Overall

We stayed at Malia Princess in Malia, Crete for 2.5 weeks. Our first night here there was a little issue with the room, and first thing the following morning, the hotel manager George got everything straightened out for us. I cannot say enough good things about him! He makes this place worth staying at. George made our family feel welcomed and our daughter gained a new best friend. He really goes above and beyond for this hotel, and is the main reason we would return!

Food

Breakfast was served every morning which included coffee, tea, orange juice, toast, ham and cheese toasties, and cereal. The lady making breakfast every morning is so amazing. She runs that breakfast! And she was so nice and pleasant. There is also a whole menu selection of breakfast you can purchase, along with lunch, dinner, snacks, and drinks. For the best prices in the area! The pool is always very clean and there are plenty of lounge chairs and umbrellas for everyone. There are also pool tables and games surrounding the bar. You really don’t even need to leave the hotel if you don’t want to!

The Rooms at Malia Princess Studios

The rooms were ok, basic, but pretty decent for a 2 star, super budget friendly hotel. We had 3 single beds in our room, which were comfortable. There is a little kitchenette in the room that has a small refrigerator, burner, and a kettle. The kettle was pretty old and rusted, and there were no sponges or soap for doing the dishes, but the cupboard was stocked with some plates, bowls, and cups. Our beds were made up everyday, but the sheets and comforters were never changed. We eventually asked for fresh bedding and they changed them that day.  We did get fresh towels every 3 days. There is AC available, which is an extra 7 euros per day. The room really didn’t matter that much though, since there is so much to see and do in Malia and at the hotel, that you are rarely inside your room very much anyways. 

Location

The hotel is in the perfect location. Just steps away and you are in the middle of downtown Malia. There are restaurants everywhere, the grocery store is less than a 5 minute walk, tons of souvenir shops, bars, and the beach is about a 10 minute walk. Malia is quite a poppin town and it does get pretty loud and rowdy around 2:00am-3:00am, but you could barely hear all of that at the hotel. Which was odd since it was steps away from the main street.

All of this for a super cheap price. I was a little skeptical at first, but by the end of our stay, we were all very sad to leave! Money well spent, and we would gladly do it again.

The location, the price, but most importantly the people! all made our stay unforgettable.
