love the Ambrosia Hotel

This is the second time I have stayed at the Ambrosia Hotel in Malia, Crete and was offered a mountain view which is the best side as sea view is a little obscured by buildings and can be a little noisy with transfer buses and quads. I love staying at this hotel, Maria and Kostas are very accommodating and will do their very best to make sure your stay is comfortable at all times. They speak a little in several languages so communication is excellent for anyone that stays at The Ambrosia Hotel. If you prefer to stay by the pool, Maria & Phillip are on hand all the time for meals and drinks and will even bring them to your sunbeds which are free. If you prefer to sit at the bar there is never a dull moment as their is always laughs with the conversation. The beach is a short walk from the hotel, the sand & sea is beautiful and you can walk a good way into the sea. If you like nightclubs then there is Beach Road which is a strip of clubs. There are lots of restaurants locally to eat and all are in a short walking distance.

Remote, peaceful but still close to strip & beach

This hotel is a nice family run place and the staff are always accommodating & friendly. We stayed here for 10 days and ate at the pool bar a few times, the food is good and cheap. Shout out to Phil for the figs!

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Aucune isolation, claquement des portes, odeur peu agréable dans la salle de bain, coupure d'eau. L'hôtel mérite une sacrée rénovation. C'était tellement insupportable que après la deuxième nuit, nous avons chercher un autre hôtel. Je ne recommande pas du tout cet hôtel pour les familles.

allez ailleurs si possible

Chambre sur la rue très bruyante, pas de personnel à la réception, ni lors de mon appel téléphonique pour avoir de l'aide pour trouver l'hôtel (très mal indiqué dans une jungle d'hébergements), ni à mon arrivée (il a fallu que je cherche dans les couloirs alors que le réceptionniste se reposait près de la piscine !!!!). Salle de bain en état pitoyable, chasse d'eau qui se remplit sans arrêt et finit par déborder, digne d'une caricature. Vaut à peine les 25 euros payés. Seul bon point, le petit déjeuner face à la piscine, ....à payer en supplément, comme la clim.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Hotel bien situé mais insalubre.

Nous sommes arrivés la nuit. Personne pour nous recevoir. La chambre ne correspondait pas à ce que nous avions reservé. Ce qu’on peut appelé «salle de bain » etait tout simplement horrible. Elle etait sale, pleine de moisissures sur les murs, avec une fenetre qui ne ferme pas et donne sur le balcon de quelqu’un d’autre. Affreux. La climatisation est en supplement de 7 euros par jour : ce n’est pas specifié. Le coffre est en supplement à 10 euros. La piscine n’est pas propre bien qu’elle soit agreable puisque personne n’y va. Ne prennez pas cet hotel pour esperer vous y detendre. La literie est de tres mauvaise qualité et vous dormez dans de tous petits lits. La seule chose positive c’est qu’il est situé pas tres loin de la ville de malia.

Hôtel simple, très proche plage et restos

Hôtel simple tenu par des gens simples. Ils parlent anglais. Agréable piscine avec bar où il est possible de prendre un petit déjeuner et des boissons mais le mieux pour le même prix est d'aller prendre le petit dejeuner au bord de la mer. La douche nous a complètement deçue car on mettait de l'eau de partout (ni rideau ni étanchéité). Sinon il y avait un frigo où on pouvait stocker nos bouteilles d'eau ! Le bus est un peu éloigné mais pas cher environ 4€ le trajet. Nous avons préféré louer un scooter pour être plus libres et vraiment nous ne regrettons pas nos balades à travers les petits villages et à travers les campagnes et les oliviers ! Les routes sont en mauvais état donc prudence car dangereux ! Les tavernes de la rue sont toutes delicieuses ! Pour revenir à la chambre pour 25€ la nuit il n'est pas possible d'être exigeant ! Les draps sont propres et les serviettes changées tous les 3 jours (un peu comme à la maison !) le calme n'est pas au rendez-vous: quads et autres véhicules circulent toute la nuit. Les voisins de paliers ne sont pas respectueux ils parlent forts et chantent en pleine nuit... Sans parler des talons... Il n'y a pas de réception ! La clé est cachée ! Il faut tomber sur de gentilles personnes qui voudront bien vous l'indiquer ou alors appeler Maria mais son numéro est à l'intérieur et quand on ne sait pas rentrer faut prier pour croiser quelqu'un !

gut, sehr aufmerksame und freundliche Gastgeberin

Gut, hat alles gepasst. :-) Gepflegte Liegewiese und gute Bar mit fairen Preisen. Eine einfachere Unterkunft, die zwar nicht mehr ganz auf dem neuesten Stand ist was man z.T. auch sieht, jedoch absolut sauber ist und mit liebe von der Besitzerfamilie betreut wird. Preis -Leistungsverhältnis sehr gut. Kommen gerne wieder.
