Danelis Studios & Apartments

Great family hotel run by two amazing brothers Nicos and Marcos. These guys really make you welcome and my wife and i could not have been happier with our 14 night stay. Nothing was no much trouble for these guys if you needed anything they would get it, car hire, they arrranged a great deal for us. needed to know where to visit no issues they knew everywhere. Their favourite catchphrase was NO STRESS and they certainly made sure our stay was stress free. The Hotel was lovely the rooms had everything needed and the beds and pillows were surprisingly comfortable. The air con was well needed and worked perfectly and they done us a good price for the 2 weeks. All the staff at the hotel were so friendly and the lovely lady who cleaned our rooms was excellent and our rooms were super clean and well maintained. The food was pretty good as well, the breakfast was as good as you could get outside of the UK. The pool was amazing and Nicos and Marcos are understandably very pround of it and are always making sure it's in tip top condition, good job guys. The hotel is situated nicely out of the hustle and bustle of Malia town but only a ten minute walk away which was a lovely stroll every night. There are so many nice restaurats and bars and taverna's in and around Malia and we had a fantastic holiday and will definatelly be going back.

We are just back from a 2 week stay here and I can honestly say we have never had a holiday like it before. From the minute we checked in at 12.30am, we were treated like old friends by Makis and Nikos. The hotel itself is lovely, rooms are kept spotless by the lovely Maria, there are always sunbeds available at the pool and the food is delicious. If you book here be prepared to fall in love with the cocktails. Nikos is a master at making them, a craft that he takes seriously! It’s about a 5 minute walk from the main ***** but far enough away not to be bothered by the noise. We went as a family of 4, our daughters are 13 and 20 years old and they said it’s the best holiday they have had. Needless to say we have booked already for next year with our oldest daughter and her partner aswell. A special mention to mamma who absolutely won my heart ❤️. See you next year guys!

Absolutely brilliant hotel from start to finish they was welcoming and friendly couldn't do enough.The food was amazing my other half was obsessed with the carbonara to be fair tho I tasted and was really good.room was everything we needed basic but clean and had all you need for self catering would highly recommend if going to Malia brilliant job danelis you did really good and made are holiday thank you.

My daughter and I have just returned from our stay at Danelis. This is a fantastic small family run hotel and I can't praise it enough. Everyone is so friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The rooms are spotlessly clean and the communal areas are well kept. The owners have a smile and chat for everyone from the day you arrive to the day you leave. I would highly recommend this hotel and will definitely book to stay here again if we return to Crete.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel in Malia. The rooms were clean and comfortable, making it easy to relax. The owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming, adding a personal touch to the experience. The location is peaceful and quiet—perfect for unwinding—but still just a short, easy walk to both the beach and the charming old town, packed with fantastic restaurants. Plenty of sunbeds by the pool too. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing and convenient getaway!

Been here 7 days ,beautiful peaceful hotel ,This is family run (wow) the minute you arrive you are made so welcome .We have had a few cloudy days but the brothers keep you upbeat with their smiles .Rooms are basic but very clean and comfortable. Food is freshly made and fabulous 👌
