8/10 Very good

Location was perfect for our needs as we were looking for something cute and calm but not too far from the beaches, restaurants and markets. Would definitely stay here again

Although we had a technical issue with the TV on arrival, the staff reacted in a speedy and thorough manner to resolve the problem. In general a warm, welcoming & helpful hotel - the restaurant staff in the morning exceptional.

Short break hotel Malia
The hotel is located in the tourisic place of Malia. In general the site is ok, breakfast average. No permanently staffed front desk. Ok for the money and a brief stop

Ho soggiornato al socrates hotel una settimana e devo dire che l'esperienza è stata deludente. La seconda stella la dò solo per la cordialità del personale, solare e gentile (non alle inservienti perché non facevano il loro lavoro e sembravano palesemente scocciate dal lavoro che facevano). Abbiaml fatto il check-in che la stanza era sporca (non aspiravano e tiravano lo straccio, ho dovuto usare io uno degli asciugamani messi a disposizione per spostare lo sporco e nonostante questo, il giorno successivo, vedendo palesemente lo sporco attorno e sull'asciugamano lasciavano comunque la stanza lercia) e abbiamo fatto il check out con la stanza lercia. Fortunatamente le lenzuola e gli asciugamani te li cambiavano ogni giorno. Il bagno era invaso dalle formiche, abbiamo dovuto spostare la tazza degli spazzolini (anche qui, abbiamo dovuto usare una delle tazze da thè per mettere gli spazzolini) sul comò fuori perchè sennò trovavamo invasi pure quelli. Mi dispiace ma la pulizia è la cosa più importante in un hotel, due stelle solo per la gentilezza del personale, soprattutto il guardiano notturno ed Espina (non ricordo il nome, ma la signora che serve alle colazioni).

Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal, schöne und saubere Unterkunft (wie auf den Fotos), zentrale Lage, grosser Parkplatz (kostenfrei), gutes WIFI, schöne Poolanlage, im einigen Gehminuten am Strand, leckeres und grosszügiges Frühstücksbuffet….wie waren sehr zufrieden. Betten waren für mein Empfinden etwas hart.

Plus: Sehr nettes und bemühtes Personal, Riesen Pool , große Zimmer ( hatten Familienappartement), Küche Negativ: altes Mobiliar, veraltetere Duschen mit klappfalttüren in denen man sich fast nicht umdrehen kann, hellhörig. Frühstück jeden Tag gleich Insgesamt ok, wenn man es günstig bekommt, .für uns Last Minute gebucht ,im Griechenland zu teuer . Die tollen Bewertungen sind gerechtfertigt, wenn man das Hotel zu sehr günstigen Konditionen buchen kann.

Highly recommended
I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking to stay somewhere close enough to amenities but away from excessive noise. Clean, well maintained and with helpful and pleasant staff. Breakfast was fresh and plentiful, airport transfer a bonus. Pool clean and well maintained, pleanty of sun beds. Grounds well looked after and pretty. Rooms clean and well equiped - only downfall was the shower which is fairly small. Stalis and Malia centre/old town all within easy walking distance. Nearest bars/restaurants/beach within ten minutes walk of hotel.
