We loved happy days and would definitely come back!! great Value for money
Pros:

We absolutely loved the pool and sunbed area. The hotel had everything we needed and staff were very friendly. We came on a girls holiday so expected the bare minimum as it’s so cheap but it exceeded our expectations. The rooms were small but clean and comfortable and the balcony was spacious and had a nice view of the old town. We found staff to be very attentive and kind and as long as you don’t break the rules you will not have a bad experience with any of them.

Cons:

We felt the rooms were a bit small for 2 people but it was okay for what we needed and the price.

Unterkunft ok, Gäste letztklassig (natürlich nicht pauschal)
Pros:

Komfortabel und gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis

Cons:

Sehr niveaulose Gäste. Lärm verursacht von laut lachenden und sprechenden Gästen zwischen 02 und 03 Uhr morgens. Ich begab mich auf den Flur um nachzusehen, von wem der Lärm verursacht wurde. Außer mir standen noch viele andere Gäste auf den Balkonen und äußerten deren Unmut. Ich forderte einen der Verursacher auf, leise zu sein und den Mund zu halten. Unmittelbar darauf lief dieser Gast zu mir hoch und verwickelte mich in eine tätliche Auseinandersetzung, indem er mir sofort in das Gesicht schlug. Erst durch den Nacht-Security beruhigte sich die Szene. Jedenfalls ist dies für mich kein „place to be“. Auch wenn sich die Managerin (Besitzerin) am Morgen zerknirscht gab und sich entschuldigte.

Pros:

Mic dejun clasic. Gazdele foarte dragute si saritoare la orice cerere sau intrebare.

Cons:

Am avut ghinionul sa fim cazati in acelas corp de cladire cu un grup de englezi, care veneau noaptea tarziu, beti si se certau pe hol. Usile foarte subtiri, te trezeai in tipete si asteptai sa intre la tine in camera in urma scandalului.
Nu exista parcare pt masina, un stres in plus cu masina inchiriata, plus ca pe strada trec autocare foarte aproape de masinile parcate.
Baia este fara produse de igiena, doar hartie igienica, restul a trebuit sa il cumparam.

Pros:

Lo staff è sempre gentile e disponibile, dalle host al barista alla signora delle pulizie. La camera viene pulita ogni due giorni e gli asciugamani cambiati. La struttura è molto carina e vicinissima al centro storico di Malia.

Cons:

Booking potrebbe fare confusione con il totale della tassa di soggiorno, perciò meglio chiedere conferma alle host.

Η διαμονή ήταν καλή γενικές γραμμές. Δεν το συνιστώ για όσους ψαχνουν ένα ήσυχο δωμάτιο.
Pros:

Κοντά στο κέντρο των Μαλίων, είχε πολύ καλό φαγητό.
Το προσωπικό πολύ ευγενικό.
Διαθέτει πιστολάκι για τα μαλλιά και η κουζίνα είναι κατάλληλα εξοπλισμένη.
Πολύ ωραίος καθρέφτης πάνω από τον νεροχύτη που σου επιτρέπει να ρυθμίζεις την ενταση του φωτός.

Cons:

Ενώ το δωμάτιο ήταν δίκλινο, είχε μόνο ένα μαξιλάρι.
Χρειάστηκε να ζητήσω 2 φορές πετσέτα προσώπου γιατί στο δωμάτιο υπήρχε μόνο η πετσέτα του μπάνιου.
Η ντουλάπα μύριζε πολύ έντονα κλεισούρα με αποτέλεσμα να μην μπορείς να κρεμάσεις ρούχα.
Για 2 μέρες δεν είχε ζεστό νερό.

Jest ok.
Pros:

Wygodne łóżka, miły personel, blisko na starówkę i plaże. Dobra cena polecam rezerwować w ostatniej chwili bo jest 30e taniej. Hotel położony w bocznej uliczce więc zawsze znajdzie się jakieś miejsce do parkowania.

Cons:

Dolne piętra hotelu są wypełnione Anglikami którzy palą papierosy, głośno rozmawiają i imprezują przez całą dobę przez co cały hotel śmierdzi papierosami i ciężko jest w nocy zasnąć od halasu. Niedokładne sprzątnięte włosy wcześniejszych gości znajdowane nie tylko w łazience ale i w pokoju. Bardzo zimna wodą w basenach. Ciśnienie wody tak słabe że nawet nie można było przełączyć węża na prysznic. Prosiłam o pokój na niższym piętrze że względu na niepełnosprawną mamę i córkę a otrzymaliśmy 2 piętro co mamę tam uwięziło

Un lloc per relaxar-se i gaudir de Creta!!!
Pros:

Molt boba l’atenció i l’amabilitat, habitacions netes i bona ubicació si vols visitar altres poblacions properes o fer rutes de trekking. A prop de restaurants amb gastronomia local …

Cons:

No té pàrquing

Cons:

Again those greek baths they put toilet in very small area so you have to sit with your legs restricted in one side while unecesary large shower so if you like to sit like in some torture chamber with permament health damage do choose this hotel. About those workers who made that bath, it should be illegal to be that stupid. They arent putting furniture on toilet but humans with organs.

Cons:

Για 4 ημέρες διαμονής είχαμε 1 χαρτί υγείας, δεν υπήρχε σαπούνι και αυτά αναγκάστηκαμε και τα αγοράσαμε!
