I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and very comfortable, and the balcony with a full view of the mountains was perfect for enjoying a coffee or a glass of wine. However, the room was not as advertised on the website, which was a bit disappointing.

Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience overall. The rooms are spacious, clean, and modern, with a lovely balcony offering a view of the mountains and the sea - perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. The hotel provides a complimentary bottle of red wine to welcome every guest. Additionally, the rooms come equipped with a hob, kettle, and fridge, which were all in excellent working condition. The convenience of having a supermarket right next door made our week-long stay even more enjoyable.

The location of the hotel is outstanding. Situated in the charming old town, away from the bustling strip and beach, it offered a serene environment. Being close to excellent restaurants and bars in old Malia town was a definite highlight.

The photos on the website were misleading as the rooms were very basic and not as advertised. It took a long time for the room to cool down. However, the service was exceptional, making us feel at home from the warm welcome to the helpful maids. The location was ideal, offering a glamorous and relaxing vibe, close to the beach and old town. The dining options were limited, but the breakfast was enjoyable. The facilities were adequate, but the variety of food was lacking.
