Situated within 400 metres of Malia Strip, 24 Seven Boutique Hotel in the centre of Malia provides a bar, as well as free WiFi. Featuring a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with a restaurant.

Malia Beach is a 15-minute walk away and Malia Marina is 1 km away. The nearest airport is Heraklion International Airport, 26 km from the hotel. Heraklion City is 30 km away.

Another hidden gem unlocked, this time on Crete. Still looking like new, good location and with its "own" restaurant just across de the street. Cute employees, delivering perfect service, from checking in to serving breakfast (which, btw, was another big surprise regarding how good it was and the way it was offered) or giving direction/information about what to do in the area. Also, I can understand a little bit of Greek, especially the "bad words", so the banter that went between them didn't go unnoticed and it was funny, especially at breakfast time. The beach is less than 15min of walking away and the old city less than 5 minutes. The "strip" with all the bars/clubs can be reached in less than 10min, same with the supermarkets. If you don't feel like walking to the beach, you can park yourself at the hotel's pool and relax. The bathrooms are clean, the shower large enough, nothing is cramped. The rooms also have a small "kitchen" area, with everything one needs. Also, pretty good AC. The restaurant is nicely decorated, on two levels and it has plenty of tables. The menu is about the same, everywhere on the island. Ate 2-3 times there, solid cooking. Parking spaces right next to the hotel (private parking, for customers).

    The hotel owner and his family were very lovely and welcoming. I felt very safe while staying there. I travelled to escape the business of the city life, and this hotel was the perfect location. The peacefulness of the beach view combined with the lovniess of the owner makes this the perfect place for any solo traveller.

    We have had a fantastic stay in Kernos Beach. We had the chance to get an upgrade in a bungalow at the seafront and it was wonderful. Of course it was still very calme this time of the year. Very friendly staff. Good breakfast and diner with variation of food. Nice private beach shared with 1 other hotel. Staff do everything to give you a comfortable stay! I even got a birthday cake, very kind. Thank you. Barbara and Leslie from Belgium, last week in room 507 😊

    Good location. Not a big hotel but nice and very close to the own beach. Umbrellas at beach for free, bar is just steps from beach. If you want to discover Crete and live close to seaside at same time, it is very good option. Not far from Heraklion airport is good as well.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at your hotel in Malia, and I must say it was an great experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel warmly welcomed throughout our stay. The location was perfect, just a short 2-minute walk from the beach, allowing for convenient access to the beautiful oceann. The overall atmosphere was delightful, and the facilities were well-maintained. I highly commend the Kastro Beach Hotel for providing such a wonderful and memorable stay. Thank you for the outstanding hospitality.

    We loved our stay in Enorme Ammos Beach resort in Malia. Beautiful beachfront location. Amazing staff. We liked the access to the shared mini pool from our room. We loved the extensive breakfast buffet and the themed daily dinner buffet. All the foods were crafted and cooked to perfection! We liked our free morning yoga experience being offered daily.

    We enjoyed the lovely swimming pool very much. The hotel shares the breakfast lounge with the other Parthenis property at sea, so it is kind of mixed feelings: nice to have breakfast at seaside but have to walk 700 m to have breakfast and back every morning. On the other side, the access to the private beach compensates the effort.
