Such a lovely hotel even though it’s right around the corner from the nightlife so relaxing and quiet. Rooms were lovely, food was great and a good price. Only thing i would say is be carful walking down to the strip from the hotel as lots of quads and bikes drive up and down the road and there isn’t a pathway so just be mindful. would definitely recommend this hotel

I had a lovely solo stay at Maria Rousse! It was clean and quiet at the hotel with only a few minutes walk to the Malia strip which leads to Malia beach! All the hotel staff were very pleasant and friendly! It was never any issue getting a sun lounger by the pool! The food at the bar was very tasty especially the Cretan breakfast which I ate most mornings! I also highly recommended the bars cocktails!

The swimming pools and the gardens are very relaxing with adorable stone walled balconies. There is air conditioning available, which was a separate charge. The staff are nice and friendly enough. Close tonlical shops and the mini kitchenette was a most welcomed feature. All in all we had an excellent stay at the hotel and given the opportunity, I would definitely stay here again.

We were delighted with our stay at this lovely family run establishment, it was so clean, friendly and central we couldnt have asked for more! I requested a room with a nice outlook and we got a pool view which was truly appreciated! Sadly my friend had a bad accident in the sea on day two so our holiday wasnt how we wouldve wished for! But everyone was so kind to her! We will be back and will definitely stay here again !

Really excellent value. Much better in person. Staff couldn't do more, genuinely friendly and went above and beyond. Clean room and area around pool. Perfect location to be walking distance to everything. Would visit again without hesitation. Only thing to be aware of is an extra charge for Aircon in your room which I noted is quite expensive in my opinion.

Sans hésitation, foncez ! Le prix est parfait, l’emplacement en ville est idéal. L’un des veilleurs de nuit est tellement gentil et bienveillant ! Il ne manque rien à cet endroit, c’est la vie de rêve. Sans parler de la ville de Malia vous êtes tombés sur la pépite de la Crète, vous avez tout à portée de main. Si vous voulez faire la fête, c’est l'endroit idéal, n’hésitez pas à passer au « Rnb plus » si vous êtes français. Et Maria Rousse est vraiment l’endroit parfait pour se reposer de tout ce bonheur !
