Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Unfortunately the room didn’t look like in the pictures, everything is very old (the furniture, the wall it’s very old paint and the balcony door had a problem I couldn’t close.) You never find anyone in the reception area, if you need anything you need to go to the bar and ask where is the receptionist. The breakfast very poor, everyday the same thing.

Really good location for the bars & restaurants and short walk to the beach. The staff are really friendly and go out of their way to help if asked. The pool area is really nice, quiet and relaxing. The breakfast is not brilliant but there is a taverna next door which does a full English for €4 so not a disaster. Would definitely come here again.

Convenient hotel but basic
Very mediocre hotel which needs updating,the cooking smells wafted into our room down a corridor wi -fi was very poor room very basic but clean. They seemed to put more effort into the Bar area which is in the front of the hotel with happy hour etc,which would not interest me I think the whole area in Malia is more suited to under 25s and this hotel would be fine for them.

Great little budget hotel
3 of us shared a studio apartment which was basic but had everything we needed. The room itself was spacious and had a lovely little balcony. The apartment was very clean, there was a well equipped kitchenette and air con. Located within stumbling distance from the main strip but far enough away not to hear any noise. The main plus for me was the hospitality of the staff, they were so friendly and happy to accommodate our every need. The hotel not only had a lovely big pool but they served excellent cocktails too. I would highly recommend this hotel for anybody staying in Malia

Ein sehr schönes und tolles Hotel. Ich habe Halbpension gebucht. Das Essen ist sehr lecker, das Personal sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das Frühstück und das Abendessen ist zwar sehr lecker, aber nicht besonders abwechslungsreich (Frühstück weniger als das Abendessen). Die Lage ist too, da das Hotel sehr zentral ist und sich trotzdem gleichzeitig ruhig in einer Seitenstraße befindet. Bars, Clubs, Markets, etc. sowie der Strand sind fußläufig in wenigen Minuten erreichbar. Die Zimmer sind sauber und in Ordnung. Ich empfehle das Hotel auf jeden Fall weiter. Aber das Hotel ist besser für diejenigen geeignet, die ihren Urlaub nicht im Hotel verbringen möchten, sondern den Urlaubsort erkunden möchten und das Hotel nur für das Schlafen/Erholen, Frühstücken und Abendessen nutzen möchten.
