Great stay overall! The hotel was clean, the staff were very friendly and helpful, and having security at the entrance all night made us feel safe. The pool area was comfortable and the pool bar was a nice touch. The beach is about a 15-minute walk away. The building is old but nicely renovated. The only downside is that you can sometimes hear music from the nearby clubs. Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Such a bad experience

A totally unfriendly and rude housekeeper !!! Asking for 7 euro/day for the use of A/C (in the condition as in attached pics). The room was terribly old....There was no water in the toilets...the fridge was out of order (they have replaced that entering our room without any previous warning while sleeping)..ther are no words to describe our disappointment! Avoid this "hotel" at any cost!

Es ist ein süßes kleine Hotel wenn man nicht viel Geld ausgeben möchte und relativ „nah“ an der Hauptstrassse. Jedoch leider nichtmal eine Seife gab es. Und täglich wird das Zimmer auch nicht geputzt. Klimaanlage kostet geld

Super petit hôtel qui mérite d'être connu

Hôtel familial très bien placé, tout près des clubs et restaurants, tout en étant au calme. Les hôtes sont adorables, accueillants, toujours disponibles, on a passé un super séjour ! Les chambres sont basiques mais confortables, petit coin cuisine, belle piscine avec transats à disposition, on se gare facilement à proximité dans la rue. Seul bémol : pas de savon, et mauvaise insonorisation donc quand vous avez des voisins "seuls au monde" vive les bouchons d'oreille !

The owners were friendly and helpful, and it was cheap. However, the fact that A/C was NOT included was well hidden in the list of conditions. While Expedia listed the place as "having A/C", you actually have to pay 6-8 Euros extra to actually "use" the A/C. I think it is important for potential future customers to know that yes, the place is cheap and the owners are nice, don't be surprised that you will have to pay extra for A/C.

Amazing hotel :)

Ou studio economy room was amazing. We were pleasantly surprised that the little kitchen included a sink, refrigerator, stove, pot and a pan. The family who ran the hotel was incredibly friendly and always wanting to help out in any way possible. Location seas amazing. Only an 18 minute walk away from the beach.

Séjour crétois à petit prix

L'accueil est excellent. Les 2 frères sont hyper accueillants et sympathiques. Le coin piscine est agréable, y prendre un petit déjeuner crétois l'incite. Les chambres ne donnent pas sur la route, ce qui est un avantage. Par contre, les chambres sont mal isolées, et c'est difficile à supporter si des voisins sont bruyants. Sinon , c'est un coin agréable pour un petit prix

La struttura era semplice ed essenziale ma pulita; i proprietari (due fratelli) sono straordinariamente gentili e ci hanno fornito molte informazioni su quanto avremmo potuto vedere nei dintorni. La posizione della struttura è molto buona (un po' difficile da trovare...), in zona tranquilla ma vicina al centro, comodissima per raggiungere Malia Vecchia e con facilità di parcheggio. Sono soddisfatto della scelta fatta, se non si cerca il lusso la struttura è vecchiotta ma ottima. Lo consiglio

Tres sommaire en rapport avec le prix. Ok pour une etape mais pas pour un sejour. Chambres en bord de route tres fréquentée par des motards et voitures adeptes des dérapages, echappements libres. ... impossible de dormir correctement. Accueil des 2 frères sympathique. Très peu de contacts car nous avons fui malia regulierement. Vieux village typique. Église extraordinaire par ses peintures. Restaurant Avli super. Ville réservée aux jeunes fetards !
