Dedalos Hotel

Frühstücksbuffet war in Wieserholung und wechsel zwischen Spiegel-, und im Ofen gebackenes Rührei leider wenig abwechslungsreich und nach ein paar Tagen keine Offenbarung mehr. Da könnte dringend was geändert werden. Parkplätze sind ein Problem, denn es gibt leider nur 3. Entweder man hat Glück, oder man muss gegenüber auf einem Parkplatz 10 Euro/Tag löhnen. 60 Euro für 7 Tage oder 3 Euro pro Stunde. Diesbezüglich wird, so wurde uns berichtet, leider nichts vom Hoteleigentümer unternommen.

Hotel itself was fine, however we were met with a really rude member of staff who is the man who does night shifts and chases people with a torch, upon arrival he was immediately rude as we came in as a large group at nighttime, and he asked me a question which when i answered he told me to “do my job” and continue writing on the paper he had given me to check in , within a day or two he became nice to us upon realising that we weren’t going to cause any chaos, but otherwise he should not have spoken to any of us this way , not the way we wanted to be greeted to our trip, he was the only issue we had but it was very off putting.

The hotel is very nice, we weren't given the room we booked but they did rectify it , our room was nice,clean and good outside area, pool was amazing sunbed area excellent exceptional clean, breakfast was ok the breakfast lady was so lovely, night security guy was brilliant, bar staff very nice and polite, a couple of older members of staff a lady with blonde hair and a older man weren't as friendly, room cleaners were lovely and friendly , drinks were ok, cocktails not so good, food was very nice especially the club sandwiches and curly fries. Overall I'd give it a 7/10 there is room for improvement. But we enjoyed our stay!

Do NOT go here. The staff are so rude and seem to favour boys over girls. We got beach towels and were told we had to pay but the boys didn’t because they were nice to him. He took a disliking to us as we complained multiple times and his only response was sorry it’s July, so continued to treat us like rubbish. As a group of five girls being separated and stuck on opposite ends of the hotel with the worst rooms ever. We were taken to a room round the back next to a storage cupboard. Our shower was a square on the floor, the aircon rubbish, cockroaches and centipedes, stains and not to mention towels or bed sheets never changed. The security guard was also rude questioning us every night even though we had the key and asked to see our room and passports. Not to mention half way through the holiday we all became so ill due to the lack of cleanliness in this place which ruined the last few days of our holiday. Do NOT go here it will ruin your holiday!

As soon as we checked in as a group of girls, the staff were rude and defiant when we said that the rooms were not like the pictures. Manager lied and said we would be close to eachother, but put us on separate ends of the hotel. His solution was to put the security guard outside our door ? We had to ask for soap- it was two small and thin bars of hand soap for three girls, to last 5 days. Our towels and sheets were only changed the day before we left and a cleaner came into the room, but only changed the bins the whole 5 days. When the cleaner only put 1 clean towel in my friends room instead of 2, the man said that they were lying and must of lost the clean one, before he finally gave my friend a clean towel. Since we rightfully complained the first day, the manager would visibly show his dislike for us. My friends room on the bottom floor had a gap under the door which they had to cover to avoid the cockroaches from coming in. Our aircons did not work, and we have all returned home very ill- I strongly feel it was due to the hygiene of the hotel.

Probably the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in. I went on a girls holiday with my friends, the day we got there my friend and I got put in a room outside the hotel?? Which was so small, derelict and unsafe. When i questioned the reason for this, one of the staff said that the toilet was broken and another said the air on broke?? So which one was it? Upon asking for a partial refund, as it was so far from what we had booked, we got told to “sleep on the streets” as two 18 year old girls?? Not very welcoming if you ask me. They told us to come back the next day at 12pm, I asked to see the room we would be staying in, the man shouted at us saying we can’t see it and told us to leave (clearly had been double booked). We had to spend the night in the small room with no air con, when we had paid for the most expensive room there. And got no refund or compensation. Only rude, little insecure men screaming at us. Not only this, the breakfast was horrific. Stale bread, mouldy yogurt and soggy mushrooms. When we actually got the room we’d paid for, there was wet dripping from the ceiling and dampness everywhere. Furthermore, our towels didn’t get changed once?? In 5 days?? We had to literally go and ask for them to be changed multiple times. They don’t make any of the beds or clean the place at all. The pool was tiny compared to the images online, probably used x0.5 to make it look bigger, not enough sunbeds for guests and the outdoor toilets were horrific and never cleaned . If you want to maintain your sanity please don’t book this hotel. The reviews are true, it is literally hell on earth x

The staff were rude as soon as we had checked in. Towels get washed every 3 days and although a cleaner comes to the room, sheets don’t get changed either. Stains on all pillows and bed sheets when we arrived, hair in the shower drain before it was used by us and aircon barely works. Gap under the front door which we had to block with pillows as there were cockroaches and centipedes outside the door. We got told we’d be staying near our friends and as a group of girls that was appreciated but we soon found out they where on the other side of the hotel to us. Staff continued to be rude throughout our stay. We had spoken to a group of boys at the hotel and they’re rooms where up to standard but still nothing like the pictures, but had new aircon, kettle , microwave and a clean bathroom even tho they had booked 3 months after us. When we had told the manager we didn’t feel safe being so far away from our friends and complained about the room he said security will stand outside you’re room and that’s all he can do. Staff didn’t care about any complaints or well being of the people who where staying there.

Lads holiday from hell!Staff are rude as anything never seen such bad customer service.Towels wearnt cleaned in days rooms pong of smeg rats and insects running about daily.Only positive from the stay is the security guard at night what a fella.Pool stunk of urine and poo cause the little fat kids kept letting there bowels lose.Dont stay here if you want a good lads/girls holiday.Got 2 more days here and can’t wait to leave if the manager wants to have it out we’re in room 210 come for a little chat.Scumbag!

Management is awful. The MOST anti social, anti tourist horrible people Ive ever been unfortunate enough of meeting. Patronising and disrespectful, one example of many being them snapping and clapping their hands to get the attention of one of their customers who hadn't payed them enough attention at the precise second they wanted. The boss, after giving us the wrong room tried to kick us out of the hotel and said”if you don't like it you can leave” this is not how I want to be treated and don't believe anyone should.

This is a family owned and run hotel. We have been going there for more than 20 years. The hotel is spotless and the staff are friendly and efficient. It is close to many amenities such as bars and clubs while also close to the older part of Malia where there are a number of restaurants serving local fare. Not too far to walk for those of a certain age, I have an 8 at the start of mine. We are going back in September for our second visit this year.

Séjour d'une nuit convenable Petit déjeuner copieux Hôtel calme mais attention aux moustiques

This was a great hotel. Great location. Comfortable beds spotless clean rooms. The grounds and gardens were clean and tidy and the staff were very nice. I must point out that when you get dropped off at the church at the top of the road you have to walk about 5-10 minutes down the road as the roads to tight for the big busses.

Very friendly staff. Value for money and a perfect location. Real Greec hospitality. Big ,clean and modern room. Also garden and pool are well maintained and clean. Staff is always willing to help when needed. Friendly family. Location in de middle of town.

Koula and popi are super friendly and so helpful.

A lovely place to stay with the lads, walls were thick enough so we couldn’t here robert getting piped 😂. Regardless, a nice place for a lads holiday but you might want to watch out for Ian. He’s an absolute specimen. The pool was lovely on hot days with the lads. Just watch out for Ian. Another review had issues with him as well so maybe it’s a theme.

Good location, walking distance to old town and beach. Swimming pool area well kept and excellent breakfast with pool view. Friendly staff, cosy hotel!

Excellent stay at Dedalos Hotel! Me and my mates stayed over here for a lads holiday, and we were very happy and impressed with the amazing customer service and hospitality we were provided with. Firstly, the hotel is absolutely beautiful, scenic and provides a relaxing, homely atmosphere and scenery. It was very calming to stay here, and all your stresses will be relieved. Honestly, this has got to be one of the most beautiful hotels I’ve stayed in, and it’s just very special and charismatic. When we first saw the hotel on Expedia, we fell in love with the scenery. The buffet breakfast was delicious, and there were loads of options. Wow, those Madeira cakes were out of this world! Everything is cooked fresh and it’s absolutely delicious. The staff were very friendly and the room service was provided adequately and everything was maintained to the highest standards. This honestly felt like a 4 star hotel, not a 3 star. The facilities are mesmerising and the hotel is in a very good location, literally a stone throw away from the Malia strip and very close to other local amenities such as supermarkets, restaurants, clothing shops etc. Overall, I would highly recommend Dedalos Hotel to you.

Very clean, particularly around the pool area. Very pleasant and well tended gardens. This gave the whole place a positive atmosphere.

Very friendly staff, particularly Kola, created a really welcoming and friendly atmosphere. With almost exclusively an adult clientele, no loud music, but pleasant chilled tunes, providing very relaxing days around the pool.

We really enjoyed our stay! Very clean and comfortable, pool is wonderful!

Excellent hotel food amazing rooms clean staff are great Koula makes this hotel whole vibe she was so lovely nothing was every a problem. Pool area clean everything you need close to beach near strip but enough away for quiet time. Food is good choice hot breakfast was good

In my opinion, the staff were very friendly and accommodating. You always had a good feeling and if you had questions or needed something you were helped directly.

Top la propriétaire est très agréable! Service au top pour le prix!

Complex zit vol jongeren dus tot diep in de nacht veel lawaai. Sanitair is erg verouderd en de badkamer is erg muf. Malia heeft voor mensen boven de 25 niet veel te bieden; is heel erg toeristisch. Personeel is erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam.

I was upgraded to a huge room with a lovely balcony. It was a mix of updated and traditional Greek layout. The kitchen had all appliances you would require. The bed, however, it was not very comfortable very hard. However, overall a great hotel to stay close to Malia strip but still very peaceful. Lovely pool area. Food and drink reasonably priced and lovely staff

Have to say read the reviews and I can't understand the negative ones. Still here the hotel is immaculately clean the staff are welcoming and lovely. The pool area is spotless as is the pool. It's a 3 star but feels more a 4. Please don't go by the negative reviews. We've another 5 days here and I would highly recommended this hotel to everyone. We are 3 mins away from the main strip which is buzzing with bars music, restaurants but this hotel is off a side road from the strip and we do not hear anything. It's clean, beautiful and friendly. You'd be mad not to want to come and stay here.

Don’t go to this rat infested, fifth, hell hole Room filthy Towels never changed Beds full of insects White shower curtain as black as soot Showers cold Shower tray full of slime and tears of crap Staff insolent Food on rations No new food any day and all leftovers Coffee soil scrapings from garden Alcohol is knock off crap Snacks are from a seaman’s lodge If you value your health, stomach and well being DO NOT PUT A FOOT IN THiS ABSOLUTE HELL HOLE

Voor de prijs die je betaald is het een goed hotel, maar de staat van een aantal zaken kunnen beter, o.a. de airco in de kamer die niet goed werkt, algehele staat van het appartement is redelijk. Er wordt wel elke dag schoongemaakt en dit is een plus punt. Accommodatie ligt ongeveer 100 meter van het bruisende leven van Malia, maar dit hoor je niet in het hotel.

It was a great holiday. The people are very king and it was clean and all looks new.

A small but very well operated hotel. Especially Koula was super friendly and welcoming, always a smile on her lips and ready to serve you the best way possible. Very good value for your money.

Great little hotel in Central Malia but still quiet at night . Lovely buffet breakfast ham, cheese, eggs, salad, fruit, cereal, and breads or toast with a rotation of 2 hot foods everyday, bacon, frankfurters, fried eggs, beans, omelette. Always a surprise to see what is in the hot plates. There is slso a small snack menu offering extra breakfasts and sandwiches, chips etc to keep you going through the day. The sraff are friendly and helpful. The rooms have a small fridge in and are cleaned everyday and beds made, we had a mid week towel change. The pool is lovely and clean and plenty of sun loungers. Another bonus the mattresses were not rock hard so I actually slept without my hips going numb. The main strip is 2 minutes away, supermarkets, tourist shops, bars, restaurants probably 15 minutes walk to the beach . So a great location.

Sehr gutes Preis-Leitungsverhältnis. Saubere Unterkunft, klein und familiär, sehr nette Betreiber. Die qm Angabe der Zimmer stimmt nicht wirklich, daher etwas Abzug.

Excellent établissement Koula est une femme exceptionnelle ainsi que le restant du personnel accueillant et chaleureux Je recommande cet établissement chaleureux propre et agréable

Lovely quiet hotel, pool and surrounding areas are nice and chill, great service from all staff at any time of day. The rooms were fine, fridges in both, one group of us were not in the updated part of hotel and we have no complaints, it was kept clean and fresh towels were given every 2nd day. Thank you everyone, and lots of love to Koula, from the Scottish girls xx

We cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. A special shout out to Koula at the front desk, Popi in housekeeping and Evangelio at the breakfast buffet. We are looking forward to our next stay.

Wir waren zu 2 dort gewesen. Das Hotel und die Anlage werden gut gepflegt und sind sehr ordentlich. Grundsätzlich ist die Anlage nicht riesig, sondern überschaubar. Das WLAN ist Super!!!, Die Mitarbeiter und Servicekräfte waren alle sehr nett und freundlich. ( Man konnte sich mit jedem gut unterhalten )für den Preis Unschlagbar

Accueil très sympathique très bel hôtel extérieur intérieur des chambres simples petit déjeuner copieux et prix imbattable je le recommande

Don’t stay in this hell hole Staff are useless and insolent Food is 10 yrs out of date Rooms are rat holes and filthy Towels and bedding are never cleaned or replaced Rooms are never cleaned Don’t waste your money staying here if you don’t want to go home with 1000 diseases Avoid like the plague

I was hesitant about the stay as in the past there has been negative reviews. I can honestly stay this was one of the nicest places I have stayed. Rooms, bar and pool area were all spotlessly clean. Rooms had aircon and a fridge, basic but had everything you needed. Staff were friendly and the manager was so lovely and made our stay. Would defiantly stay here again.

Dedalos was perfect! The check in was smooth and Koula was so welcoming. Clean rooms that are very spacious compared to other Malia hotels. Cleans spotless every day and new towels every other. The staff is the best part smiles all around and they treat you like family! Thank you I’ll be back next year!

Where do i begin to say things. This was an unplesent trip. When why arived the exterior is beautiful and well made. Our room was with 2 separate beds, it was dirty with hair everywhere , the shower was 30cm/30cm with an old cape to protect it from the door that was practicly in the shower. The food is mediocre and below quality that a guest need in a place like this, and above all things they feed me rotten cheese. The cleaning lady always came when people are sleeping and the hotel does not have a vacum so she never cleand the floor. I do not recomend this place.

Kaunis hotelli kokonaisuudessaan, hyvä sijainti sekä erittäin mukava henkilökunta, suosittelen!

Sehr freundlich geführtes Hotel, mit netter Chefin, spricht auch deutsch.Schöne saubere Anlage mit vielen Palmen und Pflanzen. Immer wieder gerne 👍

Pleasantly surprised. Great location, 3 minute walk to the main strip. I'm used to 4/5 star hotels, we only booked this for a cheap last minute getaway. It's not the 5 star experience, but we weren't expecting it to be, and going in with that mindset we had a very pleasant stay overall. The pool area is lovely, very well maintained, comfy seats, very relaxing. Nice bar, although staff are a little slow at times and seem more interested in chatting to each other than serving customers. The room is nice, comfy beds, nice big fridge, however the bathroom seriously needs updating, very old and rundown. More of a wetroom with no ventilation. Hand held shower with a hook on the wall that barely holds it up (ours kept falling down) Air con worked, although the buttons didn't so we couldn't adjust the temperature. From reading older reviews, I assume they've stopped charging extra for aircon now as we didn't get charged extra for it. One thing that was slightly annoying, on arrival you're asked to email some voucher to them, which I had no idea about. It was half midnight when we arrived, we were exhausted and had to faff around with wifi passwords and sending email attachments before we could go to our room. It would have been nice if the guy could have helped us with our luggage as well, he could see I was tired and struggling getting my 15kg suitcase up 2 flights of stairs and didn't bother helping. Breakfast was average, but again, I was expecting it to be. Continental, covers all the basics, tea, toast, perhaps an egg, ham and cheese, the usual. Overall it was a very pleasant stay, just a few things that could have been improved, but if you're looking for a nice cheap getaway I can definitely reccommend this place.

There was no emphasis on cleanliness, was there for 4 days and no changes to bedsheets and towels for all 4 days. Stinky common toilets near pool and the stench of it exists near main entrance and in common balcony. EnsuiteToilets are fairly basic too. Not at all a good experience.

Had the most amazing time staying here, hotel and room were both so lovely and clean. Drinks and food at bar very well priced and Koula was wonderful company. Very close to the strip and beach but no noise disturbances at all. Will definitely be back!

Super service og dejligt sted

Lieben Dank an das ganze Personal. Alle sind super sympathisch, hilfsbereit und freundlich. Wir hatten ein super Urlaub gehabt 👍

The host is the sweetest and caring person. She makes sure that everyone is having a good time and I always ready to help. We would totally recommend.

Good location, really cozy and good atmosphere. Also nice if you have to work (the best office one can have). Also very affordable, highly recommend it!

This is a lovely friendly family business! The staff are very kind, caring and helpful. The Garden is gorgeous and away from busy traffic and main street noises. The breakfast is well prepared with warm and cold options! My daughter (16) and I really enjoyed staying at this hotel! Massive thanks to all staff.

Friendly staff , clean and bed was comfortable .

Die Unterkunft war super wir haben es dort sehr genossen und die Chefin dort war einfach nur goldig. Ich empfehle es jeden weiter dahin zu gehen da es auch preislich unschlagbar ist

I liked Koula. Loved the sunbeds

Un hôtel à recommander. Personnel accueillant, chambres propres nettoyées tous les jours. Ce fut une très bonne expérience pour moi

Great location , lovely pool, rooms good size, nice balcony and very clean. 5 mins walk to Malia for both old and new town, 20 mins to beach . Food good at bar, breakfast buffet was good . Good value rooms and food . Staff friendly and helpful .

Dommage qu’il n’y a pas eu de nettoyage au niveau de la salle de bain et des sols durant toute la semaine. De plus les échanges de draps et de serviettes ont été effectués qu’à ma demande.

Nous avons été bien accueillis par les propriétaires de l’endroit. La chambre était propre et assez confortable, malgré que nous avions seulement deux lits simples. Par contre, la douche laissait vraiment à désirer ( vieille, très petite et drain bouché) hôtel très bien situé sur une rue très tranquille juste à côté de la rue animée. Le mini resort était luxuriant et bien entretenu.

Väldigt fint mottagande genom hela vistelsen. Mkt ungdomar på boendet och hela staden generellt men lugnt och städat på hotellet. Mkt bra boende.

Hotellet låg bra med massa restauranger, klubbar och supermarkets på gångavstånd. Fin omgivning och bra service från personalen. Mindre bra var att frukosten var alltid detsamma. Det var tråkigt att äta samma frukost varje dag. Duschen i toaletten var oerhört liten och trång. Hade bara draperier istället för glaskabin, därav hela golvet var fylld med vatten när man var färdig.

Personal Freundlich Allgemein ist gut gegangen

Great holiday. The Dedalis is great and Koula a wonderful host. Simply the best.

So la la. Erste Nacht war schlafen nicht drinn da der Rauchmelder wegen leerer Batterie immer gepiept hat. "Reparatur" war erst an nächsten Tag möglich. Ansonsten OK

Très propre, personnel accueillant, petit déjeuner correct et piscine agréable

Min ven og jeg nød 5 pragtfulde dage hos dedalos hotel med enorm god kundeservice og fremragende faciliteter! Kan klart anbefales!

Great property for the price. If you want a place where you can spend the whole day at the pool, this is it. Never too busy even during July. Room was spacious and clean. Appreciated the mini fridge with freezer. Houla at the front desk is amazing, she knows each guest and does everything to make sure they are taken care of
