Danelis Studios & Apartments

Just spent a week at Danelis, what a fantastic little find! The pool area is so relaxed, always sun beds available. The food is outstanding (I’m a chef) absolutely delicious! The customer care from the whole family whom run this together are an absolute delight. Nothing is too much trouble. Rooms are kept immaculately clean by the lovely Maria 🫶 I will definitely be returning 🇬🇷

Absolutely brilliant hotel from start to finish they was welcoming and friendly couldn't do enough.The food was amazing my other half was obsessed with the carbonara to be fair tho I tasted and was really good.room was everything we needed basic but clean and had all you need for self catering would highly recommend if going to Malia brilliant job danelis you did really good and made are holiday thank you.

A family run set of apartments, in a very central location for exploring the east of the North coast. Nikos and Makis were always cheerful and the food mama made was delicious and served quickly. There were lots of cafes and restaurants within walking distance. The pool area is lovely and we enjoyed the pool table and lovely cocktails( expect UK prices though) A few less welcome things though - the music played by the pool was loud and continued all day so our ‘quiet’ holiday - we chose this place because that’s how it was described online - was anything but and we chose to stay out all day rather than sit and listen to it. I don’t mind a bit of music near the bar maybe or where people were eating but personally prefer my time sunbathing to be quiet and peaceful. Self catering facilities were basic - two small rings and a fridge that had seen better days but I guess that’s the three stars. We were told the room would be cleaned each day. It isn’t - not a massive problem to us but might be for some. The bins were emptied twice and we got new towels once though I suspect you could have asked for more. You pay extra for safe, TV and aircon or heating and the balcony is in the shade - this might be a bonus in summer. Overall - basic room but nice pool area which would have been lovely if quiet.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Malia. The rooms were clean and comfortable, making it easy to relax. The owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming, adding a personal touch to the experience. The location is peaceful and quiet—perfect for unwinding—but still just a short, easy walk to both the beach and the charming old town, packed with fantastic restaurants. Plenty of sunbeds by the pool too. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing and convenient getaway!

This hotel gives the warmest welcome. The pool is amazing, with the addition of the poolside bar. Staffed by the friendliest people I've met here. This is the third time I've been to Crete and value this establishment highly. I always look forward to landing and making this one of our first stops.

Das Wichtigste zuerst. Unsere Zimmer waren sauber, die Betten gut, es war ruhig. Auch die Anlage war gepflegt und der Service der netten Familie war super. Unser Bad war allerdings nicht so toll. Leider gab es keine Duschwand, so dass wir uns beim Duschen hinhocken mussten, um das Bad nicht komplett zu überschwemmen. Außerdem war die Toilette nicht mit dem Boden verschraubt, so dass sie bei jeder Bewegung wackelte und Lärm machte. Meine Familie und ich waren die letzte Oktoberwoche in Malia, was einerseits gut ist, um der Party-Saison zu entgehen. Andererseits schlossen im Laufe der Woche einige Lokale und Geschäfte für die Saison. Nichtsdestotrotz konnten wir in der Altstadt von Malia sehr gut essen und auch am Strand von Malia fanden wir akzeptable Lokale. Außerhalb der Saison ist der Strand sehr schön und das Meer warm genug zum Baden. In Anbetracht des Preises finden wir die Kritikpunkte nicht so schlimm. Letztendlich waren wir mit der Unterkunft zufrieden.
