Fantastic location, located in the beautiful old village of Malia, but just a short walk to the party area on beach road, so best of both worlds. The staff were lovely and couldn’t do enough to help you. A large breakfast selection to suit everyone! The dinner at Sopato over the road was delicious too. They gave us a delightful sample of pizza with a welcome drink on our arrival. The pool area is at the back through a small garden and opens up to the pool with plenty of sun loungers The room was spacious and clean and the beds were very comfortable. We also received complimentary toiletries and coffee in our room on arrival.

Another hidden gem unlocked, this time on Crete. Still looking like new, good location and with its "own" restaurant just across de the street. Cute employees, delivering perfect service, from checking in to serving breakfast (which, btw, was another big surprise regarding how good it was and the way it was offered) or giving direction/information about what to do in the area. Also, I can understand a little bit of Greek, especially the "bad words", so the banter that went between them didn't go unnoticed and it was funny, especially at breakfast time. The beach is less than 15min of walking away and the old city less than 5 minutes. The "strip" with all the bars/clubs can be reached in less than 10min, same with the supermarkets. If you don't feel like walking to the beach, you can park yourself at the hotel's pool and relax. The bathrooms are clean, the shower large enough, nothing is cramped. The rooms also have a small "kitchen" area, with everything one needs. Also, pretty good AC. The restaurant is nicely decorated, on two levels and it has plenty of tables. The menu is about the same, everywhere on the island. Ate 2-3 times there, solid cooking. Parking spaces right next to the hotel (private parking, for customers).

Just one thing - some of the customers are on the "younger side" and are visiting the clubs until the morning hours. When they'll return to the hotel, they are talking loud in the hallways, slamming doors and stomping in the room above or next to you. Also, how many times do you need to move a chair, when using it, dragging it loudly on the tiled floor?! So yeah, this is the only fly in the ointment, but after all, the hotel can't be held responsible for how (bad) its customers are behaving.

The owner along his staff are fabulous hosts. Helped with all one needed, super clean room and facilities. Great restaurant with fantastic food, large room with all one needs. Highly recommended place to stay. It's definitely a hiden gem in Malia you certainly do not want to miss. Will definitely return.

very nice staff, possibility to use the swimming pool behind the hotel, restaurant belonging to the hotel across the street, wide choice of food, we were lucky, there was just an evening with Greek music

you can hear the other guests if they come back late at night and slam the door

Friendly staff, good food and close to the city Center

Owners and staff very friendly, very clean hotel, good pool, nice food.

Malia in high season but thank God this hotel is in the quiet part of Malia

literally everything ( location , modern rooms , staff , very clean) . The hotel is spotless . Good value for money.Best place to stay in Malia.

I can’t say there was something I didn’t like.

Wonderful stay. Very clean. Breakfast was tasty. Surroundings was peacful at night and the location is close to the beach and centar of Malia. The owner and the staff is very kind, helpful and it was enjoyment to talk to. Highly recommended!

Nothing

The staff was very nice, welcoming, and fun. Given that, I totally understand why this hotel has such high ratings. We also liked the location of the hotel, because it is located close to the old town where you have all the really good traditional restaurants. And the party street is within walking distance - if you feel like it. We also enjoyed the pool. It is big enough given the small size of the hotel.

The interior of the rooms is rather disappointing. Let's call it old at the very least. We also didn't like that people smoke in the breakfast area. It is not nice to go for breakfast in the early morning and have people smoke all around you.

We hoped to find (last minute) a clean, nice place with the basics. But we got so much more! Rooms are clean and spacious, the position is perfect for us because you are in the middle between the old town, and the commercial area. Breakfast is amazing, the sea view really made our week, and: the staff!! Vagelis and all the girls really make you feel at home and take care of you. You can tell that they truly love what they do! Can’t wait to go back. Home in Crete forever!
