    Great hotel

    The only issue was I couldn’t use the aircon. Because it smelt of mold when I turned it on - the smell was awful so I didn’t use it I tried to clean it with wipes I bought and it was full of black. This needs to be cleaned professionally. However as it was located next to the sea I moved the bed near the patio and slept with the doors open I was on the third floor so it was ok

    The hotel was right on the beach I had a wonderful room with lots of space and the most incredible balcony! Looking at the sea with the perfect view of the sunset to the left. The staff and facilities were amazing! The location perfect

    A little nice beach-front hotel at the west end of Malia beach
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Studio with Pool View
    • Stayed 5 nights

    The plumbing has always been the problem with this hotel. But in the past few years they have renovated and improved bath rooms. My room's plumbing was also renovated, but the toilet bowl still had minor leak. This used to be a quite reasonable bargain hotel, but with renovation and inflation, it is not cheap any more. I hope they won't raise the price any higher.

    I return to this property every summer. The owner is my friend and quite nice. The hotel is located directly at the west end of Malia beach. The location is a little far from Malia center so it's relatively quiet. There is a small nice pool between the beach and the property. The room is specious and has a useful kitchen. You can dry washed underwear on the cloth hanger outside. The beauty of sunrise on the horizon of the ocean viewed from this property is unparalleled and stunning. It is not a bargain hotel any more but it is not a bad choice in busy Malia.

    Could have cleaned under the beds (was dusty) but that is a minor thing. A toaster would be a handy addition to the room.

    Everything was very convenient: Hotel, pool, cafe and sea front all within metres of each other. Atmosphere was great: very relaxed, family feel, staff were very welcoming.

    Small complaint regarding the shower head wall holder. Bit flimsy and cheap :-( The water pressure was excellent but the wall holder couldn't hold the shower head at full pressure so would fly off and spray water all over the shower room. Apart from that it was excellent.

    The beach, the view, the pool and the staff were all excellent. Clean room and clean towels every other day. Tasty food, good selection of drinks and nothing was too much trouble for the lovely staff. The fact it is family run makes such a difference because they genuinely care. Would definitely stay again!

    Location is fab, sea view is amazing. We asked for another bed as my mum is elderly and needed more space and sharing was uncomfortable for her due to joint pain . We went out the first day and returned to a second bed in the room. Amazing service from the hotel went above and beyond

    The bathroom had some plumbing issues. We could use a little bit of introduction with what is available, wifi, excursions etc, and the staff could be more chatty - but maybe it was a language problem.

    Proximity to the beach. Big apartment with an overview of the sea. Listening to sea waves crashing while you sleep is a super relaxing experience. Proximity to shops and restaurants. Rooms were always kept clean and tidy!

    The property was great and get service from hotel staff. The only thing was that our key was hard to open our door and close our door.

    the food was amazing at the restaurant and great location for clubs and bars walking distance. We also had a pool and beach right outside of our hotel rooms

    The view from our two rooms was the wonderful roaring sea. The family run hotel felt like home from home. Nothing was too much trouble. Because of the hotels position on the coast, it wasn't possible to have too many sunbeds on the beach in front of the hotel. This was not the case, the nearer you get to the centre of Malia. There were plenty of sunbeds around the clean pool, and those on the beach were very reasonably priced, unlike some of the bigger resorts that we saw. The restaurant bar served varied breakfast options and light snacks, and one could ask for something from your sunbed, and the attentive and helpful staff would bring it to you, luxury! Yanis's Freddo Cappuccino was perfect! A Ten minute walk to supermarkets and good restaurants. We would return!

    Please calibrate your expectations: it is value for money hotel, not luxary facility.

    Hotel is located on the beach, sunbeds around pool are free. Beach is clean, there are enough beds for visitors (6-10 euro in September) Room is not big, but have necessary equipment: mini-fridge, stovetop, kettle, spoons, etc. There is either terrace or balcony, so you may enjoy your breakfast with sea view. We spend 5 days already here and like location much: shops and taverns are in 5-10 distance walk, rent a car and travel agencies are also close to it. Room cleaning happens every day. Staff is extremely helpful.

    Room for improvement

    The floors are thin, we could hear everything the people upstairs did (e.g walking, using the toilet, throwing up etc). The room could use more things, there were no chairs in the room, only outside. Kitchen was ill-equipped, there was no dishsoap, washcloth, oven etc. Also no shower gel. No place to wash clothes. The most disturbing part was that anyone could enter the hotel area and there were constantly people using the pool who were not staying at the hotel. We felt there was no privacy. The free chairs around the pool were really dirty. Only given one worn out pillow but you can ask for more. The lighting in the room was very poor and the water pressure from the shower very small. Our comments are just things the hotel can improve on and we are not attacking the owners. Last recommendation would be to answer people's feedback more pleasantly, these are things that can make the stay even better, the answers so far have been very rude.

    The pool. Water was warm and pool was clean. The beach. Location was good. Renovated bathroom. The staff Sofia and Alex. The AC. Not taking into account our neighbours, the place was quiet during night time.
