“Mike Aparthotel too sedate and too far from Chania”

My husband and I were supposed to stay at this hotel for several days in September , but we had to leave because it was not where we were made to believe it was.
Even Tripadvisor has it in Chania, but it is not in Chania. It is quite a ways out of Chania... and that is the problem.
If you want to see and experience Chania, this is not where you want to stay. This is too far out for you to stay and then travel to Chania to see the sights.
This place is where you go to get away from EVERYTHING. I mean everything! There are several restaurants near the hotel so you can just walk to have dinner.
They do not serve breakfast at this hotel but there is a perfectlly good one in the hotel right next door. Lunch would have to be in the myriad places in town... but don't ever think that you are in Chania.
This place could be any beach in the world but it is very remote and very, very sedate.
There are a lot of Scandinavians who come to these parts, I guess, because there are some bars and clubs even in Chania who cater to them specifically.
Chania is a totally different scene altogether!
Mike Aparthotel would be fine I guess for families who want a getaway. But if you're American, Hawaii is safer,closer and better as a destination, altogether!
There are places on the beachfront and in town where they cater to families with children because they have playgrounds and play areas right in the restaurants. There is a mini train that goes around town too. But as I say, this is just a beach town. Not Chania.
If you want to see and experience Chania, you have to stay in oldtown Chania, not in Maleme.
The condominium type rooms were roomy and comfortable, and the manager was charming and extremely helpful, but this was not what we came here for.
If you want to stay in Chania, we recommend Porto Veneziano Hotel. It is a Best Western hotel, so it is very comfortable, updated, and it is right in oldtown Chania, with a great view of the Venetian Harbor and the lighthouse. The price and the value is great!

Mike Hotel was good value for money and first appearances, namely the restaurant were very promising. We were however disappointed with the rooms which look about 1980 style, albeit we got a sea view, which was great and high floor which we requested. However lots of things were broken or missing for example there wasn’t a hairdryer in our room and the hand towel rail kept falling off the wall – only to be told by my mum that in there room it was a cup holder!

Another thing to bear in mind is that there are no lifts in the building and on arrival my husband had to carry 4 samsonite suitcases up two floors.... so be warned!

Some friends we made whilst we were there were staying on the front rooms of Mike Hotel and the noise from the main road was awful… she complained to the rep who said he knew and his wife wore ear plugs…. Which wasn’t what you want to hear… so be prepared to take earplugs just I case!

There was plenty of drawer storage but there was only two drawers with handles – which made storage limited and then the bottom fell out of one!. The bed in our room was awful and squeaked at the mere turning over of either me of the husband and we aren’t even heavyweights! Therefore I never slept for the full two weeks I was there. The patio doors didn’t lock at all as they were both broken – therefore compromising safety and security…. But then again its okay in Greece…. Not like the UK!

The staff were nice and friendly and you were treated like royalty if you ate there on a regular basis, although were frowned upon if you went out for meals! The area ‘Melame’ itself is rather small and boasts about half a dozen tavernas and we managed to find two that we frequented on a regular basis as the portions were great, food was great and price even better. These were Taverna Melame and Bella Pais (off the main road).

Food at Mike Hotel was pricey and smaller portions, wine was 7 euros for a bottle whereas down the road you could get a Litre for 7 euros….. I know what I prefer!

Breakfast very basic comprising of a few different breads, two cheap cereals, cake, cheese and spam slices, few jams, cheap squash and tea/coffee. You could pay extra for the likes of full English (3 euros) or scrambled egg (do your own toast) for 2.50 euros!

The pool was excellent although a little upset that my 4 year old daughter cut her hand quite bad on the steps and then a few hours later my 12 year old son did the same thing…. But around the pool it turns out it had happened to a few children during our stay!

Mike apartments looked nice and modern and would be more tempted to stay there in future.

There were plenty of sunbeds around the pool area and you didn’t struggle to find a spot whatever time of day you go! There is a bloke across at the melame imperial hotel that has a really awful voice that goes on and on all day but you can’t do anything about that!

All in all we had a great time….. made better by the gorgeous weather and the company we were in!

mike hotel/appartments are typically greek.the hotel is pleasant but in bad need of renovation.the downstairs restaurant area has been done but the bedrooms leave alot to be desired!My son-in - law and I both work in building and spent the first three days fixing broken door handles,showers and anything else we could fix!The staff however are very nice.The food was average and overpriced compared to portion size.we would recommend you eat at the local tavernas where the food is excellent and you get much more for your money!breakfast was very boring(unless you paid extra).The pool area and appartments(much newer) are very nice.However the pool is dangerous as both of my grandchildren(and some others) cut their fingers on the steps(my 4 yr.old grandaughters was quite bad)We did report it to some staff around the pool but I doubt anything was done! If you are unfortunate enough to get a front room at the hotel,take earplugs as you will need them.Dont expect too much from the hotel(first looks are deceiving)but enjoy the pool and hire a car and youll have a good holiday!we wont be going back,but make your own mind up!cheers.
