vacations in other hotels is this problem but everywhere directly. So either you live so, or you can go into a fully self-contained hotel, or are looking for even another holiday destination! read more

    Standard says standard! The two made wooden beds have something the charm a youth hostel. The mattresses are a hard to describe ( matter of taste - for me really, for my girlfriend too hard. Color the room was nicely decorated. The small wooden table in the room belonging chair was not to use, as this already burden with a pocket almost collapsed. The room had a small flat screen with enough German tv-channels on the wall. The inside shower bath was simple and getting a bit old ( for example could of the toilet-seat be replaced). Surprised had us, that there was no shower curtain was. ( perhaps we were the exception?!) thus stood after each showering the bathroom underwater and could only after dry or after cleaning by the waiters back entrance. Our small balcony with a view of the sea had two typical plastic chairs and a plastic table, as everyone knows.

    The kitchen style was German! On the first evening we were with amongst others with pork and mashed potatoes (later with Wiener Schnitzel or Gulasch, yes we know not typically German ;-) surprised. Also at the other evenings we missed something food typical of the country. Well, it gave beside German salads ( for example noddle salad) every day fresh greek salad and much tsatsiki with really fresh olives. The food even was fantastic, so we have no evening ventured out to a restaurant. Breakfast is, we would say, the stars. Every day there was bread, toast and rolls ( plus small croissants), several jams, cheese, ham, fresh tomatoes, feta cheese, cereals and yoghurt. The real coffee machine ( amongst others with Cappuccino etc.) should be renewed once. As frequent coffee drinkers but there are a few better coffee used. The breakfast and dinner we have always on the beautiful and large terrace to us. From this you have a wonderful view on the swimming pool, over Malia and on the sea. Used plates etc. Were never more than 3 minutes on the table, until this cleared. Gladly we sat each evening with beer or one of the many cocktails ( everything at fair prices) with other guests on the terrace.

    The three German speaking greeks (two very nice women and their brother) have exceedingly friendly welcome. They were with car hire and when booking an external boat helpful. A short call from the hotel and everything was sorted. In the afternoon stay by the pool, during and after the dinner we never had to on a drink wait. Gladly chatted one of the three 'offer' with the guests, inquired about the plans the next days and was always help. As the searches are met had, brought us even the hotel boss evenings at o'clock cigarettes from the town with. So what is for sure not of course. The rooms were daily and above all cleaned. Only once (sunday) we were, we go over time, forget, as we the cleaning staff still seen.

    The pool is appropriately large (see pictures). There is a small round baby pool and what surprised us, a covered jacuzzi, which also all day could be used. The pool area is loud signs until o'clock to use. Food and drinks according to the sign at the pool area desired. There the restaurant however borders directly, this was to be hurt. The swimming pool was very well-kept. Every evening was a' pool boy' to the hotel to see.

    To the center it is only approximately 10 to 15 minutes downhill. Several beaches, depending upon desire small and cozy or crowded and with 'remmi demmi' perhaps are it 20 minutes on foot. Malia is really, like us prior to already reported, the' Ballermann' of crete. The lots of bars and discos were however during our stay ( the end of the season) not well-attended and all open. We had a day a quad and afterwards 3 days a car borrowed. This is definitely necessary, if you not only the whole time on one of the beaches from Malia or if you don't by bus in one of the neighboring towns to drive would like. Kreta itself has for at least two weeks stay and with a car very many beautiful larger and especially smaller towns to offer. Sights ( we saw amongst others the lasithi-plateau with the Zeus-cave, Matala ( the 'hippie-place' with the great hippy caves in the mountain) the palm tree vai (location of the known bounty advertising) and popular places in the surrounding area.

  • Gastronomy

    The average review from 5.4 of 6 points in the gastronomy was for us unfortunately not comprehensible. We are business, as well as already privately in many men countries and all we had made descended. We are not raised in our expectations, but not: cold scrambled egg (, because the hotplate while it is, but not heated,. 4 pastries are adequate at best, but it should be just are available. Every second day was around 09:00-that would be the half only white bread available - and it was not refilled. What you would expect would also be a reasonably enjoyable kaffesorte, and instead of canned fruit perhaps once fresh fruits - also, because in the country especially good tastes. The complaints were but by other guests quickly' fixed'. During one of its own orange juice thereby, you can see the next table itself worried fruit. And a other has its own instant coffee bring along. One sees rarely. So if you essential things even there, then are 5 suns. The dinner I can't comment, after on the first evening there was no hot respectively kept warm food brought about was we have the rest of the vacation on the cold food declined.

    The service -neutral-I would say. But I other rate have, it seems as if some guests especially popular with the staff. Since we but no service use-we can also no special statement it. Only appearing strange works, that the beverages the evening konsumation loud statement the receptionist daily - after eating and at the front desk - pay are! So don't forget-otherwise you will like I to the report in/out privileges (after 5 days with me they were anyway 9,20 Euro open...) this has given the amount somewhat embarrassing-for the operator.

    location is quiet, a hired car or a motor scooter but definitely no disadvantage, since the on foot to the beach but pain can be, especially if you pick a quieter section further east would like. In the' old town' it is really only 15 minutes - here you will find very good taverns and shops.

Hotel in a peaceful location

We had extra a small, informal hotel booked, the mass tourism to be missed. Unfortunately was in the hotel much value on German kitchen put. On pork and mashed potatoes I can in the greece vacation well do without. Unfortunately there was no fruit ( except once grapes to the dessert). The mandatory greek salad was rather carelessly and was 40 per cent from large zwiebelstücken. With small changes, as offering regional cuisine, fresh fruit ( no canned peaches) and vegetables could have been much be improved. The room is for three stars reasonable, unfortunately was missing in the bathroom ... a shower curtain. Have a great boat trip, which in the hotel offered. Whoever toursitenabfertigung is happy, otherwise no thank you. Waste from the boat into the sea tilting and Russian guests have also with their food, the fish attracted. Also advertise, that one dolphin can see, we didn't see. Rather car rent and with the boat on chrissi Iceland drive. Turquoise sea, like in the paradise-) To the place: we knew, that the Ballermann the british is, because the peaceful location, then nevertheless for the hotel decided. There are many disco's and bars everywhere promoter, the A in the bar or disco want to attract, this can be very strenuous. At the beach is liege in liege, with a rental car you can well in 30 minutes dreamlike beaches come. read more

Nice peacefully located, however.

Not the, what and a internsetseite presented/was 1. hotel in general The hotel is clean and makes for a 3 star hotel a truly good impression. 2. location and the surroundings The location is very nice and you get from the noise from the street from the noise from the nightlife district Malia something with. It is therefore really peacefully located, if you from the faucet-, dogs and ziegenlauten mind, the neighboring property come, it's expense. The way to the beach (here you should go the beach the ikaros hotels use, not the dangers of unschöneren beaches, the easy to ... reach on foot are, auszuset -zen ) is near rapid step around 15 to 20 minutes. The loungers and the umbrella costs per couple 5,00 Euro Especially recommendable it is, at the beach by thailändern offered massage (30 minutes for 20,00 Euro) to use. Shops and bars there are in masses. A rental car is however recommendable, since Malia really on days sleep and only at night to life awoke and thus also the partyspuren the night on the streets recognizable are. The from the hotel advertised car rental (Sterling) we can't recommend, since we this not good experiences did. Afterwards would be a car or a moped on every other car rental cheaper and especially younger and hence have been safer. 3. service Except for the sunday are the rooms cleaned. This belong change of towels (from and to very clean and with holes \u263a and the apartment, as well as the make the beds. Glasses are unfortunately not washed, but you can live with that. To the service in general one can only say: what you don't speak to them or ordered, you get also not. Unfortunately it is really so, that you in everything even have to try, which unfortunately a great shame is. On the final day we wanted at least a fresh towel have, to us to shower, here was a towel promised, then what but also just again forgotten. Furthermore it is a great shame, that for such a small hotel with so lots of regular guests it is not even a Ouzo or similar 'on the house' despite tips, the definitely from almost every guest every evening were given. 4. dining For breakfast it was really managed, two weeks always the same anzu-offer. Time something missing, but it came definitely never something to add, which possibly for a small surprise the guest could sure. We brought coffee, juice amongst others even with. Who however not place on time was, had seen bad luck; then it was called, the food what übrigblieb. So it was unfortunately with the dinner. The dinner was apart from that reasonable, however they knew also here if you the dinner had taken, what it on the next day give. Of greek food was unfortunately nothing to remember, except for the Tzatziki and the olives. Apart from that there was lasagna, pasta, potatoes, pigs -meat, casseroles, fricassee etc. We enjoyed it, but it was certainly not everyone-manns thing. Fruit there was never fresh, but only from the can, what a country as Greece a v��l - ligwa no-go is! 5. sport, pool, entertainment The offered table was unfortunately now already 100 years too old, to use it and the ping pong table, which we gladly would have been used, could because of the missing 2. scoop not be used. Here one could really a scoop buy, the more than a wooden plank is. But probably is always hoped, that there is someone, the time just a bring along. The pool is clean, well-kept and we have also often used. The umbrella and the loungers are free of charge. The jacuzzi, the on the complex is, we also used and is really a beautiful idea. Wifi is on the complex free, which is also very good. 6. room We had a double room with lateral view of the sea booked. What us expected, was a room in a size of a single room with two beds. It was no possibility, to 2 in the room, if not an on the bed was. Closet was not really available and the bathroom was without shower curtain really completely underwater, which meant, its things before in safety should serve. The view of the sea complimented by views of the domestics for the food next to the dustbin from. So we have to a different room asked. It was nice, that this possibility there is. Unfortunately is, of course first the pay room to look at is. But well, we really for the suite decided, the then 30,00 Euro/day more costs and received our view of the sea of a large terrace and a massive room with a large bathroom and thus we were very satisfied. 7. tips and recommendation The hotel is for a three stars hotel recommendable, if you the described points-bin knows. We are when booking of the many reviews ran out and were therefore simply disappointed, that a lot not true. The two weeks in matheo was good, we have a lot with humor, as a vacation for relaxing should be. So try it! read more

    The room is for two people large enough, everything fit. Who however many clothes hang me, should a couple more take clothes hanger with. Air conditioning we had no, tv was available, however definitely not the desired German channels. In the hotel bar but a very large tv, all stations. A safe can one against a fee from 2 €on the day.

The food is very international: we got käsespätzle, pasta, potatoes and, of course, also typical greek spezialitäteten serves. Only the salad buffet remains every day similar. The atmosphere for the food is pleasant, mostly quiet. Against later this may, or other song of the regular guests are sung, but this can be not may be inconvenienced while that.

    We wanted a mixture of relaxation-/ beach vacation and partying, respectively party vacation. With this hotel this is perfect job: The hotel Matheo is located on the outskirts of the town from Malia on a slope, to the beach one runs approximately 5 to 10 minutes the beach was beautiful and not (more?) crowded. On the way to the beach you get to many shops and taverns past. From the hotel it is around 10 to 15 minutes on foot up to the party route in Malia. In the hotel could one mine, the city was deserted, because there is very quiet. But in the disco road arrived dare you its eyes and ear hardly: a bar, a club, a snack in the other. Crazy lots of young people and... Party! The clubs in the week until five o'clock in the morning opened, at the weekend even until seven o'clock. The partying is a lot cheaper, as in Germany. Also there are innumerable excursions from Malia from. Which was worth it and really pleased, is Agios Nikolaos. A coastal town with dreamlike possibilities to go swimming, the water is incredibly clear. The return trip along the coastal road was impressive, especially the island spinalonga (a visit to the island is worthwhile). Who shop wants, drives at the best to Hersonissos. There rows the tourist shops together. The 30 kilometer away Heraklion we found very disappointing and would a visit advise you not to go there.

Also here only limited view of the sea through the one before the olive trees. The front of the suite is of the terrace completely glazed, so that people at the lower part of the terrace walked if you to the other villas in the lower area again, for us very annoying, since no privacy. Curtains did not close completely, we had the existing roller shutter to use, to us in the suite free to move. Also you had to in the bedroom always the curtains or shutter to not from the outside to be seen. Little to not any possibility for towels and bathing costumes.

The hotel is from a family run, which almost the whole day for concerns of the hotel, but also excursion plans and talk are available. They are - as well as the remaining staff - always friendly and in a good mood. Almost all speak really good German and English. The former is also necessary, since a big part of the guests - including lots of regular guests - from the German-speaking area comes. The rooms are clean, -on Sunday - cleaned daily, bed sheet weekly, towels semiweekly changed. The bathroom is for southern standards quite large. Our shower ( ... I don't know, whether the represent is) had however no curtain, so the bathroom to the shower always underwater beach. Air conditioning, fridge and safe cost extra. Therefore I recommend the booking a suite at a low extra charge ( with availability still possible). There are all the extras included, the rooms are bigger and there are - for couples especially important - a general bed without crack in the middle. The breakfast buffet was varied: eggs, sausage, sausage, cheese, vegetables, Jams, honey, muesli, cereal, sweet Pastries. As varied was the dinner buffet, which several salads, varied main menu ( for example breaded fish, Souvlaki, Lasagna, Ratatoille, fries, pasta, risotto) and desserts (mostly Schokomousse, fruit, ice) included. The location of the hotel is easy off the beaten track and it was very quiet - merely stray hundebellen for and songs of birds disturb sleep. Nevertheless are beach, bars, restaurants and the party place within walking within 10 to 15 minutes reachable. For people, the rather traditional Greek evening want to spend, this old Malia (10 minutes on foot), for the, the it rather loud (and English) to have want, the Partystraßen in the newer part Malias (15 minutes on foot). The hillside of the hotel should only especially Fußschwache disturb. Alternatively you could also its rental car on the hotel's own parking free parking. Particularly the view of the sea from the balcony makes up for the slight March every time again. Complete we can hotels warmly recommend and certainly when we next Kretareise stay here again. read more

Our vacation in Hotel Matheo was really great! We especially enjoyed the cleanliness the entire area and the staff's hospitality. We were always very helpful and friendly treated. The climate in the hotel is very easy going and relaxed: really perfect to enjoy and relax! Our superior -room had a big balcony with a dreamlike view over the sea, the mountains and the city. Also the interior furnishing the room was perfect, even if you itself on an island as Kreta definitely not many in the room stay. The room would be cleaned daily ( except on Sunday) and the ... towels were also regularly changed. Altogether is the entire area very clean and tidy! As mentioned in lots of reviews written, recommend also we definitely the rent, a cars ( or rollers/quad etc.), to the wonderful island to explore ( just in the mountains and the small mountain villages and valleys discover, a dream!). Somewhat we found it a shame that the food not to our taste, respectively the salads and the dessert somewhat one-sided were. There is surely still potential of improvement. But the great view from the terrace and fair drink prices compensate the. The travel time middle September was great: during the day the 27 degrees, every day sun and at night as well still so warm, that one in the T-shirt The temperature of the water was also still warm. Therefore, the Hotel Matheo definitely recommendable! read more
