Beautiful place, lovely rooms and great breakfast!

You had to pay for air conditioning and the safe. The air con was €6 a day and the safe was €20 total. Just be aware of these extra costs

Très décevant.
Pros:

Les rares points positifs : personnel professionnel, belle piscine et petit déjeuner moyen. Et c'est tout !
La chambre-studio serait d'une superficie correcte pour une chambre mais est très petite pour un studio. Niveau vaisselle, il y a moins que le minimum, et seulement deux plaques électriques. La climatisation est très bruyante et impossible à régler . La télé ne fonctionne pas. La literie est très inconfortable et nous avons eu mal au dos au réveil. Mais surtout, la salle de bain est très vétuste et d'une hygiène douteuse, avec des remontées d'eaux savonneuses chaque fois que l'on se douche ( voir photos). D'accord, la région est très touristique, mais à ce prix nous ne nous attendions pas à ce niveau d'inconfort. Je ne comprends pas la note obtenue par cet établissement sur Hotels.com. A éviter absolument.

Pros:

Wenn man Malia mag ist die Lage gut. Tavernen, Supermärkte und Strand fußläufig.

Cons:

Die Sauberkeit lässt zu wünschen übrig, Badezimmer insbesondere die Dusche sehr klein und sehr veraltet.
Das Frühstück war in Ordnung, jedoch leider jeden Tag das gleiche. Der Kaffe hat nicht wirklich nach Kaffee geschmeckt.

Nicht schlecht, aber geht besser
Pros:

An sich sehr schöne Hotelanlage, nur schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Das Bad sollte überholt werden, da ein duschen, ohne alles unter Wasser zu setzen nicht möglich war.
Auch die Mücken waren eine echte Plage, da muss dringend Abhilfe geschaffen werden (Insektengitter, oder Insektenschutz fürs Bett.
Frühstück sehr eintönig, 1 Sorte Wurst/Käse, gekochtes Ei und Joghurt/Melone

Pros:

The property itself is very nice, clean, and has a decent breakfast . We purchased the economy suite because we knew we would be out and about most of our stay. I knew I wasn’t going to get their best room but I didn’t expect to get the worst bed I’ve ever slept in. It was like sleeping on a cement slab. I was here for 3 days and slept none of them. A comfortable bed is so important when you’re away from home. For this reason I don’t recommend economy suite 103. Maybe the other rooms are better. I don’t know, mine was horrible

Pros:

Family atmosphere. Owners especially take care of the comfort and safety of seniors. Respect for parents is natural here. Help is always within reach, but no one is underestimated in their performance. The hotel has good conditions for families with small children. Coexistence of generations is no problem. Large family is no problem. Perfect!

Pros:

The hotel is operated by a very friendly Greek family. Relaxing atmosphere. Upon arrival in the morning we got breakfast and in the room reserved only from the afternoon we waited at the large pool and bar. We got the room better than ordered, at the same price. The perfect place to relax. The hotel offers a number of opportunities to go for sightseeing or sea.

Pros:

A clean, well maintained hotel retained the atmosphere of a real Greece. The owners' family personally takes care of the comfort of guests. Enough space and privacy. The "mini-kitchen" with a little improvisation allows you to prepare a big dinner for 8 people. There are excellent restaurants in the area. The beach is 10 minutes on foot or by car - the most beautiful is the east direction at the archaeological place.
