  This a good little hotel, not a tourist factory with thousands people. The team and management are very nice and provide good service. Swimming pool is very pleasant without any chemical products but very clean. Cleaning of the room can be done each day including Sunday up to 2PM (except the check-out day), for our part, we requested only each 3 days.There is a lot of flowers, plants and a tall cactus. Sun beds around the pool are various, you have some with Umbrella, other without if you want sun, some have mattress, other just to stay after swimming. There is a correct AC and WIFI.Guests are pleasant: young people, families, from many countries.For sure, I recommend it for travelers who need something with correct prices and at human size. You have many restaurants and bar all around or you can buy drinks or food in each mini market around. Just before the Mc Donald's when you turn right at Malia main church, you have a small super market with cheapest prices and very quality of products (vegetables, fruits, drinks, yogurts ...)Single negative point, the area is noisy up to 2AM, especially in the streets because Malia is a small town but with several clubs and many bars. But if you close the windows put a small amount of AC, you will pass a very good night.Maria the manager is adorable and she helped us on everything we asked for. Cleaning personnel is also very helpful, and the is a very serious person to keep track during the night.For sur I return there when I come back to Crete.

  Avoid staying at Stella Maria!!!

  I would say that the hotel is average and its location is fine-ish (in sense of the city centre and the beach), however, the lady (Maria) who runs the place is the reason why I would never recommend the place. She is incredibly rude, grumpy and unfriendly, despite that you are the guest. Another thing is that if you are two or more people, there is simply only one key for the door, so you all have to make sure that you are leaving/coming back together. Additionally, there is no way to leave the air con on, while you are outside of the room as there is no electricity to make it work.And DO NOT BOOK with Malia@Cars, that are recommended by them as this is her sister's company and this perhaps will be the worst experience of your life.

  Not too bad

  The hotel owners were lovely especially dimitri who always spoke to us Although the rooms weren’t very clean but not more you can expect from a 2 star budget hotel The walls are paper thin so you can hear everything which often woke me up WiFi wasn’t too good and barely worked Really good location 2 min walk to strip5 min walk from the beach and restaurants all around so really good

  Good

  Good Hotel Very Basic. I liked the location close to shops,clubs and beach. The only problem was the night guard I found him very unprofessional and spoke inappropriately when having conversations with him. I understand it is a clubbing island and people want to get layed but I did not appreciate the night guard asking whether I would like to have s*x with him, he also kept bringing up story’s about girls having s*x/ sexual favours with him and telling me he allowed hotel guest to take guys/girl to the back of the hotel toilets to have s*x. It made me feel very uncomfortable so I had my friends walk me up to my room every night so I could avoid contact at all costs.
