“Amazing Hotel!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 December 2011
4
people found this review helpful

Our group of 8 girls, all aged around 18, stayed here for 2 weeks in August 2011, looking for a lively party holiday, and we had the best 2 weeks ever!
The hotel is great, family run, really friendly and always there at reception to help with anything. Its very close to the strip, only about a 5 minute walk down a short street which takes you straight onto the strip so the perfect distance! From the beach it was about a 10-15 minute walk so not bad!
The rooms were pretty basic, but we weren't expecting luxury for the amount we payed, so we were all more than happy :) The balcony was pretty spacious and the rooms were clean, tidy and fresh when we arrived! Bathroom and kitchen area were clean enough also! Never spotted any bugs at all, so all the reviews saying it was cockroach infested, talk crap!
The maid came in mostly every day, with clean bath towels and cleaned up a bit, though she would sometimes clean around when we slept but we didnt mind!
DEFINITELY RECOMMEND AIR-CON! split between how ever many is in a room, its so cheap and works great! sometimes we'd even have to turn it off it got so cold haha! But sooo worth it, you'll regret it if you dont!
The pool area is great, tunes are blasting all day and you can order any food at all really at the pool bar. Also watch out for George, best the barman ever. Makes you cocktails in a blender: amazing! The pool was always really clean aswell as the area around it. There was pool tables and 24 hour internet access. Everyone was ages 18-30 at the hotel so down at the pool it was always lively.
Overall, such a great hotel for the money. Couldnt really fault it! Had the best 2 weeks ever at Frixos in Malia and cant wait to go back!!

“Great Location!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 October 2011

people found this review helpful

Stayed at the Frixos Hotel in June 2011 for 7 nights. At first I wasnt to sure about this accommodation as we were transferred from another hotel due to the company we travelled with lost the contract, but it turned out to be a great choice! It has a great location just off the main malia strip which is perfect for quiet days around the pool and hectic nights in Malia town!
Yes the accommodation is basic, but most people staying here, are after the nightlife not 5* accommodation.
Staff were great and couldnt do enough for you. Good choice of food from pool bar and cheap.

We stayed on bed & breakfast, which was typical greek breakfast....dont be expecting any fry-ups unless your going to pay at the pool bar, we were in the main hotel which was fine, rooms good size. We managed to see a self catering apartment which were huge so much better if there is a large group going but i believe all of the self catering apartments are in the annex block, but its not exactly a far walk.... All in all a great week in Malia, wouldnt hesitate to use this as a base if we were to go again!!!

“DO NOT GO HERE”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 October 2011

There was a rat in our room and cockroaches everywhere! The maids stole my mates shoes and he had no shoes for the whole week! The shower didnt work so we couldnt have a decent wash for a week.

“Amazing Holiday!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Overall, our holiday was amazing this year to Malia! We stayed at the Hotel Frixos, they offer hotels and appartments which we were in the appartments which I highly recommed as it is in a great location as it is right on the strip just tucked down a little road but that can be quite scary to walk back down especially if you were alone, but there are secuirty people who stand in the street in lumious jackets which make it feel safer. The rooms are basic but that's fine as they only get messy. The local supermarket is very close which is good as carry heavy bottles of water and food in the heat isn't too fun, and there is a smaller shop just at the top of the hotel which is handy for little odd bits. The drinks at the hotel bar aren't too nice we only drank them there once on our first night as we felt rude not too, we were given a pina colada with orange juice (yuck) didn't really try the food only had chips once, ate out mostly as the restruants were so near and the staff throughout the whole strip from lunch to clubs were so friendly. The pool area has a great atmosphere with party music constantly playing and the bar staff are happy to play recomendations & turn the volume up!! Overall I would give the hotel a 8.5/10 the atmosphere throughout the whole holiday (hotel & strip) a 10! The strip a 8.5/10. The people you're with a the people you meet are what make your holiday!!

Room Tip: There were 3 floors, we were on the top floor but lucky we made friends who were on the bottom floor...
