The staff kept the rooms clean and their breakfast every morning was outstanding. The staff were smiling always and the architecture of the room (secreto) was worth every penny.

I had an excellent stay at Hotel Malmo in Chania. The staff provided truly outstanding service — warm, attentive, and always ready to help with a smile. The hotel itself is comfortable and well-kept, but it’s the exceptional team that made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommended!
