Excellent hotel in a perfect and serene location.
It is new and very clean, strong wifi, comfortable beds and hot water!
The management is very warm and kind, family run, definitely will be back!
The place deserves more than 5 stars!
4th stay always good, amazing staff, spotlessly clean and a friendly atmosphere at the bar where conversation flows at ease and new friends made.

Solo travelling woman - I felt safe, the property was clean and had all your basic needs. The staff were amazing, very friendly and helpful and kind. The beach is about 20 mins walk (max) and the old town Malia and the archeological site of the palace of mailia is not far either. I would happily stay here again! Thank you for my stay!

The staff is wonderful, management and service at the (breakfast) bar, very helpful and welcoming. We loved the pool, the lobby (incl. pool & ping pong tables) with its bar and its attractive set-up. It took only about a 10-minute leisurely walk to the best restaurants in town (Milos is a must!) and far enough for the hotel to be quiet and relaxing. We'd go back there anytime.
Overall, the place was nice. It was comfortable, the rooms were fairly big, and the pool area was very relaxing. The booking did mention air conditioning, but because it was the off-season, we were not given the controller, even though it got a little warm in the night. They also do not provide any hand soap, which was a little inconvenient. All-in-all, it was a good stay, though. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
Can I say Excellent!!!!
Manis and his staff was perfect. I got help with whatever I needed and whatever I didn’t understand as an English only speaker, they were quick to translate and explain.This trip was my first time in Europe and I felt very safe as a solo traveler. I slept with my balcony door open because it was so cool and I never needed the a/c. Yes there is a charge for usage but it was not needed during my stay. Breakfast was good with a lot of options. I would recommend a stay here and I will definitely be back next year.

The hotel is located outside of central Malia, which is harder to access by foot if you have luggage. It's walkable and the views are splendid. The air is pure as there are many olive farms surrounding the property. It's also very breazy and It's good value for money. The only annoyance was that they demand a supplement for the aircon of 10 Euros per day, which according to Experia is included in the stay. For the 2 night stay, I wasn't going to protest. Otherwise it's a good budget stay. I would recommend this property for short stays.

Beoordeling accommodatie – verblijf 16 t/m 23 september
Bij aankomst kregen we direct een rekening van €105, inclusief toeristenbelasting. Daarvan was €70 alleen al voor het gebruik van de airco. Voor ons voelde dit als een onverwachte en buitensporige extra kostenpost.
De eerste indruk van de kamer was helaas allesbehalve positief. Het was verre van hygiënisch:
• De wasbak zat los en leek elk moment uit elkaar te vallen.
• In de douche zat een gat waardoor het water alle kanten opspoot.
• Het toilet was gammel en zat bijna los.
• Er was duidelijk sprake van schimmel, wat ons meteen zorgen gaf over de gezondheid en hygiëne.
De schoonmaak tijdens ons verblijf was zeer teleurstellend. Het kwam erop neer dat er hooguit een wc-rol werd neergelegd en twee schone handdoeken. De gebruikte handdoeken werden vaak niet meegenomen. Toen wij vroegen of er nog verder schoongemaakt werd, kregen we te horen dat het al klaar was. Dit patroon herhaalde zich zes dagen lang. Alleen op de laatste dag werd het bed opgemaakt, maar de kamer is in de hele week niet echt schoongemaakt.
De bedden zelf lagen gelukkig goed, dat was eigenlijk het enige pluspunt van ons verblijf. Maar een goed bed weegt niet op tegen de ernstige tekortkomingen in hygiëne, onderhoud en service.
Wij hebben in de loop der jaren vaker in Griekenland verbleven, maar dit is de eerste keer dat we ons écht zorgen maakten om de hygiëne. Het voelde onveilig en zeker niet fris. Voor de prijs die we betaalden, hadden we veel
L’accueil et le personnels est très sympathique. Hôtel globalement agréable et propre, espace piscine superbe, la prestation de restauration et du snack est correct mais un peu cher. L’emplacement est pratique et proche de la vieille ville et des commodités (petites ruelles de restaurants très jolies) Il permet de couper avec l’agitation festive de Malia Beach. A pied vous êtes en 10 minutes sur l’axe principale et Malia et 10 minutes de plus à la plage. Seul reproche la climatisation est payante et Check-out un peu tôt. Globalement un bon rapport qualité prix . Attention pour les familles avec enfants en pleine saison l’hôtel est bruyant en raison des retours tardifs des jeunes fêtards…
Ich war mit meiner Familie für 1 Woche in Kreta und wir haben uns für den Hotel entschieden aber hätten wir gewusst das dass wo dreckig ist hätten wir das nicht genommen, aber der Pool war ganz ok und die waren eigentlich auch freundlich. Im Großen und Ganzen war es okay würde ich aber nicht nochmal kommen!!!!
Pire hôtel que j’ai pu faire, pour commencer le gérant me fais payer une taxe locale de 25€ alors que j’en avait déjà payé une en réservant , et quand je lui demande une facture, il ne peut pas me la sortir.. il insiste également pour que je la paye en cash …
Ensuite dans la chambre il n’y a ni climatisation (payante ) ni chauffage , la salle de bain est vielle et peut fonctionnelle.
LE PLUS IMPORTANT : l’hygiène
Taches sur les serviettes , les draps , les oreillers. La femme de ménage est passée mais n’a fait aucun ménage , juste refait notre lit ..

Les site le cadre de l'hôtel sont vraiment joli, la piscine et très belle et les autours sont propre et bien entretenu.
Le parking est pratique et l'hôtel vraiment proche des commerces.
Le personnel familiale et chaleureux.
Notre chambre : (au 1er avec deux balcons)
L’équipement pour cuisiner était vraiment limite pour 2 personnes (genre 2 verres a eaux, deux verres a bière, 2 couteaux, 3 fourchettes, 2 cuillères et 1 poêle et une casserole inox… pas d’egoutoire) donc obligation de faire la vaisselle chaque repas… donc pas cool.
La literie… au top !!! J’ai rarement dormis aussi bien que dans cette chambre, donc gros point positif.
Les balcons super pratique pour y déjeuner et prendre l’apéro à deux.
Le cadre ; très beau avec de beaux Palmiers et une pelouse a faire pâlir de jalousie le stade de france 😉
Nous étions en hors saison donc c'était plutôt calme voir très calme même à la piscine.
la salle de bain (douche pour nous) un peu juste et rideaux en plastic pas très agréable sur soi quand la douche mesure pas plus de 50cm sur 50cm donc c’est la mare aux canard assuré et puis les toilettes qui datent de mathusalem … la vasque par contre super.
La chambre était propre quand nous sommes arrivé mais (nous somme resté 15 jours) les soles n’ont été nettoyés que deux fois pendant notre séjour se qui ne serait pas un problème si nous avions un balais et un ramasse poussières a disposition… mais c’était pas le cas.
Globalement séjour positif et rapport qualité prix imbattable.

Bardzo dobry stosunek jakości do ceny! Cena przed sezonem bezkonkurencyjna. Bardzo mili właściciele, cicha okolica - świetna baza wypadowa do zwiedzania wschodniej części Krety. Jedyny minus za brak sprzątania pokoju podczas 5 nocy pobytu i ubogie wyposażenie aneksu kuchennego, jednak duży plus za ogólną czystość całego hotelu

Αξίζει τον κόπο
Καλό και συνεπές στις υποσχέσεις του ξενοδοχείο. Λίγη προσοχή παραπάνω σίγουρα θα βοηθούσε, η έλλειψη ασανσέρ για τον δεύτερο όροφο ήταν σημαντική για μας (ξεχάσαμε να ζητήσουμε να είμαστε χαμηλά).
Προσωπικό φιλικό και εξυπηρετικό.
