Always stay here when in Malia. Koula and staff are excellent hosts
Zentrale Lage, nette Besitzerin, Balkon, gute Aircondition ohne Aufpreis, Mini-Küche, tägliche Reinigung, Nachtrezeption. Alles sehr sauber und praktisch.
Durch nahe Partyzone Lärm bis 2/3/4 Uhr morgens, zumindest in der Hauptsaison. Beim Buchen auf Zimmergrösse achten. 15m2-Zimmer sind nur für Einzelpersonen oder Liebespaare geeignet. Es gibt auch grössere, etwas teurere Zimmer...
Koula and her husband look after you from start to finish nothing too much trouble for them. Looked after my son Jamie. Beautiful greek yoghurt breakfast with fruit, honey, walnuts the lot. Toasties and bottles of mythos. Thank you koula.
Good location to the strip but was also very quiet
Très bien placé, piscine c’était cool et propriétaire très sympathique.
Lorsque nous sommes arrivés il y avait des cheveux sur le sol et le lit. Le lavabo était bouché et la chambre n’était vraiment pas très propre avec de la poussière et des linges sales et tachés. Les deux derniers jour nous n’avons pas eu d’eau chaude. L’agent de la sécurité dormait pendant son shift et venait nous demander pas très gentiment de faire moins de bruit alors que les voisins d’en bas avaient la musique à plein feu.
Location and the staff
Everything, koula is class
Nout
The staff were so friendly just what you want and perfect for a lads holiday breakfast was also nice
can't take any other items round by the pool even water on items brought on premises
Sehr gute Lage, in der Nähe der Partystraße, aber doch etwas zurück. Sehr nette Besitzer. Zimmer war sauber und gut ausgestattet. Hab mich sehr wohl gefühlt
Nachts ist die Partystraße zu hören, das sollte man wissen bevor man die Unterkunft bucht.
Gute Famuliere Atmosphäre,
Koula was very welcoming and friendly and couldn’t do enough for us! The location was great, just a short walk from the strip
L emplacement, le personnel, le prix
Excellent hotel with exceptional service, friendly and professional staff, and spotless, comfortable rooms. The facilities are well maintained, and the atmosphere is relaxing and welcoming. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great holiday experience. We will definitely be back! Thank you !!

Location is brilliant, our room was comfortable and the owners couldn't do more to make you feel at home!! 🤩
Nothing not to like!!
Our room was comfortable, excellent shower, plus our very own balcony!! But the host really was the host with the most, made mama's little Prince feel at home, thanks Cola 🤩
Having to leave!! 😅
Un petit hôtel familial tenu par des gens adorables à l’écoute et aux petits soins , d’une grande gentillesse , mon séjour en Crète était super et c’est grâce à eux également, hôtel avec un parking très bien situé à l’entrée de Malia avec pleins de restaurants à Proximité, je reviendrais ! Rapport qualité prix incroyable , merci ☺️
From the moment I arrived at iCandy Sol, I was greeted with the warmest hugs and a cheeky raki shot – the perfect welcome that set the tone for an unforgettable stay. But what truly made this place feel like home was Cola. Every single day started with her sweet voice calling out, “Hello baby!”, and from that moment on, we felt so safe, so loved, and so cared for. Cola isn’t just a host – she’s a heart. She looked after our wellbeing like we were her own family. On my birthday, she went above and beyond to make me feel incredibly special, and it’s moments like those that I’ll carry with me forever. She was always full of fun, ready to sit with you for hours, sharing stories, laughter, and her beautiful energy. The accommodation itself was perfect – the rooms were lovely, spotlessly clean, and amazingly priced. The pool was always pristine, and the poolside bar made every afternoon feel like a holiday dream. Our spacious balcony was the cherry on top – the ideal spot to relax and soak it all in. The location was amazing. Right on the strip. 15 minutes from the beach if you can walk past the promotors fast enough. (Make sure to try the gyros at fire and ice. Say hi to Nik the Greek for me) Saying goodbye to Cola was the hardest part, but as she always says, “It’s never goodbye, only see you later.” And we believe that with all our hearts. Thank you, Cola, for making iCandy Sol feel like a second home. We’ll miss you dearly. With love, Dani 💛
Piscine ok, très bon emplacement, personnel sympathique.
C’est la première fois que je laisse un avis négatif en ligne, j’ai longuement hésité car la gérante est plutôt aimable, tout comme la dame de ménage, mais cela ne compense pas le reste. L’établissement est extrêmement bruyant, aucune isolation sonore, on entend tout : les discussions dans le couloir, les portes qui claquent h24 les chasse d’eau du voisin, le bruit de la rue ou du rez-de-chaussée. La literie est inconfortable, et la cuisine est très mal équipée (1 feu à induction, 1 casserole, 1 poêle, 2 jeu de couverts, 2 tasses, 2 verres) aucun ustensile de base comme une passoire, un couteau ou une planche à découper. L’eau du robinet de la cuisine était jaune, la connexion wifi instable et parfois inutilisable, la climatisation capricieuse, il n’y aucun rangement à part 3 tiroirs de table de chevet donc impossible de déballer vos affaires. Le balcon est communicant avec la chambre voisine sans aucune séparation, ce qui oblige à garder les rideaux fermés pour préserver un minimum d’intimité, je n’ai pas envie d’être observée. Le service de ménage a apparemment jeté par erreur un sac contenant mes affaires de toilette. Cela peut arriver, et je pense que c’est une erreur honnête mais ce qui est inacceptable, c’est que l’hôtel refuse toute responsabilité et qu’aucune solution ou compensation ne m’ait été proposée. J’ai finalement écourté mon séjour, ne supportant plus le bruit et le comportement irrespectueux de certains clients. Cela fait plus de 10 jours que j’attends un retour de la gérante, sans réponse ni solution. J’ai réservé un autre établissement dans la même gamme de prix ou tout s’est parfaitement bien passé.
L’hôtel dans une rue tout proche de tout , commerces,restaurants, arrêt de cars… La propriétaire et d’une gentillesse toujours aux petits soins,ont peux manger sur place , boire à un verre !
Dommage qu’il y es qu’une seule petite plaque pour faire à manger,d’ustensiles nécessaires pour passer une semaine
Το ξενοδοχείο είναι οικονομικό και δίπλα σε ότι χρειάζεσαι... Άνετα κρεβάτια άνετο ντουζ και διαρρύθμιση. Η κυρία Κουλα ήταν πολύ φιλική και εξυπηρετική! Μεσα σε 1 μήνα έχω κάνει 2 φορές κράτηση σε αυτό το ξενοδοχείο!
Κάποιες φορές υπάρχει πρόβλημα με το Wi-Fi αλλά δεν με ενόχλησε έντονα από τη στιγμή που ήμουν δίπλα στα μέρη που ήθελα να διασκεδάσω!

De sfeer met de eigenaresse en haar man was geweldig , niets was teveel
Niks
Οι πιο φιλόξενοι ξενοδόχοι που έχω συναντήσει! Μας κέρασαν πολλά φαγητά και ποτά, μας πρότειναν που να πάμε και έδειχναν συνεχώς το ενδιαφέρον τους! Εξαιρετικοί άνθρωποι! Δεν μας έβλεπαν σαν πελάτες αλλά σαν φίλους τους! Ευχαριστούμε πολύ για όλα! Θα ξαναέρθουμε σίγουρα! Όλα ήταν τέλεια! Το δωμάτο, η πισίνα, το pool bar, η εξυπηρέτηση, η καθαριότητα!
Μου άρεσαν όλα!
Een warme ontvangst. De eigenaar is een hele lieve gast vrouw ze heeft ons goed ontvangen, mijn kinderen waren geliefd. Mijn kinderen hebben echt genoten van het zwembad. De kamer werd elke dag netjes schoon gemaakt overal was schoon, de kamers en rond het zwembad. Alles is op loop afstand supermarket en natuurlijk ook het strand ⛱️ Verder kregen wij goede informatie van de gastvrouw waar de kinderen konden gaan genieten. Veiligheid was gegarandeerd. Ik kom zeker terug 🥰
Niets te klagen
Все було чудово. Готель знаходиться в самому центрі, недалеко від усіх нічних закладів, але незважаючи на це музику не дуже гучно чути. Від автобусної зупинки 5 хв. Власниця готелю дуже привітна жіночка! Дякуємо за все! Повернемося ще не раз!!
Немає такого
The host was a nice lady
The rooms were really dirty, my friend had found a man underwear in the bathroom and a lot of mess in the rest of the room…in my room under bed i had found chips and ood food….
The hospitality of the owners and family made us feel at home
Nothing
It was clean with a modern finish
Everyone was nice and very helpful. Very comfortable.with private parking 🅿️ Very clean.just a few metres from the center.
Everything was fine. Great choice.
Good location
Staff were rude
By far the worst one of the worst hotels I’ve stayed in owner shouts all day and night and is very rude and abusive
Been on many holidays, stayed in many hotels and this is hands down the worst property I’ve ever stayed in
Unclean bedding, broken shower and owner rude and abusive. Had to ask for toilet roll.
We enjoyed our holiday at ICandy Sol. The hotel has a good location. We liked it here and we will come back. The boss Mamma is the best!
So, I wanted somewhere close to the strip but not with pounding music all night. Somewhere that didn't feel grotty. but didn't charge those 5* prices. This hit the spot perfectly. About 30 metres off the main street down a side road this place is easy to find and had a manned reception during normal hours (important, cos some places don't). Room was clean and looked to have had refurbished touches that you wouldn't normally expect in this price bracket. Would happily stay here again and for longer. In Malia, its best to avoid the ultra cheap places because they are ultra cheap for a reason. At the high end there are some absolute crazy ways to waste your money but this is neither.
Property’s location was excellent around the corner from the Malia strip. Facilities were clean and our aircon was working perfectly.
Pool was small that’s about it.
The owner woman was strange
Nice clean room. 1 min to go to supermarket. Perfect for these money.
Almost no place to put clothes. Sometimes can be noisy from outside because of night party life.
very good location, clean and cheap. All you need for a lads/girls holiday.
the old lady is a crazy, will be shouting all throughout the day. But she was okay in general I guess.
Location, clean rooms, good price
Rude kids from England, yelling all the time, at night drinking and making noise.. Lady of the hotel had to calm them down very ofter
Bad service. Bar had no staff.
Located in a very convenient location- shops, restaurants nearby. Room reasonable, but a bit small for two people and an awkward shape. Courtyard quiet but not private.
So good accommodation for the price compared to others hotels , this was the best choice, everyone is friendly , has lift as well so you will not get your luggage by yourself . Location so good , next time will definitely book there for longer .
I like everything
The hotel was right on the Malia strip which was a positive. The rooms and pool were also very nice
There was an old women who was quite rude to me and my friends at any given opportunity.
I would recommend Candy apartments 50 ms from candy sol The manager of Candy Sol an old woman was unbelievably rude and totally unprofessional,I would not stay there again even for free.
