Incredible hostel, ended up staying twice as long as I had planned. Staff are super super friendly and it is obvious how much they care about this hostel.

The facilities were great and spacious. It had a great socializing section upstairs. The only thing I wish they could change is to have darker curtains. The lights from other beds were especially noticeable.

First time in heraklion and there was no receptionist in site when I arrived late afternoon.There was a keypad and ineeded a code to get in. I was able to find a whatapp contact number and get them to assist me. Very clean place and close to the airport.

Pretty good overall. The privacy curtains and the kitchen is good. The layout of the bathroom and showers is a bit strange and there’s no atmosphere.

One of my favorite stays! Idk how it didn’t come up first when I searched the city but trust me, stay here! It’s so clean, the kitchen is great, the bunks you can sit up in, there’s even women only showers

This (unfortunately only one) night was just comfortable and nice – and I don’t mean only the beds. From the welcoming until the goodbye and also the house itself. Would definitely book again whenever I’m back in Iraklio. Thank you so much, you’re doing a great job :)

This hostel is AMAZING! The air conditioning is awesome and keeps up with the heat! The lockers are nice and big so you can fit a lot in there. The showers were clean, drained well, didn’t smell like bad in anyway and the water pressure was good/the water warmed quickly and the shower head height was adjustable. The staff was so amazing the entire time- from check in, to putting up with my endless recommendations questions, to rooftop bar time!!So kind to me! Would HIGHLY recommend this spot...

Ce fut ma première expérience en hostel et j'ai passé un séjour très appréciable. Proximité avec bars, restos et commodités d'Heraklion, le rooftop est très agréable, il facilite et permet éventuellement d'y faire de merveilleuses rencontres. Aussi, l'accueil des volontaires et salariées fut également excellent.

Great facilities. Super clean. Good location. Only thing is not much of a social atmosphere at all, I stayed in a female only dorm. Everything else good though!

Had a great stay. There was a small problem when one of their tradesman took a long time to finish a job in our room, but the staff were not to blame and very apologetic - and it’s not a everyday occurrence, so the way they dealt with it is more a positive than a negative. Highly recommend. Suggestion: maybe they could offer a basic continental breakfast in the kitchen or on the roof, so it might be a bit more social. But plenty of social life within 20 metres.

Le lit est très dur et la porte de ma chambre faisait un bruit d’enfer. Donc chaque fois que quelqu’un ouvrait la porte, ça me réveillait. Aussi, ça a pris un bon 10-15 minutes avant que quelqu’un vienne me répondre à l’accueil alors que je cognais.

Quite nice! My only complaint is that there was no air conditioning on the second floor of the building, which was not great on hot days. The staff were very nice here too! 15 minutes walk from the ferry and main bus station was manageable and fairly convenient for getting in and out, although it would be trickier with larger luggage.

Nice and friendly staff. But I got bed bug bites everywhere, that killed my experience.
