Double room appears to have been recently renovated. Comfy bed, good ceiling fan and great air conditioning. Plentiful breakfast included. Very close to town and the beach. Two pools, we only used once each. Had beach towels available, as well as a kettle and a blow dryer. Really a great value for the location and breakfast included.
Shower only had a glass wall on one side so the sink and bathroom floor got wet during showers. The loungers around the pool were claimed by guests all day. Lots of smoking by guests, especially at the pool and by the entrance to the main building. It is a much larger facility than we were expecting, maybe 80 rooms. Not good or bad, but most of the guests were all inclusive guests.

Great location, right in front of the Mátala beach. Room was big and spacious. Hotel has a big structure with two pools and a big parking lot.
I don't know if it is common in the low season (end of May). They delivered us only the keys for the room, When we return from dinner, we felt the room was a bit hot. We were willing to turn on the A/C, but we didn´t have the remote to turn on. We called the reception, and the person in charge could not help and asked us to ask again in the morning. The shower does not have protection and the bathroom gets all wet. Breakfast is ok, but does not have a smooth reposition of some itens like pancakes.

Fantastic breakfast. Greek, continental and full English breakfast. Very close to the beach, about 200 meters. Large parking. Bus stop is 50 meters away. 2 swimming pools. Room with airconditioning and a small balcony. Small issue with the airconditioning, was resolved the next day.
Shower has no protection from the shower head. Water will splash the sink and floor. Bathroom door is transparent. Light from the tv and airco is quite bright. Mattress is quite hard.

A spacious room with a comfortable bed. The hotel is a short walk from the amazing Matala beach and caves. It is also minutes from the town, restaurants and the old tree where live music takes place at night. The breakfast was delicious, with a good choice and a nice view over the beach. Staff were friendly. Easy parking.
I wasn't expecting to be across the car park to a building away from the main part of the hotel. However, in fairness, this area had its own pool. There was no view from our balcony. It was difficult to keep the water in the shower due to its layout.

Hotel Fragiskos preserves memories from the time of the Hippies. There are details from that time everywhere. Our rooms were in the newly built part of the hotel. The rooms are spacious, clean and very comfortable. This part of the hotel has a nice pool behind it and a very quiet and relaxing ambiance. The hotel is divided by a rather large dusty parking lot, you have to walk to the main building where the dining room is. In fact, the hotel is right next to the beach and the famous caves above the beach. The stay at the hotel was very pleasant and it is recommended!

Easy access to the beach, nice, looked after surroundings, interior public spaces nice and relaxing. Staff pleasant and helpful. Quite even though close to the Matala music festival.
The beds a bit too hard. Would be nice to have tea/ coffee service in your room. A hairdryer is standard in most hotels now and would have been nice. Lack of sun beds so arrived at 3.00 and all beds taken or with towels on them.

Nice hotel in front of Matala beach, 3 mins walk from the center of town. Rooms basic, clean and comfortable with air con. Breakfast was plentiful. Pleasant staff. Overall good value for menu.

The room and location was great! Walking distance from the beach and village. Matala is small, so everything was close-by. Free parking and large room! Matala in general was a very nice place to stay. It's touristy but it doesn't feel over crowded.
The breakfast was a bit odd, the offer was good but the tables where they present the food are scattered around the breakfast area. Took us a while to understand how this worked.

Very spacious and new room with balcony. The hotel is very close to the beach and even has a pool. Plenty of parking available. Breakfast buffet was very good and so was the optional buffet for dinner, which is excellent value.
Wifi didn't work in the room, but ok in other areas
