Philoxenia Hotel Malia

We were thrilled, a very nice and cleanly managed family hotel not far away, maybe 3 minutes to the beach, very delicious dinner, 10 points for the chef. The entire staff is simply great. Unfortunately, we were only there for one week but will definitely come back.

We were a little disappointed by the experience here, especially because of the room. First of all we didn’t receive the room that we paid for through our agency, but another one. The rooms don’t look like in the photos anymore so they need an update. Our room had old furnitures, not enough light and fresh air, we couldn’t keep the windows open because of the mosquitos. We also saw a lot of cockroaches in the bedroom and bathroom. Also dead insects on the walls. Not all the lights were functioning. The location is good, 5 min away from the beach, a lot of shops nearby. Breakfast was ok, the atmosphere was nice outside at the bar. Free access to the pool but not to the SPA zone with sauna and jacuzzi, for that you are charged with 10 euros. They should invest more in the confort of their rooms, they are old and smell stale and damp, because the hotel has potential

rude staff can’t even talk on the balcony without being screamed at when literally next to the loud strip. Stare you down as you leave, and make you very uncomfortable
