Safe and central

As far as hostels go this was lovely. Included basic ammenities such as shared bathroom, kitchen and hang out area. All ammenities were very clean and modern. Staff were helpful. Beds featured curtains for privacy, however very noisy with 5 other room mates - standard for a hostel I guess.

Good two night stay with rooftop views

I stayed at this hostel in Heraklion for two nights and it was a good short stay option. Nothing spectacular, but clean, safe, and well located. I stayed in an all girls shared dorm with bunk beds and had the bottom bunk, which was fine for sleeping. The room had a sliding door that opened to a small balcony, which was a nice touch. The common areas were clean, the air conditioning worked well, and hot water was reliable. The shower area was small, and the showers on my level were co ed, which is something to be aware of. Lockers were large enough to fit a full size suitcase and additional items, but you do need to bring your own lock. The hostel has a rooftop with great views and a bar that opens in the evenings. The location is excellent, with plenty of dining and shopping nearby. I felt very safe, and most of the staff were friendly and helpful. A front desk staff member assisted me with arranging a taxi to the airport, which I appreciated. I am older than the typical hostel crowd and mainly needed a place to sleep between excursions. This was a good accommodation for two nights, but I would not choose it for an extended stay. Overall, a solid option for budget travelers looking for convenience and location.

Perfect stay

My stay at the hostel was great! Location is Great. The rooms were clean and tidy and the beds even have curtains. The mattress is a bit noisy but that’s not a big deal. Great rooftop and drinks. The stuff was very helpful and lovely. Would recommend!

Excellent Hostel

This hostel was great!! Clean with friendly staff, good common areas and a rooftop space and bar. Dorm rooms had AC and curtains on each bed. Hot water and fast wifi.

6/10 Good

The 8-bed room is not what is shown. There are now curtains on the beds at the time that I stayed in June 2021, so the photos are misleading and means less privacy than expected. Staff was also a bit of a mess. I was checked in with a bed upstairs and then moved twice more because they couldn't figure out where to put me (ummm make a reservation chart?).
