The experience was good, the room did the job and was clean, but the location was on the worst party street in town. At night there was loud music until almost 5am.

Even though our initial impression at arrival was disappointing we in the end enjoyed our stay at Malia. This especially because the housekeeping lady as well as the receptionist where very friendly and helpful. My overall impression of Malia is not the best. This is due to the extrem noise (as our room was located to the party street) . Bed lining ripped and with cigarette burn holes, not sufficient cutlerie and pots and a missing shower curtain in the bathroom. Being charged extra for AC seems unusual to me even when being mentioned in the hotel description at the very end. What stroke me most was the fact that the back-office lady threatened me to involve a lawyer and sue me in case I would not withdraw my initial guest feedback at arrival

Not as advertised or as pictures shown. I'm happy to do rustic or shaby, but this hotel was not that...

1. aircon should definitely be included in the price 2. the rooms are dirty, they smell like sewage. The shower is open so the whole bathroom is wet after taking a shower 3. very loud at night, many britains that are screaming, knocking on other doors and having a party in their rooms even though the place is in the center of Malia‘s party life. 4. you feel uncomfortable all the time because the staff is not responding to a simple ,,hello“ or ,,can you help me real quick?“ - i felt ignored. The ladies at the 24/7 tobacco store across the street are very friendly though and they helped guiding me through Malia. It was okay for a few days, but I wouldn‘t do that again. Don‘t forget your Oropax.

I knew this hotel would be noisy, being in the heart of the strip, but what I was not prepared for was the round the clock auditory assault on my mortal senses. The whole place is designed with such terrible acoustics that a gentle closing of a door sounds like a sack of cement dropped 50ft from a loading crane. Anyone walking down the corridor will sound like Godzilla stomping around inside a cathedral. Even the dropping of coins on the floor (an oddly frequent event in the room next to me) is so nerve jarringly loud I was awoken constantly thinking Scrooge McDuck had broken into my room. The rhythmic pounding of deep house music from the local bars subsides at around 05:30, and after the bellowing of football chants and indecipherable nonsense at around 06:00, you get a blissful 2 hours of sleep before the cleaning lady commences her rounds. Now as a former cleaner, I can tell you that if you don't need to use a vacuum, the task can be completed in near silence. Such facts are unknown to the lady here who is apparently a disciple of Cakophanus - the greek God of making an unholy racket. Now, I only fixate on the noise because I, like you, am human, and do need to sleep at least once in a week. Taking the noise issue aside the hotel is handy for the pool parties and is excellent value for money in the high season. Sadly its hard appreciate these things in the depths of insomnia. Whoever wrote "no rest for the wicked" might have been staying at Oasis Studios.

Great location and pool, room "barely basic", outdated, noisy at night but was not expensive.

Very dirty..unfriendly..very unprofessionell ...rooms are not like the fotos
