Guest reviews
Fabulous
Highly recommend. The best I’ve stayed in at this price level
Liked: Excellent in every way. Beautiful sun terrace for evening drinks and socialising. Spacious rooms. Loved the curtains on each bed for privacy. Such lovely friendly staff.
Disliked: Nothing
It's a good hostel to stay if in Heraklion
Liked: The girls who manage the space are some of the nicest. It was always a good time with them. They were especially careful about ensuring the bathrooms and rooms were clean and smelled good. The women's showers had an external wooden door and a bench to store clothes and toiletries, which made the bathing area very convenient. The curtains were a welcome addition, and the location was central. The rooftop was a welcome addition.
Disliked: This hostel is very noisy. By noisy, I mean that the AC in my room made the loudest sound I have ever heard an AC make and so, we had to leave it off on all nights. The flush on the ground-floor toilets was noisy too however it didn't bother as much as the AC. The wireless charger by my bedside wasn't working, and could also have done with a USB-C type port. A hairdryer in the bathroom would help.
Disliked: I got bad itchy bites (bed bugs) from staying in Room D, Bed 2. I advised staff (through this site) to take steps to deal with this, urgently.
Liked: The location is excellent. The room is clean. The locker is very big. The price is competitive.
Disliked: The socket is less. I can't charge my phone if my roommate is using it. It has wireless charger, but somehow is not working well.
Recommendable
Liked: I had a great time there. The staff was really nice and I met people at the rooftop area. Everything was clean and nice.
Liked: Excellent staff and amenities, good service
