    We stayed at a central hostel that provided everything we needed. The place was clean and they even kept our bags before check-in time. The hostel had a youth-like atmosphere with a flavor of an old big house, complete with giant walls and high ceilings. We had access to a terrace where we could enjoy the evenings. The kitchen and fridge were fully functional, and there was a supermarket nearby for those looking to save money. The hostel also had great access to public transportation, with a bus station and taxi stop nearby. it was a pleasant experience and we felt like part of the family thanks to the friendly host Rena.

    No negatives from this place.

    The location of the hostel was perfect, just a 15-minute walk from the main bus station and airport bus stop. It was also very close to the touristic area and pedestrian street, as well as the ferry port. The city of Heraklion itself was lovely, vibrant, and full of life. The mattress and pillow provided in the room were incredibly comfortable, even better than what you would find in a 5-star hotel. The room also had a nice balcony, and the dining area was open and inviting. The spacious rooms, corridor, and kitchenette made me feel at home, and I enjoyed making and having breakfast there. The hostel also had ample showers and restrooms, as well as private lockers to keep valuables and a table mirror for makeup. I had a great experience and genuinely enjoyed my stay. Special thanks to the hosts for their excellent service, accommodating my late arrival and allowing me to leave my bags for a few hours after checkout. Couldn't have asked for more!

    Felt like home, no complaints at all.

    I had an absolutely amazing stay at this hostel in Heraklion. The owner, Rena, made me feel like part of her family. She always went above and beyond to ensure I had a bed available, even when they were fully booked on other platforms. The rooms were spacious, clean, and had a fridge and air conditioning. The location was perfect, just a short walk from Lion Square and close to the port. The rooftop area was a unique feature, where I could relax and sleep under the stars. There was also a cute corner for preparing meals. I highly recommend this hostel for its warm atmosphere and excellent amenities.

    While the beds were simple, they were still comfortable enough for a good night's sleep. There was only one socket in the room, but an extension cord was available.

    The location of the hostel was perfect, just a stone's throw away from the sea. The lady at the reception, who I assume is the owner, was incredibly friendly and offered some valuable life advice in these crazy times we live in. The bed was comfortable enough for a good night's sleep, and the toilets were relatively clean. Despite the drawbacks mentioned in the reviews, I had a satisfactory experience overall. I would recommend this hostel for budget travelers seeking a convenient location and a comfortable stay.

    I stayed at this hostel for a week and had an amazing experience. Rena, the host, was incredibly friendly and helpful, making the hostel feel like home. The rooms and bathrooms were always clean, and the location in the city center was perfect for exploring. I made new friends and felt a real international vibe during my stay. I will definitely be back again next time I visit. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

    Would recommend this hotel.

Plenty of showers and fridges, including one in the room. Good central location. Amazing restaurant recommendation: Apiri, with delicious dishes and unique Greek white wine

    Mind-blowing location in downtown, close to port and bus station, perfect for exploring. Super helpful and kind receptionist who went above and beyond to assist with printing my boarding pass. Jaw-dropping international vibe, met amazing people from different countries in just one night. EXCELLENT vintage building with lots of style, well-preserved and very clean. Awesome kitchenette with basic cooking facilities and free coffee/tea. Great opportunity to make new exciting friends. Fantastic room with enough space, lockers, and individual electric sockets. Super kitchen with cutlery, stove, and microwave. Impressive number of showers, toilets, soaps, and toilet papers for all guests. Convenient roof terrace for sleeping outside.

    The hostel had a great location in the center of Heraklion. The owners were kind and helpful, providing answers to any questions we had. The international environment at the hostel made it easy to meet new people and make friends. As vegetarians and vegans, we appreciated the presence of lockers in the room, enough showers and toilets, and the availability of AC at night. The free coffee and tea throughout the day was a nice bonus, and Rena, the owner, was a sweet lady. Some rooms even had balconies, and the hostel had a nice breeze throughout the day.

    Felt super comfortable, no complaints.

    Great location! The hostel was just a short walk away from the city center, the port, and all the attractions I wanted to visit. Plus, there were plenty of bars and restaurants nearby, making it easy to find a place to eat or grab a drink.

    The shower situation was a major downside. The hot water was only available for a few hours during the day, which didn't fit my schedule at all.

    The manageress was warm and friendly, providing delicious homemade marmalade and fresh flowers. The location was great, just a 5-minute walk from the center of the city and close to the port. The rooms were spacious, clean, and had a fridge and air conditioning.

    The hostel had an odd setup with the kitchen being split between indoors and outdoors, making it difficult to cook. The shower had no hot water and the supply of crockery and cutlery was insufficient.

The hostel had everything we needed, from clean dormitories with fresh bed linen to a spacious kitchen with all the utensils we could ask for. The air conditioning and free wifi were a bonus, making our stay comfortable and convenient. The friendly and helpful family running the hostel made us feel right at home. excellent facilities and great value for money.

    Felt like in a fairy, no complaints.
