NLH MATI Seafront - Neighborhood Lifestyle Hotels

We just needed somewhere to stay before an early flight from Athens, and this worked out more than fine. Everyone on staff was extremely nice and helpful, and breakfast was great. The rooms are basic, but clean and well kept. There’s also a nice pool and access to the beach. We enjoyed the nearby meat restaurant, Faros meet.

The staff were lovely from start to finish. When our daughter developed a fever, the front desk helped arrange an on-site doctor, and the chef made her something special to eat. I liked the grilled salmon, breakfast was pretty good, and the restaurant team gets 10/10 from me. They even made an oat milk latte when the machine only had regular milk. We stayed two nights in a Mountain Suite just after flying from Canada. Our toddler’s room had enough space for our luggage, but the shaded window coverings didn’t block the light well enough for daytime naps or sleeping in. The bedroom curtains weren’t blackout either. With jet lag we weren’t sleeping much anyway, but I’d consider bringing a SlumberPod or portable blackout curtains. The travel crib was set up beside our bed, which seemed comforting for our daughter, though that wasn’t what we’d planned. The rooms were very clean. We heard barking dogs and street noise from motorcycles until around 10 p.m. The windows aren’t soundproof, though I imagine the sea-facing rooms are quieter. The pool was chilly in September because it wasn’t heated, but the view was lovely. The beach was decent, with sandy water, though there were no chairs to lounge on below. I’d stay again, but I’d choose a sea-view room even if it were smaller.

Breakfast was a treat, with plenty of fresh fruit, different egg options, pastries, meats and deli meats, cheeses, vegetables, jams, and spreads. There were fresh juices and coffee, and the indoor and outdoor seating both had gorgeous sunrise views. Our room was spacious and clean, and the hotel staff provided excellent service. It’s a quiet, peaceful spot with direct beach access and an outdoor pool overlooking the sea. The stay was relaxing, and getting there took only about 30 minutes by taxi from the airport. I’d highly recommend it.

The staff were the real standout for me. They were incredibly good at what they do and kept smiling, which I haven’t seen in a long time. The food and amenities were great too. It’s an amazing place for a holiday, with comfortable beds, good rooms, great views, and large balconies. Thank you for everything!
