Comments: Beds were too small, and packed into a small room. we didn\'t have pillows upon arrival. kitchen could\'ve been more accessible considering the amount of people which are packed into the hostel. But open concept was super cool, washroom facilities were great.

Comments: The most fun hostel i have probably ever stayed in! I stayed here last October and have some great memories. If u are a fairly social person this hostel is perfect. It is not a very large place so everyone staying there is really welcoming and gets along really well. The manager Ivan is great guy and will do his best to help you out. If you're planning to go to Crete, there'd be no better place to stay (especially because its so cheap!)

Comments: this was a great place and i really recommend going but a pain in the ass to find. looking at the station you need to go to the back and left side there's this set of stairs. at the top of the stairs go left on the street and just keep following the street until you get to the big park and then youll see this arch to your left go through it and its down the first through street on the right (theres a little street right before it)

Comments: A good hostel, with a great location. Not far from the beach. Ivan the manager was friendly and tried to take care of all our needs. The toilets are in a seperate block away from the hostel and there was limited hot water. However, for the price of 9 euros a night, for the typical backpacker, you can't really complain. Good times.

Comments: make sure if you're travelling to this hostel you are able to make it from the port/ airport with enough time to catch a bus if your not comming directly to Rethymno. Our ferry was delayed so we missed the last bus to Rethymno and the only way to get there from Iraklio was an 80 euro cab ride...

Comments: This place was nice. The guy who owns it was awesome. Its about a 10min walk from the port, but of course we managed to get lost, so it took us 2hrs to find the place.
