Situated within 400 metres of Malia Strip, 24 Seven Boutique Hotel in the centre of Malia provides a bar, as well as free WiFi. Featuring a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with a restaurant.

Another hidden gem unlocked, this time on Crete. Still looking like new, good location and with its "own" restaurant just across de the street. Cute employees, delivering perfect service, from checking in to serving breakfast (which, btw, was another big surprise regarding how good it was and the way it was offered) or giving direction/information about what to do in the area. Also, I can understand a little bit of Greek, especially the "bad words", so the banter that went between them didn't go unnoticed and it was funny, especially at breakfast time. The beach is less than 15min of walking away and the old city less than 5 minutes. The "strip" with all the bars/clubs can be reached in less than 10min, same with the supermarkets. If you don't feel like walking to the beach, you can park yourself at the hotel's pool and relax. The bathrooms are clean, the shower large enough, nothing is cramped. The rooms also have a small "kitchen" area, with everything one needs. Also, pretty good AC. The restaurant is nicely decorated, on two levels and it has plenty of tables. The menu is about the same, everywhere on the island. Ate 2-3 times there, solid cooking. Parking spaces right next to the hotel (private parking, for customers).

beautiful building very modern, bed was comfy and was an actual queen bed and not two singles pushed together which is a rare sight. the bathroom was really nice and shower had great pressure. We could literally walk out of our room to the pool. loved the set up and was a decent location 15 min walk to everything. the staff were so nice and also had a super market connected so that was very convenient. Overall loved it and would definitely book again.

    Great place for a family holiday, we had a room for 5 which is a rare find (single bed and double bed upstairs and 2 sofa beds downstairs). Beautiful sandy beach is 5 mins away. Free wi-fi supported work from home. I thought it was a 3* hotel, but we used all the facilities of 4* Kyknos Beach - big pool with sun loungers, nearly always empty kids pool, great kids club, delicious meals. Cocktails included in all-inclusive. The hotel feels very lovely with many cosy dens to chill out and never felt crowded.

    We loved our stay and how comfortable the hotel was for us as parents of a 3.5 year old. Our daughter loved the pools and the gardens, as well as the beach. Also, the Little Explorers kids club and the kids nightly disco made it extra special for her. These details made it easy and relaxing for us. The food is quite good and we enjoyed the buffet breakfast and dinner, which had enough variety that we didn’t get bored. Our room was nice and private. We stayed in a garden bungalow and it was the right size for us and comfortably designed.

    Very close to city center, restaurants, supermarkets, walking distance, 5-10 minutes. For the beach is 15-20 minutes, you cannot do this with kids in the summer, you need a car, only 5 mins to a very nive beach Potamos. Staff is very friendly, like a family, breakfast is very nice and fresh, but a bit expensive 25 euros for 2 adults and 1 kid. The complex is very clean, the sheets are also changed daily, or evey second day The pool is amazing, also clean and not cold at all. Enjoyed our stay very much!
