Arrived at this hotel the week after end of season (18th October 2011). There have been some good comments on here about the staff and I can only assume that during the season the hotel employs staff. I think the owners and family were running it themselves during our stay and they clearly did not want to be there and... More

Dont go if you want a clean, friendly, well run Hotel who does not charge extra for practically everything, with warning signs everywhere saying do not do this, do not do that. Having been to Crete several times and stayed in several locations and Hotels on the Island this has to be the worst ever DONT GO!

A clean well maintained hotel nicely located away from the noise of the main strip. It charges an extra £60 per week for air conditioning and a fridge in your room. In common with other areas of Greece please remember that used toilet paper is placed in a bin and not flushed away. The hotel offers a limited snack menu... More

We bagged ourselves an absolute bargain when we booked this holiday! It was a last minute break, B&B and although we were dubious about Malia being "the clubbing capital of Crete" being the 1st week of the season, we need not have worried! it was VERY quiet. This hotel is friendly, inviting, excellent value for money, in a great central... More

I felt I have to leave a review on this hotel as some of the comments are unfair and uncalled for. I stayed at this hotel for a week in August with my 17 year old daughter and we had a great time. The hotel is clean, the staff friendly and the food good value. Ilias the security guard met... More

Arriving at the Dedalos you feel like oyu are arriving at a prison camp. You are greeted by a guy wearing an almost army style jumper saying security on it and he orders you into a room along with everyone else arriving with you and takes your passports off you. Then you are frogmarched to your room where you are... More

Having booked this hotel on the recomendation of my travel agent i was slightly apprehensive after reading some of the reviews. i imagined us being surrounded by young people looking to party resulting noise and disturbance. I am glad to say that was not the case!! We arrived mid May and there was a good mix of age group in... More

My husband and I went to Crete and stayed at the Malia Dedalos. The hotel is situated off main strip in a quiet area. We found the hotel staff to be warm and friendly. Pool area nice, breakfast was included which was fair. Rooms very basic, twin beds. Nice bath with shower head also and hot water. Rooms cleaned regularly.... More

Not a place to write home about, but to be fair we booked very later and just wanted somewhere clean & tidy on Crete but with access to the mountains and historical attractions by road as well as being near the sea. Ok just about sums everything up - nothing was exceptional and no-one seemed to go particularly out of... More
