Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location - very close to the sea, to all restaurants and shops. Greatest host!! - very helpful - you get everything you might need. There is always an access to drinking water, and a nice breakfast included. They also provide beach towels, umbrellas etc. They organized a taxi transfer way cheaper than you can get at the airport. One day there was a party at nearby café, but the music stopped at midnight, and other than that it was surprisingly quiet.

    The location of the Hostel was amazing! It is perfect for finding a parking spot and, at the same time, it is close to the beach and the city centre. I love that there was always someone in reception to help you, and that the hostel has plans to offer you, which is great to meet new people ;) The pool was also amazing and the commodities are perfect for a long stay.

    check in didn’t tell me there was breakfast offered. however, the hostel is about a 5-10 min walk from matala beach & so it’s close enough to get there timely but not too close it’s so crowded. great location

    Second visit this year and ill probably be back again next year, as it's a very good hostel on Crete. It's a social and fun place (amongst the guests) and has everything you need from a hostel. Great location. Always very clean as the cleaning lady does amazing work.

    Excellent location right off the beach, room not the best, we weren't a couple and the room had a double and bunk beds, 3 singles would have been much better, good breakfast and cheap drinks at the bar, lovely public areas, nice old fashioned hotel
