Melissa Apartments, Studios & Suites

The staff there are the nicest people you will meet we didn’t have a bad experience in that hotel, the security guard would come over and ask about our evening out, we stayed in the the building on the other side of the road what was AMAZING mr and my friends had the bottom floor and one took upstairs. It was always clean and tidy

Wow! What a gem in the heart of Malia Old Town. We picked this place because of location and the good reviews it had. On arrival the entrance looked super cute, clean and welcoming. We visited as a family of 4, mum and dad, the oldies 😀 and our 2 sons aged 20 and 22. Location was perfect, in the beautifully rustic and authentic old town and like a 3 minute walk to the top of 'the strip'. We were met by the friendliest lady, Christina (forgive me if that's not the spelling!) Who gave us the warmest of welcomes, she took our details etc and then we were passed onto another lady (sorry I didn't catch your name, I just know that you are Ilyas's sister) she explained everything and gave us our keys. We had a double room 204 and a twin room 205 The rooms were lovely and spotlessly clean. They are self catering apartments, although we were B&B, and there is everything you could need to cook meals if you chose to. We were not there to cook so can't comment on the equipment. Hairdryer and kettle provided which we did use along with a big airer on the balcony. There was bkack out curtains so there was very little light in the room in the morning and much needed for a good sleep. The rooms were cleaned daily and given fresh towels. This is a family run hotel and we were welcomed by every member of the family, always being asked of our plans, about our evenings and given good advice on the local area, tavernas and places to go. Being B&B board basis we could have breakfast (or another snack) prepared for us up until 3pm in the afternoon which was perfect as our boys had late nights at the strip most nights and therefore didn't wake up very early! I have never known anywhere to be so accommodating with such lovely service. The drinks and snacks/meals very reasonably priced at the bar and all food was cooked fresh as you ordered it. We were always treated with respect, more like a part of their family, it was very interesting chatting to the staff and hearing all about their lives, thank you all so much for being so hospitable! I really cannot recommend this hotel enough and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if we return to Malia. Some points on the old town, we ate some wonderful restaurants in the old town which were recommended by the staff at hotel and none of them disappointed, San Georgio Restaurant, Odas Taverna, Petrino Gardens, Nostimo and Elizabeth & Stablos Restaurant which was my absolute favourite 😍 I wouldn't recommend Malia beach as you were packed in like sardines but would highly recommend getting the bus to Stalida (Stalis) beach which was much nicer and you had much more room. Thank you to everyone at Melissa Apartments for making our stay so great in Malia, hope to see you again, with much love John, Charlotte & Boys xx

Stayed here for one night in Malia after booking the worst hotel I have ever seen. Walking into this hotel put a bright smile on my face and uplifted my vibe. The rooms are beautiful and clean and the staff are amazing, friendly and welcoming. Best experience I had on this holiday and would recommend to anyone!!!

All brand new facilities and rooms

Nothing it was perfect

Really friendly staff and a great location in the Old town, but only 2 minutes walk from the strip. Lovely apartments and facilities.

Really nice rooms that were clean, comfortable and modern as well as comfy beds. Really relaxing pool area with plenty of sun beds and a reasonably priced bar with lots of great options. Majority of staff super friendly and helpful. Located just off the strip in the old town is a nice break from the bustling areas.

A few issues with staff members being annoyed at noise levels from our group after 9pm, but felt this was a strange and unnecessarily aggressive stance to take considering a group booking of 12 was allowed and due to the fact the property is located in the heart of Malia, a renowned party town. Also one instance of members of our group being refused entry back to the property in the evening by security refusing to believe they actually stayed there, also odd.

The hosts were lovely, everything was in order and we had a nice stay.

The airconditioning wasn’t really cold, so we were very hot at night.

The location was great; close to bus stop, beach. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Very friendly owner and a spacious, clean and comfortable apartment. Great value for the price, highly recommend!
