Great Accomodation, highly recommend

Toilet too close to the cistern so the seat cover doesn't stay opened. If you are not wearing a shirt it scratches your back.

Big free parking, the staff, the whole complex

Stayed in November 2024

It's always fully booked.

Always a pleasure staying at Real Palace. Manos and Kosta always at hand with a greeting and a smile. The food is great and always plentiful. The rooms are basic and clean. The pool area is great.

My only complaint while being there would be the AC being pretty poor but apart from that loved it

Proper sound guys behind the bar, strong drinks, the food was absolutely different class, the pool was lovely and the rooms were clean and spacious and the pool area and greens were smart

A very enjoyable stay. Wonderful staff.

Everything was nice - the only thing to suggest is to offer hand soap

Nice room, comfortable beds, nice balcony, perfect surrounding place with big gardens with grass (plus for kids to play) and generally quiet place.

A lovely property with friendly staff. The owner is a very nice man, very helpful and pleasant

Stayed in June 2024

Perhaps a few more utensils in the kitchen area and toiletries in the bathroom would have been good but generally nothing to complain about

Perfect location for us, quiet but a sort distance away from the bustle of Malia and a walk from Potamos Beach. The restaurant was good and the traditional Greek dishes very good indeed. Manos and his staff were very welcoming and ensured we had a good stay. Great value for money and we will certainly be coming back.

Spacious, comfortable, quiet

breakfasts, price/quallity ratio was really low

Barman was a great guy, really made our stay nice

Stayed in April 2024

The lack of some room's amenities such as hairdryer, shoes' brush, soap and shampoo in the bathroom

Very good facilities for the price we have paid

Stayed in October 2023

Bathrooms need to be upgraded. But mostly the kitchen is very poor provided.

Manos and his staff are very friendly! We came back after 5 years to stay again at Real Palace.

Unfortunately I have to be honest to mention that the rooms are a bit outdated. Bathroom is rather old, kitchen isn't well provided and poor. There's no curtain in front of the door what means the room is lighten up at early morning and the room wasn't cleaned during our one week stay.

After 5 years we came back to Real Palace. The staff is still very friendly and the place looks great.

Very nice and quiet location. Friendly staff. It is a pity they had just one night available.

very good hotel at an affordable price, the staff was very helpful and attentive which made the stay even more pleasant, the elegant accommodation with everything you need for an excellent vacation, the very nice pool, the location relatively far from the beach but quiet and close to several typical restaurants and super markets, I definitely recommend it

Mr Manos is an excellent host! The room, the pool and the garden were so spotless! The price was very low for the facilities which provides you!

We spent five nights with our daughter. Great satisfaction, kind and helpful staff. Clean everywhere and a very pleasant environment. We also used the pool and bar. The breakfasts were also very tasty. The only problem was the very high and hard pillows. Thank you and we will definitely be back.

A good place to stay away from the busy roads while still being within walking distance to busy areas.

Stayed in April 2023

not enough pans and utensils to cook with. need to bring washing up cloth and liquid. no sofa to sit on inside but you can bring in the chairs from outside easily

slightly out of huddle and bustle of Malia town birdsong clean outside pool - beautiful clean apartment with separate bedroom- tidy and lovely staff

Stayed in April 2023

Clean modern apartments. Friendly owner gave me free upgrade to a family room. Great location, very close to all the great restaurants in the beautiful old town. Highly recommended.

Upon arrival, 50€ tax?, no receipts, at least we were able to pay with card. First few days were swarmed by hundreds of ants (floor, kitchen top, around bed), that was until i blocked their entrances with dish soap, after that we only got ~5 ants/day. There was no soap in the bathroom, and neither dish soap nor a sponge in the kitchen—we had to buy these ourselves. The kitchen was also poorly equipped, so we purchased an extra bowl. The hot plate made loud popping noises and its plug was badly melted, which was concerning. Although air conditioning and a safe were advertised as included, they cost extra. The AC, for example, cost €70 for 7 days or €140 for 14 days, so we didn’t use either. The beds were uncomfortable - too soft, with hard pillows that caused us neck and back pain. The two single beds were just pushed together, leaving a big gap in the middle. There was only one nightstand and a single, awkwardly placed power outlet. Noise was a major issue: the room had no sound insulation, so we could hear outside conversations and loud noise from the bar below, even late at night. One night, a security guard shouted on the phone for hours. Even with ANC earbuds and music, we struggled to sleep multiple nights. The shower was tiny and poorly designed, flooding the bathroom every time. The toilet leaked, and the bathroom sink plug got stuck after one use. There was no hairdryer (brought our own) or clothes drying rack (yet it was listed), and the only table was bit unstable and outside on the balcony. One balcony door was partly broken (couldn't be tilted), there was no mosquito net, and the extractor fan wasn’t vented outside, it just blew the air into the cupboard above. While the bed, towels, and sheets were clean, we did find various stains. We mainly wanted a place to sleep while exploring the island, but the constant noise made it impossible to get proper rest. *Pub's pool table could have been free for residents...

Giant parking lot. Building looks nice. Owner is generally kind. We checked TV with its few buttons egg-like remote. You can’t even change the language of the programme, but it didn’t matter since the quality was laughably bad (the brand is F & U, which is amusing in itself).

The room wasn’t as clean , the showers were a bit messy. Beds were separated and all in single format, we had to go up 3 flight of stairs!! Overall we enjoyed our stay and helpful staff.

Views - close to Malia Beach
