1 reader found this review helpful

me and some girlfreinds went to stay her last september and had the worst holiday ever!!!!
I never meet such rude people in my life i know i the holiday was rather cheap as we werent looking to spend to much but seriously the serves was disgraceful we were shouted at when we came back in to late we had to pay 40 euros to get back or passports and overoll the hotel maintances was a mess.
I would never go there again and i would advise anyone wishing to go there reconsider

I went on holiday to crete for a week in july with a group of 8 girls. We had a fantastic time in Malia, the weather was great and the hotel was quite basic but for the price that we paid worth it. Luckily none of us had to pay for room damages but we did see other guests - usually groups of lads - charged for their rooms being damaged/unclean. However, one thing i will criticise is that i would reccommend that you do not go for the bed and breakfast option - go self catering. I only made it down once as i found it pointless after the first venture - the choice was minimal and it was very unappetising. The food in general at the bar isn't very good - i survived on cheese and ham toasties all week, and its also quite expensive to buy drinks, but with the strip being so close it wasn't much of an issue. Last random point i bought a banana colada - and it tasted of lemon slush avoid at all costs!!

I went to Malia with three of my friends, the hotel is lovely and very clean. However George is not a ledgend he is a grumpy man, he shouted at us for talking when we came in at night. Marios is very funny, though we didnt really see him that much. Nightlife is brilliant. The beach is quite far away from hotel. Had a great fandango holiday, would definetly go again but at right time of the year as some bars were shut already for end of season! Watch out for sexy PRs on the strip.

Malia dedalos hotel is ideally positioned in the Malia Resort. My boyfriend and I are a young couple in our early 20's so we thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere that Malia offered. The old village has some beautiful restaurants. Ideally Malia is for young people who are with there friends but there were families their so who ever you go with you will have a fab time.
Cant wait to go back to crete.

My husband and I stayed here for one week at the beginning of September We really enjoyed it!
Was nervous about going to Malia as we had heard all the hype about the young kids getting drunk etc But we shouldn't have worried Perhaps with hindsight we would have chosen another resort, but we managed to find some lovely places The Old Village is great and the San Georgiou restaurant is a must We found some lovely bars and restaurants away from the main strip and the beach between Malia and Stalis is within easy walking distance and was beautiful
The hotel was lovely The staff - especially Koula, Charlie and Marios were really fab and made our stay very enjoyable The rooms were as expected fairly basic,but the shower was good and powerful and the bed comfortable The cleaners did a good job of cleaning the room everyday and we couldn't fault a thing
Overall we had a brilliant time and whilst we maybe should have picked a different resort, we have nothing but good things to say about the Dedalos!!

A really great holiday desitination. At the Malia Dedalos you get all the fun of a holiday in the sun with all the bars and restaurants you could want just round the corner but a relaxed feeling at the hotel. Its is not luxury accommodation but there is everything that you could need. The pool is great and so is the bar and staff. Security are great and keep any drunk teenagers quiet after midnight so what more can you ask for!
I loved it and can no wait to go back!

DONT STAY HERE!! i cant believe all the people saying this hotel is good. The staff are all violent, especially the security gaurd George!! When we went out everyone we spoke to knew the hotel and staff because they have such a reputation for being rude and swearing non stop. One night i came in and George started shouting "go to your room, im going to come with my friends and [--] you up"...and were 2 girls!! This went on every night without fail, whether we were staying in or going out. They have this rule there that after 12 you have 2 be scilent...not even quiet, scilent, which considering how close to the stip of clubs is pretty stupid.
Marios, the owner may come over friendly but he really isnt. One night he took his master key, unlocked our door and walked in on me and my friend when we were sleeping looked arounf and walked out 5 mins later with no apology...considering hes an old pervy man was not good. When we complained they just laughed and shouted at us???
Another rule is your not allowed anyone back to your room, which is fair enough, but your also (according to george and marios) not allowed to go in any of the other guests rooms aswell which is stupid considerng are other friends were there too!! I also warn you...they will try and charge you for everything!!!!! they have a list of prices for everything from the towels to the chairs, sheets to the lights!!! and there ridiculously expensive, like 30 euros for a glass!!! since they take your passports when you check in you HAVE TO PAY!!! even if its not really broken or the sheets are apparently stained!! luckily for us we were friendly with the cleaner!!
My advise is steer clear of this hotel....if you want to be close to the strip go 18-30's, they all seemed like nice clean hotels, if you want something quieter go to one of the hotels on the beach or in stalis....but DONT stay here....be warned!!!
p.s This is no reflection of malia...because i had a brill time in the clubs and bars....especially appollo and lush bar!!! beach is fun, food is pretty bad and if you rent a quad bike be warned...it may seem cheap at the time but the people you hire it off of will find your bike, break it and charge you for it, or steal it and make you pay for it, no lie, saw it happen!!

Malia Dedalos hotel is awesome, couldn't have had a better hotel to stay i Malia.
The hotel staff are great especially Marios, he made us feel very welcome as soon as we arrived!
Don't listen to any bad reviews, its in a perfect location just literally 2minutes away from the main strip, the security guard is on watch all through the night so it's very safe and help is always at hand!
We didn't have muc time to get up for breakfast but the one time we did it was pretty basic but the food in the snack bar was nice and quite cheap! Overall Dedalos hotel definitely helped make our holiday and would recommend the hotel and Malia to any young people up for a good night out with friends!!

wouldnt recommend anyone staying in this hotel, not unless you want to be assualted by the hotel staff. The room doesnt look anything like it is in the brochures. The furniture is really old, the bed is about 2cm thin and they dont even provide you with toilet roll! The handle fell off our balcony door so anyone could walk in coz we were on the ground floor. The hot tap didnt work in the sink, but we were ok as we would just get a wash in the shower, until the hot water went off in the shower aswell! i ended up using a courtesy shower across the other side of the hotel. This hotel just seem to want to take your money. They made me leave my passport with them for the whole week. When i went to get my passport back at the end of the hol the woman on reception said she needed to check our room. Apparently we got a bit of make up on the towel so she wanted $20 or no passport! I said it was just a bit of makeup and would come out in the wash- what do they expect when then only changed the towels once in the whole week. She was very aggresive and pushed me and also called us putanis in front of all the other guests, i later found out this means slut or slag in greek. We asked to complain to a manger, the manager just laughed in our face. We ended up paying $10 for a manky grey hand towel which wouldve came clean in th wash and was worth half a euro, but atleast i got my passport back. Lots of people told us they had taken money of them aswell. Wouldnt stay in this hotel if you paid me.

We thought the hotel was brilliant lovely rooms looks a whole lot better when your there than on the website. staff were very helpfull especially charlie and marios who were brilliant the only downfall are the pr's at the union jack at the top of the strip thats all but the hotel was brilliant and as long as u know about football, marios will always look after you all through out your stay and charlie is lovely she will help you out as much as she can.
