Dedalos Hotel

"Great time in crete small hotel very friendly hosts. Good location between Malia old town and bars leading to beaches. Our room overlooked tropical gardens."

"The location is quite good because it is far from the noise of the main street, which is super lively and noisy. 3 parking spaces in front of the hotel is a bit tight, but other spaces are available behind the hotel on a vacant lot in front of and behind an abandoned building. We hesitated to park our car, it wasn't reassuring, but we didn't have any problems. Breakfast is super industrial, identical every day, and has little choice. Upon our arrival, we were assigned room 226 (a horror, not redone, turning on the AC trips the circuit breaker, horrible view, not in accordance with our reservation). We asked the receptionist for a room change, who took our request lightly and did nothing, but the next day the person who was at the front desk found us a better room corresponding to our reservation."

"DO NOT STAY HERE. This is a hotel on the STRIP of Malia however the staff seemingly hate dealing with younger people , which of course is the majority of people staying in the hotel due to its location.The old woman was terribly rude upon check in and screamed at my friend for assuming he could go to his room once she had given him his key.The woman was shouting at us all as though we were naughty school children and we had only just arrived.Then another older man came and basically said we would be sleeping on the streets if we annoyed him at all during our stay.We also got the same talk about don’t go into each others rooms etc which seems ridiculous, for example one night I had to help my friend to their room as they were in a bad way, but the security guard prevented me from going with him and told me to go to my room.The older man who threatened us at check in also made life hard for us around the pool, he complained that there was water around the pool, which again seems ridiculous because it’s a pool , of course there’s gonna be water round the sides from when you get out?He also saw us on inflatables in the pool and decided to write ‘ no inflatables allowed’ on a chalkboard which was obviously just a rule he’d made up there and then as there was nowhere on the actual pool rules board that said that, then told us we were on our final warning or we’d be on the streets when we questioned why he’d done that despite not bothering them once. Another instance was my friends toilet had leaked through the wardrobe onto all his clothes, when he complained about it , the staff blamed him for the leak and said it wasn’t their problem. Thats just a few examples of staff being unpleasant but for me it was enough to put me off staying there and I wouldn’t recommend anyone else to stay there"
