The rooms are small. The bathroom is small. For a week of stay, they did not clean a single time. Garbage was taken out a couple of times in 7 days. Towels were changed on the third day. The bed was never changed. Breakfast is the same type, you will not go hungry, but there is no variety. Since soft drugs are allowed in Crete, be prepared that one of the neighbors will definitely smoke them.

The rooms are small. The bathroom is small. For a week of stay, they did not clean a single time. Garbage was taken out a couple of times in 7 days. Towels were changed on the third day. The bed was never changed. Breakfast is the same type, you will not go hungry, but there is no variety. Since soft drugs are allowed in Crete, be prepared that one of the neighbors will definitely smoke them. Wi-fi is weak and not stable and only at the lobby bar. The pool is good, on one side the depth is 2.75 m, there are few umbrellas and sun loungers by the pool. Air conditioning and safe for extra. fee.
The beach is 15-20 minutes walk. Taverns, cafes are also a 20-minute walk. It is better to have dinner in a tavern and take national cuisine. I advise the family tavern Javos and tasty and not expensive, compared to other taverns. But I advise you not to go to the Sirtaki tavern, the prices are higher and the staff is not hospitable, they can also scold you if you order a little.
Renting a car from Malii cars for a couple of days (quite enough to go around the island) is cheaper than taking excursions, especially since entrance tickets are not included in the price. The hotel has parking which was convenient. The view from the balcony window of the room is not very good, but, on the other hand, away from road noise (ATVs and motorcycles run around the clock). The maid Sophia, the only one who speaks Russian, can also use foul language… this is her joke.
They try to smooth out unpleasant moments, but the hotel pulls no more than ONE star.
Souvenirs - olive soap, olive oil-based cosmetics - are cheaper to take in supermarkets. In Malia, this is Chalkidikas, which is open until 11 p. m. during the tourist season. The bus from Malia to the hotel costs 1.80 euros per person, you need to look at the bus schedule at stops, but not all buses can take tourists as passengers, therefore, after a hearty dinner, it is better to take a walk.
There was a power outage at the hotel on the day of check out and therefore no water. And since the departure from the hotel was at 6-30 in the morning, I had to use mobile phones as a flashlight and use drinking water for washing. So at the end of the holiday we got emotions “below the plinth”.
Of all, the Mouzenidis airline was pleased with lunch on board, and since these were regular flights, so there were no delays. BUT we will not go to this hotel - definitely!

Small 2* hotel, about 1 km from the center of the village of Malia, where there are many different cafes, bars, restaurants, clubs. Rested at the end of August. Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted by the hostess herself. Good attentive staff, there are Russian speakers. They settled in right away. The room is very clean and comfortable, high ceilings, soft bed.

Upon arrival, I was warmly greeted by the hostess herself. Good attentive staff, there are Russian speakers. They settled in right away. The room is very clean and comfortable, high ceilings, soft bed. Furniture and fixtures, though not new, but in fairly good condition. Air conditioning and safe for extra charge, did not use. Mini fridge and el. there is a kettle.
The hotel has a bar, swimming pool and breakfast in the morning.
The sea is relatively close, 15 minutes walk, and you find yourself on one of the best beaches on the northern coast, this beach is called Potamos Beach. Large coastline, equipped with all necessary amenities sunbeds, umbrellas, toilets, changing rooms and most importantly clean warm sea.
I planned my vacation for a long time and really wanted to visit such places as the Palace of Knossos, the Cave of Zeus and the island of Chrissi. The tour operator Mouzenidis helped me to realize these plans, for which I am grateful. The trips were very informative, comfortable and organized. Thanks.

Rested in Crete at the end of May. Hotel Nikos is located in Malia. The hotel is small, cozy, came to rest alone. I was greeted by a friendly hostess, who immediately settled me in the room. The room, to my pleasant surprise, turned out to be very spacious and tidy, everything is clean, the place is perfect for a good relaxing holiday.

The room, to my pleasant surprise, turned out to be very spacious and tidy, everything is clean, the place is perfect for a good relaxing holiday. The hotel had only breakfast, a good continental breakfast, there is a pool and a bar. There is a bus stop in front of the hotel, from where you can get to settlements on your own. Malia village center is a 10-minute walk away. Just 10-15 minutes from the hotel is Potamos beach, which is marked with a blue flag, it has everything you need for a comfortable stay, spent time there with pleasure.
I don’t like to sit in the hotel, so I traveled a lot on my own and visited some excursion programs. My first excursion was the Palace of Knossos - Heraklion, I learned about the first civilization in Europe, walked around the city of Heraklion, the so-called capital of the island of Crete.
On the next program, we went on a sea voyage to the island of Santorini, the extraordinary beauty of the architecture of this island is mesmerizing. Well, and of course, where in Crete without fun, so I went to the Cretan evening, where I saw national dances, costumes, tried the local cuisine and drank wine, which was in abundance.
Thanks to everyone who participated in organizing my vacation. I will definitely return to Crete, I have not seen much yet.

The hotel has a homely atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and helpful with any questions. The hotel itself is not new, it is located in the resort village of Malia, it is also close to the airport, about 30 minutes. The room is simple, the furniture is not the first freshness, wooden. Clean, cleaning done in a timely manner, linen changed 2 times a week.

The hotel area is small, but cozy, in the form of a terrace with a swimming pool, fresh water, the smell of bleach is present, but not critical.
Continental breakfast (eggs, cheeses, sausage, baked goods, muesli, tea, coffee, jam, butter).
The hotel has a parking lot, which was very important for us, as we rented a car and traveled around the island on our own.
The hotel is small, cozy, good service, and most importantly cheap.
P. S. far from a good beach, about 1 km, so the car was more than ever useful.

the hotel itself is clean and comfortable. refrigerator, air conditioning (for an additional fee of 6 euros per day), electric kettle, wardrobe without shelves, 3 beds, mirror, pouffe, there is a normal hair dryer in the bathroom. The tray is small and water constantly gets on the floor. located away from the city of Malia (20 minutes walk along the highway) and the wonderful Potamos beach (along the field roads, paths for 25 minutes), where there are no slabs and stones at the entrance to the sea.

located away from the city of Malia (20 minutes walk along the highway) and the wonderful Potamos beach (along the field roads, paths for 25 minutes), where there are no slabs and stones at the entrance to the sea. the distance personally strained me (((. we went to the beach on the first day in the gardens - mother dear !! ! we ran into the fence halfway, they began to bypass the private house, the owners saw us, but went into the house without saying anything... well, it’s on... with this path abbreviation ().
In the evening we went to Malia for dinner. on the road). they actually left the hotel and voted. the Greeks stopped and gave a ride - thanks to them. got back the same way. cruel, however. especially when you came to rest. but walking in the dark is also not the best option.
at the entrance to the hotel there are shuttle bus stops both in the direction of Heraklion and Agios Nikolaos. go often. maximum waiting time - 20 min. Buses are quite comfortable, buy a ticket from the conductors. stop on demand with a wave of the hand.
if you plan to take a car or an ATV, there will be no problems with parking and movement.
the owners of the hotel are a friendly unobtrusive Greek family. the maid - Sofia - speaks Russian, will answer any questions, help and tell you. sweet and pleasant woman.
olive garden next to the hotel. cicadas chirp so that closed windows do not save. but you quickly get used to us.
We only had breakfast at the hotel. 4 days the same thing: 2 types of bread, ham, cheese, eggs, tomatoes, cucumbers, cereals, butter, jam, simple cookies, juice from the machine, tea or coffee on order, YOGURT - well, very tasty)!! ! Whether they cook lunch or dinner on request, I don't know.
wi-fi is quite decent. in public places. our room was on the second floor above the dining room, so the balcony was connected.
The pool is nice and clean. deep on one side - 2.80 (if I'm not mistaken) - you can dive, and 80 cm on the other side.
they didn't go shopping, they didn't go to markets. dinner in the tavern of Heraklion (on the very shore), Mali cost 12 - 17 euros for 1 person. took a Greek salad one for two, hot meat and fish platter, mushrooms. tried moussaka. I liked the house wine. after dinner, a small compliment from the institution is served: ice cream, ouzo.
Malia is a bustling youth resort. there is a long street of bars, nightclubs - a loud noisy party. Definitely, you will not be able to sleep in nearby hotels. youth rides on quadrics all day and night. This miracle of technology costs 10 euros. crackles, buzzes and rattles sooo decently. who prefers silence, I do not advise you to go to Malia. in Nikos it was quiet enough - after all, it was not a city anymore.
would you still go? it all depends on the offered price. cheap - maybe.
