Pros +
- The rooms are exceptional and very clean with everything you need for your stay, the cleaner comes round every other day, the food here is of a very high standard and absolutely gorgeous (had breakfast everyday and at least 3 evening meals), nikos and his wife are great hosts and will do anything to make your stay as comfortable as possible
- The balcony and the view looking out to the mountains was great, I wasnt expecting it, it was super. The room was small but quality. It was located in the old town, nice and quiet, out of the way from the noisy area. The owners and the staff are great too, spot on.
- A VERY clean place (regular cleaning and changing our sheets - every other day), friendly owners, nice view from the balcony, peaceful environment, close to the town centre, good moussaka (!).
Cons -
- Leaving
- The bathroom could have been better. The water didnt drain away properly from the bathroom floor so I got my socks wet couple of times. It was just a little quirk that i got used to in the end. Overall, I'd recommend.
- No hair dryer (as advertised on this website), no soap, not enough toilet paper. Prior to our stay there, we sent a direct message about the safe for keeping our valuables and got the reply that it was already included in the price, but in spite of that, it turned out that we had to pay for that. We were charged a bit more than advertised for some of the items from the bar menu a few times.

I stayed at Litsa Studios for 10 days (21 June - 01 July 2022). Litsa Studios are located on the outskirts of the ancient city of Malia, about 15 minutes walk from the strip. Nikos and Soula, the owners, were very friendly. The room with a double bed and private bathroom was spacious and clean. It comes with free Wi-Fi and a balcony with a beautiful view of the surrounding hills. Although the kitchenette is an integral part of this studio, I enjoyed delicious Greek dishes for evening meals and Cretan salad for breakfast in the dining room on the large terrace with a snack bar. There is no swimming pool, but this is not a problem in the old village of Malia, because you can use the swimming pool in the nearby hotels if you buy a drink in the bar. I personally used the large pool at the Real Palace Hotel, which is owned by Nikos' son, about 700 meters away from Litsa Studios, where I was always warmly welcomed. I recommend this accommodation because of the low price, great food, and wonderful hosts.
The studio is located on the top floor, so during the summer heat, it can be too hot when you return to the room in the evening. Luckily, I stayed in June, when the temperatures are bearable.
Quietly located, well maintained clean studios with comfortable beds and very kind helpful owners (couple).
The hosts were so friendly and welcoming, they made you feel at home immediately. The rooms were clean, comfortable and well looked after. The food was absolutely delicious. In general, I would recommend Litsa to anyone as one of the best value to money hotels, I have ever experienced.
Price for a single room is amazing. I had double bed, balcony, bathroom, kitchenette. Owners were nice and helpful.
Far from the beach. Lot of noise.
The couple that runs the place are very nice and caring! Super great deal, great price for what you get! Private bathroom, small kitchen, comfortable bed, clean and a nice balcony with pleasent views. We are wanting to go back!
The only bad thing about the room, was a drain in the middle of the bathroom that made the floor wet. The rest was perfect!
In early October it was the best value for money.We paid 25 euros for 2 nights. It was very clean.....the room and the other facilities. Very nice and kind people run this Hotel. The room had anything that you will need. Nice view from the balcony. We stayed at room 7 and 8.
maybe a Tv would be nececery for someone. I dont watch TV so it was no problem for me. WiFi sometimes didnt work properly but ok.....maybe there were many people connected at the same time.
The hosts are amazing and superfriendly and familiar. Beds are comfy and the views from the balcony are also excellent, to the mountains, very beautiful and quiet. The size of the room is quite good and location is also good , just few minutes walking from the centre and 20 mins walk to the beach. We had a problem with the shower the first day and Nikolas solved it very quick. We would definetely recommend this place! Thanks for everything :)
Maybe put some blinds on the windows
Excellent stay from start to finish, location is brilliant just on the edge of the old town in a nice quiet area, nicos and his wife are exceptional hosts from start to finished, the rooms are kept very clean and tidy covid safety is followed very well, the food from the kitchen is delicious

The owners Nicholas and his wife have managed to make the most out of their accommodation facility. They are both very friendly and at the same time professional in their hospitality business. The first positive thing: the property is located away from the noisy streets in the center. During my stay, the common premises of the facility were kept impeccably clean as well as my room that was serviced (and even the towel changed) every 2nd day, with anti-Covid measurements applied overall in the property. You can enjoy abundant breakfast and simple yet delicious homemade food at the in-house snack bar. The owners were sincerely interested about my comfort and willing to help with any issue I had. A bonus: there is a nice terrace on the top floor to watch the sunset.
There were some troubles with the Internet connection on my floor for 3 or 4 days but Nicholas was always ready to resolve them. Fortunately, most of the time the wi-fi was working fine.
The place has all the needed facilities: bed, private bathroom, a small kitchen and a small balcony exposed not to the sun (so perfect to use it both for breakfast, lunch and dinner)
I book a double bed but I found two single bed (actually they've said it to me weeks before the reservation and so it might be a booking issue, since it might not have been possible to do that). Furthermore, the staff don't speak english really well.
Friedly staf, good food, cleaning every day
Weak WiFI and short beds
Its decent place.
Owners act bit weirdly when it comes to the privacy. Card payments dont work. They ask me to wear mask when themselves didnt. Lots of communication problems with them generally.
The property is located right next to the old part of the Malia, which is one the most beautiful places, very cute, rustic, filled with small tavernas and restaurants.Unlike the rest parts of the town, LITSA is also placed in a quiet part of Malia, which for me was a huge plus! It has also has a big rooftop terrace with the nicest sunsets :)
Good
Terrible uncomfortable bed and pillow, my back hurted very much after sleeping there
The rooms are basic but very comfortable and clean, air conditioning was included with the price which is unusual for malia
The hotel itself is very mostest but comfy and cosy with wonderful gyros! As I wished for a pool the owners were kind enough to tell us about their childrens hotel round the corner and we used the pool facilities for free. Its just a short walk to the town centre! I would defiantly stay again.
No pool but thats it!
