Best hostel ever!
This is the cleanest hostel in the world! I've been to many hostels and this is definitely one of the best! 2 fully equipped kitchens, swimming pool, huge and very clean bathrooms, fast wifi, good bedding... everything is great here! The location is the best, 2 blocks from the bus station, surrounded by shops, markets and cafes. Don't hesitate to book this hostel, it's the best in Crete!

Good value for money
Very good value for money- clean and great central location. We stayed in room no. 10 which admittedly was a bit noisy, facing the street and at street level plus wedfed in between the kitchens and across from the laundryroom! As I travel with earplugs it did bot bother me though and I would recommend staying here.

The hostel is very clean even the toilets are cleaned often. It would be better of hangers are provided inside eqch toilet cubicle. There is oven to cook which is amazing but if there is microwave oven to heat the food in a short time would be even better.
While the street towards the city side has few days of bad urine smell, but was washed.

Very clean and close to everything
The hostel is one of the nicest I have stayed at, clean and central enough to walk to most things. I did find it odd that I couldnt get an early check in, when they do not even make the beds. Not only do have to make your own bed (top bunk is not easy) but you strip them as well upon check out and put the sheets in bins. So how hard would it have been to allow someone in an hour or two early? I used the hostel as a jumping spot to other places and had early flights so spent very little time here. Staff was patient, and willing to help for most thing's. This not a hostel for partiers, and I would almost say for people with early morning flights: I packed my bag in the hall to avoid breaking the rules during quiet time.

Will come again..
A very nice Hostel, bear bus station. stroll from old center.
A lil minus :.. bunk beds could be better with a curfew, while the light at bed is very good... but shining the whole room lighten too. And for a lil more privacy.
