Arrived at the Pyrgos at around 6am and were greeted by one of the Tony's who made us feel welcome instantly, drinking a shot with us and watching the sun rise. The hotel is set in an excellent location, just away from the noise and nightlife at the main strip. The walk to and from the hotel to the main bar/restaurant wasn't bad at all and didn't take long. The staff were generally very warm and friendly and the bar food was mostly excellent (try the 3 seasons or 'village' pizza!)
the only issues that could have been improved were the maids - who knocked and knocked and knocked on the door (leave your key turnedin the lock for privacy!) and our room came with 2 single beds instead of a double.
altogether a fantastic and relaxing holiday and the position of the swimming pool provides a refreshing sea breeze.

Just returned from an excellent stay at the Pyrgos- The hotel is very clean and the maid service is thorough. The location is a 5 minute walk from the main strip but far enough away for quiet and relaxing time situated right on the shore. The staff were fantastic and went out the way to help and make yiour stay as enjoyable as possible The 2 Toni`s very welcoming and the lady who did the day bar. The only entertainment in eveing was the greek night which was brilliant 15 euros as much as you can eat greek food and entertainment. Pool was clean and good size. Air con 40 euros a week was worth it as temperatures reached nearly 40 and were arou nd 28at night- safe deposit was 15 euros never bothered as the doors double locked on balcony and main doors and room felt safe and secure.

Me and 2 other friends came here for 1 week and I must say we are glad to be back. The maid always interrupted us and was quite rude when we told her not to disturb us. You basically have a wake up call so if you plan on having a heavy night you don't get much of a lay in. The food at the hotel was very nice however, I got given the wrong food 3 times and what makes it worse is that I'm a vegetarian and have a nut allergy and they didn't really cater much for that. The location of Pyrgos is quite a walk from the strip and I felt really unsafe coming back as you have to walk past a cemetary and down a long, dark road. The hotel staff were quite rude to us and we felt like they didn't make us feel very welcome accept for when we bought things at the bar. I definatley wouldn't visit this hotel again and I wouldn't reccomend it.

The location was pretty good, it was only a 5 minute walk to the strip but you couldn't hear any of the music at night so you could actually sleep. Walking down the road at night wasn't a problem for us but then there were 10 of us so we didn't feel vulnerable.
We did however have a massive problem with ants in the rooms and it seems as though it wasn't just us. One room actually had an ants nest in the lamp which was so disgusting that the girls had to camp out in our rooms as they couldnt stay in there.
The staff were alright, nothing special. I think they considered us to be pushovers because of our age (18) however we will be seeking compensation due to the room problems.

We arrived at 10pm, got our keys to discover we had been allocated a double bed instead 2 singles, went and said to the guy at the bar/reception and we were told we would be moved rooms tomorrow, which we were.
The Apartments were clean, the 2 day maid service was clean, The Bar was open 24 Hours which came in handy, decent prices and food, and a great view of the beach which it like a min away.
Location is good for heading to the strip, about Ten Mins walk along a bit dodgy road and your at the bottom of it.
Only neagtive had to be that were were robbed as we slept in our rooms, I-Pods and Mobiles stolen, which were not in the safty deposit box, we thought that we must have left the door unlocked, but 5 other rooms were done so not sure. Worrying. All our cash was thankfully stored in the saftey desposit box.

Well what can i say. Absoluty perfect! When we arrived at 4am we were greeted by Toni who was very kind and helpful. Told us the bar was open, so we made sure we went down staightaway. This is a very small complex with 30 rooms or so and it is very clean and cosy. Fantastic views, clean rooms which had lovely cleaning staff and how can we forget the 2 Toni's who worked tirelessley behind the bar . I would definatley be back next year. As the complex is very small you get to know everyone and going to the local pool bar was the best way to meet everyone. The prices for food and beer are cheap and there is a pool table which is popular. The pool was clean and a good size for how big the complex is. We did the greek nite which was the last one season. The 2 Toni were excellent at making sure we were entertained by doing some kind of greek dancing which involved dancing on the bar!!!!! U must do this nite...
Thanks for an amazing holiday we will be back.

When we arrived at the hotel at 5am it looked beautiful, the area around the pool was clean, the staff that greeted us were lovely and showed us to our room. The cleaners were lovely and came every day, the apartments were always clean, the pool was always clean, staff really friendly and willing to help. There was a Greek night on the Sunday evening and it was brilliant, the hotel staff really get you envolved and the food was amazing.
I would definatly recommend the pyrgos apartments, we will be going back next year for 2 weeks.

the hotel is perfect for any holiday in malia, whether it is a nice relaxing trip for couples or a lads/girls trip away. for couples its absolutely brilliant, as i found out with my girlfriend. its about a 5-10 minute walk to the shops/bars and is well out of the way from all the noise. yet is isnt too far away to walk.
the beach is literally a minute away, but the pool is really good, with a quality view of the sea. although the the rooms are basic the rest of the hotel is very nice. the owners and cleaners are very nice and will help you out at any time. highly recommended to any traveller, will be going back soon.

Ok, so it was in a good location, really close to the strip but far enough so that you could not hear all the racket. The staff were ok, not much help when we had problems with our room. Cleaners were lovely. Thats the good bit. We were given clean towels once, and when we complained we were simply told they "had no more towels" and that we "only get them twice a week". The shower was absolutly appauling, there were 4 of us in our room. After the first person had a shower, the whole bathroom was like a lake. The bath mat did absolutly nothing. I would not recommend people to stay there. The room next to us was broken into and had all there valubles stolen. Even a MP3 player was stolen from around someones neck when they were sleeping. When told about this the staff simply said, be careful.
