I'd read prior reviews about grumpy owner and what with it being end of season, they could certainly use a break themselves but thought with ultimate politeness and a smile, we might have been warmly received, i was wrong on that point. The buildings that have been updated and refurbed looked lovely but unfortunately we were in the old part which while clean, was very basic. We didn't have hot water the first few days, it went from warm to tepid to get out in a minute! After other guests left tho, there was a nice shower to be had. We dined there the first night as it had been a long day and the outside area is gorgeous, its so beautiful to sit by the pool and eat, the gyros we had were lovely and we were very grateful for it, again though, i was made to feel like a pain in the bum for asking to place an order. The common areas of the property are lovely, beautiful gardens with lemons and limes growing from the trees, lovely sun loungers and a gorgeous pool. We went to get away and relax and it’s perfect for that. Its a 2 min walk to the beach which is lovely with lots of activities to be had, it's a 1 minute walk to the shops and restaurants of which many were closed with it being end of season. We did enjoy the great hospitality and food of The Bull restaurant and The Red Lion. A nice base to stay while exploring Malia but i do feel that we weren't particularly welcome or the management need a nice holiday to unwind after what must have been a very busy season.

Hospitality was poor by the owners, no greeting on arrival. The room was ok, house keeping was poor three days no clean or fresh towels. Ended up buying toiletries from supermarket and new towels. Breakfast was terrible, went out each day. The menu was limited allot of food was not available to order as they had no ingredients. The location of stay is perfect can walk to all amenities. Overall 4/10.

Ideal Value Option
Stopped in Malia for one night to get a taste of the action - turns out Malia is a ghost town in October but enough places still open for a quiet night out. Hotel apartment was perfectly adequate for a night, and very cheap. Staff were very smiley and helpful. Bar is cheap and the pool area very nice. Room a bit shabby but fine if you’re not spending much time in there, we took the most basic option and ultimately you get what you pay for. Fridge-freezer worked fine. Shower was decent but the dispenser for shower gel/shampoo was empty so had to use a bar of hand soap (provided, along with ample towels - I’m sure they’d have refilled it but once you’re in there it’s a bit late!). We didn’t make use of the plug-in hob or the breakfast but literally hundreds of local food options. Location is spot on, a quiet road which is 100m to Malia beach in one direction and 100m to the main strip in the other. I don’t expect to go back to Malia but for the hard-partying sun-worshippers Malia caters for you couldn’t do much better for value than Stelios.

Not great, but quite decent hotel
A little of a Las Vegas style in the rooms, which is not a surprise when you consider this is Malia. Hotel looks great on the outside - the garden, the pool, the reception... The quality of the rooms is not so good, but not bad either. Bed is comfortable, linen and towels are shining clean, unfortunately not the same can be said about the floor. A little more attitude towards hygiene would be appreciated. The worst thing is the shower cabin: 1/4 circle with 75 cm radius. You can hardly move in there, what to say - have a decent shower. But my overall impression is good. Especially having in mind that the beach is no more than 200 m away, and it's a nice sand beach. The reason for which I will most likely not stay there again, is not the hotel, but Malia itself. But for those who like party resorts, it could be a good value.

Wonderful hotel
My wife and I had to come to Crete as my daughter had been hospitalised at the start of her holiday. We booked in to Stelios Gardens to be near her when she came out of hospital. The staff of the hotel were wonderful and very accommodating and I could not thank them enough. The pool area was very clean and quiet with a laid-back vibe. At the edge the restaurant area although small was also very nice and very relaxed especially in the evening with the pool lit up next to the tables.The food was always very good and the menu extensive and reasonably priced. If we came to Malia again we would without a doubt stay at Stella’s Gardens. Again thank you to all the staff there for making our stay easy and allowing our daughter to stay on until she could fly.

This is by far the nicest place I have ever stayed at in Greece! Perfect location, 3 min walk to the beach and in the other direction 3 min walk to the town. We stayed in the superior studio which also included a small kitchen with sink and stove top. The rooms were spotless and had newly renovated bathrooms. The owner had great suggestions for a car rental and was always around to help. There is even a night guard so the property is very safe. The pool and gardens are so beautiful. It is obvious that the owner takes pride in his this property. Perfect stay!

A little gem in the heart of Maila
We couldn't be happier with our choice. Everything was simply perfect. Location was in the heart of Malia, close to most restaurants and shops. Our luxury 2-bedroom apartment had an amazing interior, it was also spacious and very clean. Pool area was great as well. We would love to return there some day.

Disappointing and dirty
Room was dirty and bathroom had mould in the sink along with lots of hair in th shower upon arrival. It smelt as though the room was continually mopped with dirty water. Staff were rude and we decided to leave after 1 night rather than stay for the 5 we had booked. We chose the most expensive room thinking it would be better but this wasn’t the case at all.

Fantastic hotel, perfect location.
This was my first stay at Stelios Gardens and I was amazed at how beautiful it was. I am a solo traveller and felt incredibly safe and cared for so I would highly recommend to other solo's. A 3 minute walk to the beach and a 3 minute walk to the busy strip, however it's tucked away and is very quiet. The gardens and pool areas are spectacularly beautiful. The rooms and facilities are spotless with a stunning walk in shower, small kitchen facilities with a fridge, balcony at the front and back,they are cleaned every day by Danya and Eva, who are so friendly as are all the staff, Demetris works in the bar area and she is a gem. Fresh food is served all day and specials by mama are divine! Next to the pool area are beautiful toilets with a great shower so you can freshen up after swimming. Yannis and Maria are fantastic hosts, making sure you are happy at Stelios and I was, it's just like a haven, a peaceful retreat away from the hustle of Malia. I've been to Malia many times but this is by far my best stay! I'm already looking forward to my next holiday. Thank you everyone and Stelios for trying to teach me Greek! A perfect base to explore the quaint old town and surrounding areas.

I Loved the location of Stelios Gardens close to beach and town all short walk.The property is well groomed and nicely decorated and the rooms are CLEAN and comfortable. The pool was Fantastic! With Lotz of comfortable cushions on the loungers plus shaded 'bed` loungers. It's far away enough to get a good night sleep even though `The strip' for all the action is near by
