Danelis Studios & Apartments

A very cozy family-run place Rooms are simple but clean, towels are changed every day. The pool is great - enough place to actually swim. Very well located - 10 min walk to the main street and 20 to the beaches But what makes this place amazing - are the hosts :) Makis and Nikos are very friendly, always ready to help (whether it's a car rental or any other issue), and honestly even if you're in a bad mood - 5-minute small talks with Makis and "no stress" from him make a day better) we truly felt welcome and cared for there. And their Greek Coffee is just the best thing to start a day Lots of love from Ukraine)

So let me tell you,this was the first time I ever visited Crete with my boyfriend,and we wanted something special for the ocasion. Danelis made that not an expectation,but a reality. The brothers made our stay feel like home and offered services of quality like a 5 star hotel. The room was very clean and roomy,with a kitchinete,a place to eat,mini fridge,a bathroom,balcony,ABSOLUTELY COMFORTABLE BED I was sleeping like a baby the entire vacation.The food for breakfast is absolutely delicious,no exception. The cooks really put their heart and soul into the food🥺,the cleaning staff is serious and punctual.The cocktail bar is very diverse and a treat❤Also one of the best pools ever!!!Wish my stay would've been longer so I can enjoy more greek hospitality. Overall? 1000/10 I would return next time I come back to Crete. Danelis staff is the most pleasant I ever came to meet there

We had such a good time at the hotel with the Danelis family! Thank you for everything :)

Everything..it's such a brilliant hotel and exactly what we love, it's a small hotel on the outskirts of Malia yet only a few minutes from the supermarkets and Taverna's (of which there are many fantastic ones). The rooms are nice, comfortable, suitably equipped and cleaned regularly. The friendliness and welcome you receive sets this hotel apart, run by a family who are really lovely, caring people, always around for a friendly chat, laugh and sort out anything you may need. The swimming pool is a nice temperature, very clean with plenty of sun beds and a great bar, they also serve lovely food made by mama! We've had a fantastic family holiday and would really recommend this place if what I've said above is what you are after.

The hospitality and helpfulness of the staff was beyond our expectations. They also have good expertise regarding car rental companies. The fact that it is run by a family makes it more personal so it feels like coming home at the end of the day. They try to make your stay as perfect as they can. Another important thing is the excellent location. It's close enough to the main street but far enough to not be bothered by the clubs and music.
