After reading the other reviews on here, me and my 5 friends (all girls) were worried about the Iris Apartments, however they were fantastic. They were very basic although that was expected after the great price we paid. All the staff are very friendly and as soon as we... more

Three friends and I stayed at the iris apartments in july 08. It was arite for a 2star accommodation. Maria is very nice and polite and has a very laid back attitude towards you, unless you give her a reason not to be. We had one of the best apartments within the complex... more

after reading some of the reviews on this hotel myself and 3 friends were a little worried, however, there was no need as the hotel was brilliant. we had airconditioning (extra charge but worth it) which made our stay so much better, the pool was clean and the food was nice... more

me and two other friends stayed at the iris for 10 days and it was really good. the rooms were clean, maria was really helpful and you definately get your moneys worth. the only bad things are that you have to pay 50 euros a week for air-con and the pool has lots of... more

Ignore all the bad reviews you have read on this place. The hotel is a 2star... what do some people expect?! The location - Right by the beach, about a 2 min walk. It is at the end of the main strip so it much quiter than most of the other hotels in malia. There is loads to... more

Amazing location, great hotel
myself and one friend stayed here for a week in august 2009, we turned up in the afternoon and didnt really know where to go but the other guest around the hotel helped us and led us to Maria, one of the hotel managers. she took our passports (which is normal out there) and offered both air conditioning (20 euros per week) and a safe (15 euros i think) for a specific price. we chose just to buy a safe but we should have paid for the air conditioning too as it did get a little bit stuffy, but we coped! I do recommend paying for the safe and... more
By the beach and best 2 bars in malia...what can i say!!!
Okay so I stayed in this hotel with my 2 other friends in August. I have been to malia before in 2008 but at a different hotel. When we arrived at 4 in the morning we were greeted by nikos and maria...very friendly and helpful. Maria seemed to be awake every day and every night and if we needed anything she was always there. This hotel was fairly cheap so we werent expecting alot but it was spacious and had 2 hobs and fridge....just what we needed for our beers!! The hotel is right by the beach...you cant get much closer and is at... more
This is Malia, and you get what you pay for!
if like me, youve booked this because it was fairly cheap then dont expect it to be 4*! the rooms are a bit dated but clean. In it located right on the end of the strip so perfect if you want a wild night out. The pool was a bit grim, but it wasnt a problem for me as the beach was right on the door step.
loved it here the other review is ridiculously misleading!
After reading the previous review i was slightly apprehensive about staying at the Iris. Being in a group of three 17 year old girls, on our first holiday away from parents etc, we were a bit nervous anyway and after reading this review we were more than a little regretting booking to stay there! Obviously not expecting 5* luxury, but not staying in a 'filthy and smelly' room. But i can honestly say, the rooms were not filthy and smelly, or dark and dingy. They were simple, basic, clean and more than acceptable to live... more
Do not visit
Ok not got much time here but listen do not visit this hotel it was the worst stay of myl ive. I went on holiday with 12 guys last summer we were assaulted by hotel security, made to pay for damages that did not happen and not to mentions the rooms are filthy and smelly and dark and dingy.
Management response from MaliaMariairis

hi, my name is Maria and since 2008 i am the owner of the hotel. Me and my family bought this hotel and since then all our guests are very happy with the hospitality, the service and the quality of the hotel. So we welcome you to visit us for a pleasant holiday!
