We stayed for 3 nights in a nice new and big apartment. Good airco and a good bathroom. although we arrived late the staff was very nice and helped us right away when we could not get the airco to work. It has a good pool and a nice pool bar where you can have a decent breakfast, lunch and dinner. The prices are normal. It is a little far from the beach but you can still walk there.

on arrival we were shown to a newly refurbished room where there was free bottles of water and wine by friendly members of the family. Ours was not a spacious studio but it had everything we needed and over our stay it was cleaned daily. The free buffet breakfast had plenty of variety and was served in the immaculate pool bar, a lovely start to the day. The pool (which is an optical illusion when viewed from above) and its surroundings are superb. spacious, plenty of sunbeds and not closed in by buildings which makes it a restful place. It is quite a distance from the beach but close in the very attractive old town. We would choose this hotel again.

Good location in Malia Old Town - rooms average - beds low and quite uncomfortable - excellent buffet breakfast - was told check out time was 10am and not 12 noon as stated when I booked - this upset quite a few other guests . Food and drink quite expensive.

I personally did not enjoy the Malia area as it was too touristy and lots of heavy partying area. However, I would definitely recommend this hotel as it was one of the best in the Malia area if you are staying there.

We've just arrived back from a 10 day stay at the Kristalli. I was very dubious about staying so near to Malia but my worries were unfounded. This is a family run business and they are all absolutely lovely- I can't praise them enough. They are all friendly and helpful and the hotel is quiet set in Old Malia, not far from the madness of Malia if that's what you want. We didn't and there were lovely taverna's near by and only a few minutes drive away you are in the tranquil mountain setting with picturesque villages, monastries and caves. There are beaches nearby and the best one we went to is Potamos beach which is quiet and sandy with clear blue water. This is about a 10/15 minute walk away.

I was staying on my own as part of a wedding party spread over various hotels. As such I was in and out of the Kristalli at odd times, which was always handled well - on my first night I checked in at 4am with a friendly welcome and no problems. The staff were always on hand, especially at breakfast, or around the pool bar if I needed food, drinks, or a taxi. The food from the pool bar was very good, and the hotel grounds were well-kept. My room was fairly simple, but clean. The other guests were mostly couples and families who were well-behaved and friendly. On-site parking is also available if you need to hire a car. But it was a short walk to the beautiful Malia old town (around 7 minutes if you know where you're going) and it's certainly possible to walk or take a taxi to the beach or bars and clubs on the main strip. Thank you George and Katerina for a lovely relaxing holiday. This is a very nice little family-run hotel if you want somewhere fairly quiet near the old town but with access to the nightlife.

We stayed for 1 night and got very nice and comfort appartment. The view is fantastic and the room is very comfortable. Need to improve the signs from the main road to the location. The way from the main road to the locations is a little bit hard to drive.

Although we didnt particurlarly like Malia we really loved our accommodation. We got off the bus and asked some locals where the hotel is and turned out we were asking the night security guard from the hotel and he kindly offered us a lift. We checked in and had our room upgraded and free bottle of wine waiting in the room on arrival which was a nice touch. As Malia is orientated toward british party goers the breakfast at the hotel was catered towards them but was still very good and reasonably priced. The hosts were fantastic, very friendly and a good laugh at the bar. This hotel is great value for money and would reccomend to anyone staying in Malia. If only it was in a nicer part of Crete!
