Basic rooms - nothing like the pictures. Clean but nothing like we were expecting. Big bonus was it's near the beach. Charlie's bar which was incorporated into the hotel was nice and food was reasonable. Staff were exceptionally friendly. Just don't expect your room to be as nice as the pictures. Very basic and bed was rock hard. We did have a sea view but couldn't make up for poor dull old room.

Just returned from a week at the kastro. Very clean apartments, basic but adequate. Staff absolutely brilliant Sarah is amazing. Bar staff very friendly especially at the pool bar. Couldn't do enough for guests. Only disappoint was having to pay for air conditioning, really should be included as part of package

We came to Kastro apts with a group of friends (families) kids ages from 7-20, based on the fact some of them had been to Kastro 5yrs previous. I was a bit nervous as remembered Malia from younger years and didn’t know if be any good for my 7yr old (or my 16yr old) However I didn’t need to worry Kastro apts is a family run business, they are wonderful. We arrived late on a Saturday night and straight away our every need was met, they welcomed us, we were in our rooms within 5 mins, they got us drinks and made us so welcome. We had a one bed apartment- perfect 4 beds none of these sofa beds. Air Con in room is bloody great! Rooms spotless. We had an amazing week at Kastro, the staff treat you like family, nothing is too much trouble, the pool is clean and just the right size, plenty of sun beds (there was 22 in our group - always a sunlounger) not those cheap ones, proper cushioned comfy loungers. No mad rush to get up to save a sunbed. The food is fantastic infact we hardly eat out! The bar at the front Charlie’s, is great fun, good holiday fun with plenty of sing songs. The weekly BBQ was a treat and so much fun for such a low price! It was my daughters 16th while there and the team organised a mini pool side party for her with a cake balloons etc again like doing it for family. You just can’t fault Kastro Apts and I’d definitely return. The apts are at the end of the “strip” but far away from the younger scene and noise. Whilst the Kastro is a mixed hotel there are some younger guests with it being so close to everything but because of the vibe in the hotel of a real family run business it works well and certainly not any “drunken teenagers” everyone shows respect and the owners keep it that way. Thank you Nikkos and team you made Crete 22 so memorable.

Cannot say enough good things about this hotel! The staff our absolutely incredible! Our first day was met with the warmest of welcomes. And staff are always friendly and chatty. Sarah is an absolute asset to the team and we are always excited to see her in the morning! Nikos the hotel owner runs an incredible service making sure we are always looked after. It’s a family owned business too so finding out about their back stories and the development of the hotel was really interesting! Ava the cleaner was so friendly and loved talking to her in the morning even though we were hanging. She enters the room every other day around 10-11 so bare that in mind if you’re planning a late night. The food at the hotel was amazing. Very affordable and swift service! Not to mention you can order food at the pool too and have it brought to you! Little touches like bringing watermelon for free to us on a pool day, and hosting a family bbq on Saturday where all the food was lovingly made by Nikos’ family were definitely some highlights. The room itself served its purpose. The shower was perfect and the beds were super comfy! Which felt especially comfy after a night on the strip. If you’re worried about sleep, need not. The hotel is situated far enough away from the main of the strip so you won’t get that noise. There is Charlie’s bar directly in front of the hotel however the noise is quiet enough for even me, an insomniac! The only thing I could critique is having the pool cleaned more regularly as every-time we went in, it wasn’t the cleanest and was quite put off from going in. I would definitely come back again! The location for the beach, shops and strip are perfect! And the family feel is so warming and welcoming.

Me and my friends stayed at Kastro for a week in the sun. It has a perfect location by the beach. It’s still on the strip but further enough down for those who aren’t party goers, with a good 11pm cut off for noise from the rooms (which has been enforced). That doesn’t mean that the fun stops at 11pm however as the bar itself is great, offering great drinks, deals and karaoke! The staff make the place, from Nikos’ family, to Toni and Sarah, all are very welcoming and have really made the holiday great with their hospitality. The pool area and the bar are great too, and the service for food and drink around the poolside are great also. Again the location is great with loads of shops, bars and restaurants all around it even a pharmacist close by. I would come back to Malia JUST for the Kastro and their hospitality- highly recommend this for all guests.

Went with a group of 7 boys for a Holliday and had a wicked time. Such lovely people running the hotel who looked after us from the minute we got there. The bar is such a fun place to start drinking of a night time, the pool is lovely and clean and the rooms are perfect. Also the location could not be better. Highly highly recommend for anyone going to Malia.
