Skulle säga att man får vad man betalar för!
Pros:

Poolen, utsikten, läget. Fantastisk personal som är väldigt hjälpsamma.

Cons:

Sängen är väldigt hård så jag hade svårt att sova. AC:n är gammal så den är inte fullt fungerande. Man får bara en nyckel så när man kommer tillbaka från stranden är det varmt på rummet. Kommer inte så mycket vatten i duschen och duschen är extremt liten, så det tar lång tid att duscha. Även svårt att reglera temperaturen. Lyhört hotell så man hör grannarna väldigt lätt men det var inget som störde oss speciellt mycket. Badrummen skulle behöva en renovering och sängarna bytas ut till något mjukare!

Pros:

Ottima posizione, situato nel centro storico di Malia, George e sua sorella Lyda sono simpatici e disponibili ad aiutarti in ogni tua necessità.
Le camere sono spaziose e confortevoli.

Cons:

Il bagno pur essendo abbastanza grande non risulta agevole nell'utilizzo della doccia.
Il miscelatore funziona male, o acqua bollente o fredda.

Definitely an extremely pleasant experience.
Pros:

My wife and I have been vacationing on various islands in Greece for many years, but we have never stayed in such good apartments. George and his sister are extremely friendly and helpful. The apartment is like new and very clean. The kitchen is well equipped and George replenished the dishes and kitchen utensils during our stay. Enjoying the beautiful and clean pool and George's bar was the icing on the cake. We definitely recommend it!

Cons:

None.

Stelios Residence offers a warm, family-run retreat in a prime location.
Pros:

Our recent stay at Stelios Residence Apartments was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcome. The family who runs this place, led by George, is so kind and attentive—they truly went above and beyond to make us feel right at home. A highlight was their local knowledge; the family provided excellent recommendations for tavernas, beaches, and other must-see spots. They are also incredibly dedicated to their guests, even staying up very late just to welcome new arrivals or say a proper goodbye.

The location is perfect. Tucked away in the charming Old Town, it offers a peaceful escape from the busy nightlife, yet everything is still within easy walking distance. The shops and restaurants are just a short stroll away, and getting to Potamos Beach is a breeze with a short bus ride followed by a brief walk.

The apartments themselves were spotless and had everything we needed, including a kitchenette. The pool area is a highlight—clean, well-maintained, and a great place to relax and soak up the Cretan sun. The poolside bar serves delicious food and drinks, too.

For anyone looking for a friendly, clean, and perfectly located place to stay in Malia, we can't recommend Stelios Residence Apartments enough. It's truly a gem and we can't wait to come back!

Sehr schöne und gepflegte Anlage, mitten in der Altstadt gelegen. Die Eigentümer sind Mega freundlich und denken wirklich an alles. Bei Ankunft gibt es ein kleines Infoheftchen über die Umgebung. Es gibt Sonnenschirme und Liegen, die man mit an den Strand nehmen kann.
Die Zimmer sind schön und sauber mit kleiner Küche
Ich war 1 Woche dort und habe mich super wohl gefühlt. Nächstes Mal gehe ich wieder dort hin,

We were made to feel very welcome by George and Lida, felt like we had known them for years.
Pros:

George and Lida were fantastic hosts, gave us great details of facilities, transport and recommended places to eat in the area, where to get transportation to a variety of areas along with prices, this was fantastic information passed to us on arrival. Both were lovely people and were willing to do as much as they could to ensure our stay was an enjoyable one. The room was great, had all the essentials that anyone would need, beds comfy, pool was great and the area around was super, a really lovely area, amazing to think it was a five minute walk to the 'hustle and bustle', yet where the Stelios Apartments are it was really quiet and peaceful. Will definitely stay there again as we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and, as previously mentioned, the amazing hosts George and Lida made it a really great stay.

Cons:

I wouldn't have changed anything, all was fantastic.

Pros:

L'emplacement de l'hôtel est idéal. Beaucoup de restaurants aux alentours, et à 5 min à pieds du centre plus animé. Nous avons été très bien accueilli par Georges et sa soeur qui gèrent l'hôtel. C'est un plus d'avoir Georges qui parle bien le français 🤪.Il nous a donné plein de conseils sur des choses à faire et à voir. La piscine est impeccable. Merci pour l'accueil chaleureux.

Cons:

Pas grand chose , si ce n'est l'équipement pour cuisiner un peu juste mais pas grave, nous avons mangé au restaurant tous les soirs 🤪.
