Hostels in Crete

I stayed at this hostel for one night during a music festival, and I had a really positive experience. The room was clean, the staff were very polite and helpful, and they even provided me with an extra blanket when I asked. The location is excellent—right next to the bus stop, just a 5–7 minute walk to the beach, and close to the city center. The room had a proper renovation, the air conditioning...

Staff and guests were incredible and hospitable, made the experience one of my favourites at any stay!!! And the pool was lovely

excellent hostel, friendly people run by young people, they organise evenings such as eating out or pub crawls, etc. you can get a private room with a double bed and nice AC, there is a mini fridge, and right next to the bus stop if you are coming from heraklion bus station, you will have to change buses halfway through however

The staff were great...so helpful.

Decent, could use some renovation as well as more accurate cleaning. Volunteer staff are super friendly and helpful! Bed bugs in my bed (maybe I was unlucky).

We agreed with some more people/guests that a year ago it was better. The hostel needs a proper maintenance and cleaning, if not a renovation. There's so much work but noone to do that job.

Perfecttt it was one of the best hostels I’ve ever been 😍 they are very friendly. I made a lot of friends there 😍

Very nice hotel safe and very clean.

Very good, very good, very good! The hotel is clean and the service is good. It is very close to attractions and the airport. You can also book a day trip! nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

I really enjoyed my stay here. Private attached bathroom, and a separate toilet, with toiletries, and towels. Location is very central. The feel is more of a 5 star hotel, than a hostel! I don't need to say much. Just take a look at all the pictures I have taken the photos. Its without any edit. See them for yourself.

Great location, in the core position of Chania. The amenities are new and clean, and the room is tidy. Maybe it’s off season so I haven’t seen any staff either check in nor check out, but it’s not bad for me.

Very clean, spacious kitchen with enough of refrigerator space, no phone/personal item organization shelf or hanging closets around the bed space. Within walking distance to nearby beach and old town of Chania. The first three days I was bothered by the street noises, which is unavoidable being in the city at times unless the sounds proof is well installed, otherwise it is a great place as a base to...

Enjoyed the stay at the hostel. The people (Volunteers) at the desk were very helpful. The rooftop is a good place to hangout and meet fellow travellers. Location is in close proximity to main shopping areas of Heraklion. Also has a 24 hour convenience store within a 5 minute walk. Overall, it was a very good experience.

Very nice facilities. Spacious, well-organized, and very clean.

First time staying in a hostel and my experience for the weekend was amazing! Everything's really clean, tidy, the staff is really polite and helpful and I had the pleasure of having really good roommates and neighbors! It's close to the city centre so I definitely recommend it!

A wonderful little boutique style hostel. The only problem is I think that some homeless got in

The interior of the hotel is well decorated stylish clean and well looked after by a wonderful group of staff and volunteers who go that extra mile to make your stay as comfortable and as enjoyable as possible. Met some interesting people and enjoyed staying there and will return. Highly recommend staying there

Amazing little jem with a great and simple atmosphere! The rooms were veryy clean, the staff was friendly and helpful, and the location was perfect. Comfortable beds, nice common areas, and everything was well organized. I really enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back. Highly recommended!

Private rooms very nicely decorated. Bed sheets could be cleaner though. Supermarket next door. Bit of a walk to old town but manageable. Good value for money

It's a dirty hostel. The smell there was very unpleasant, but it's cheap and convenient. Flies and mosquitos everywhere.

Great hostel. Kumba has a really nice vibe to it, stayed here before, it has a couple of small lounges and extensive external seating. There is even a cafe and a bar. The staff are very pleasant and efficient. It is not one of those hostels adorned with signs everywhere telling you what not to do, it takes good management to achieve this balance. Nothing is too much trouble, wonderful really. Thank...

had such an amazing stay at Kumba Hostel! ✨ The vibe here is incredible – super chill, social, and welcoming. The staff are so friendly and always ready to help with tips about the area or just a good chat. The hostel itself is beautifully designed with cozy common areas and plenty of spaces to relax or meet other travelers. My room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed. What I loved...

Excellent location!!! Away from the busier and touristy city. Straight walk down the street to the beach/ water. Quieter area that is still walking distance to everything. Nice hostel with organized system and staff. Bathrooms felt dirty with lots of gnats but typical for a shared bathroom hostel. I liked how they had paper towels. Air conditioning didn’t work well and doors didn’t lock except the...

The best apartments i have ever visited. Extremely good value for money! Freshly renovated. Excellent overall.

This place is fantastic. The owner the family so helpful. The appointments are very very clean. Nothing is to much for them Location perfect. Veiw outstanding. Pool clean Just book it you wont regret it I would have no problem going back here. If you want a peaceful place the resort is brilliant Thanks once again

We stayed here with 4kids aged from 7 to 18. The apartments are ideally located -supermarket and car hire opposite, cocktail bar and cafe nearby and both main beaches 300m away. It takes about 5 minutes to walk down to the main beach and tavernas. The apartments are a generous size, fully equipped and comfortable-met our needs completely. Rooms were clean, towels and sheets changed often enough., Properly...

The apartment block, although well taken care of, was a bit old fashioned. We stayed there for a night and we were asked to pay upfront. The apartment was clean, well equipped, big, with cooking appliances and a new clotheshorse. Getting to the breakfast, it was very poor with minimum choices. I think they can do better :) All and all a nice stay and friendly staff, but not that much value for money

Comfortable renovated apartment ideal for a long stay. Joyfull staff and polite! Very good location. Relaxation by the pool and beautiful see! Great value for money. Second time we visited the hotel and we had an even better experience. We felt like family!

We stayed there for 7 days in the month of August 2022 as a travelling family of 5 person. The apartment allocated to us was actually even sufficient to accomodate up to 6 persons with two rooms each having balconies facing the sea. The personel were very friendly and the facility is decent for a nice holiday stay. The town is not far from the hotel and within walking distance of 7 minutes(slow pace...

This hotel is run down the sunbeds are old and need throwing away the pool is just ok , The bar is Absolutely Rubbish Bar What BAR it's absolutely Terrible ,The bar needs to be made a lot bigger with lots of stuff in it like food better ice creams better bar staff that nos how to make drinks 🍸 yes the bar was Terrible, never mind the bed rooms they was clean very basic the beds where very bad...

Needed an extra room for a week and this place was basic but fine. Room cleaned 4 times in 7 nights, right on the coast. Would recommend if you are ok with basic no frills, of you want something for the family it will disappoint. Swimming pool was fine, place was quiet.

Excellent service, very good and pleasant stuff, local food on a high level...I recommend this place

Cheap hotel, so don't expect much, but it's clean and dining place is located 20m from sea so you can enjoy seaview while eating brekfast! If you would like to take a walk 400m west you can find huge and almost empty beach!

We have a fabulous time at Bellos for our week's holiday in early October. We had studio no. 25 and it was perfectly fine. Liked the fact that you had a big fridge with a freezer section. Balcony was nice for a morning coffee in the sunshine. Pool areas were really nice - we preferred the upper grassy area as it was quieter. Both pool bars were great and the staff were so helpful - thank you Hannah...

2 ads and 15yo boy. - short 5 night break. Oct half term. Stayed in 1 bed apt, had to move rooms after the first night, room 205 due to noise, the room is located near a water tank room or boiler/plant room and the hissing and the clunking kept us up all night, we spoke to our neighbours who said it didn't bother them but it bothered us so we requested to move rooms and they happily obliged. As the...

Great hotel and lovely staff, especially restaurant and bar staff. Many thanks Maria for your help with our food requirements and bar conversation. We only have great memories from our 2 weeks at Bellos. Nothing negative to say, hope we can be with you again next year, never wanted to leave when we had to. Hope you all have a well deserved winter break.

We loved the time we had at the bellos ,Thanos and the team are great ,welcoming and friendly, Maria and the restaurant team were amazing and great ,superb service and food was out of this world, the sea bass ,and salmon ,fantastic, the prawns starter irresistible, and wine best we have had for a long time ,in any greek resort. So thank you all ,and we will see you soon. Love Michelle and Tony

Just returned from a family holiday, we spent 1 week at Bellos hotel and really enjoyed it. The staff are really friendly and can’t do enough for you. There’s plenty of room around the pools for sunbeds and they have a bar at each pool that are always open during the day. Different entertainment every night and the food was really good. The rooms are clean but basic, personally I’d of liked a full...

I actually went initially in June of this year. During my stay I had booked to come back in September. I have just returned home from this holiday. Everything about this hotel is relaxing and friendly. The garden...the pool...the clean rooms (basic but everything you need). However, its the staff that make this place. Its family run, the husband and wife and their sons Thannos and Alex. Then there...

Tidy, cozy, pleasant, not the most modern, but perfect value for money. The hotel has its own beach, the sea is clean and very warm (August). The pool is also clean. The staff is very kind and friendly. Maybe a mistake: wifi is very weak.

For families on a budget (or who dont want to vaste money on a fancy place) this is a nice place. Simple, but clean. Give it 4 star due to what you get for the price.. its definitly not a 4 star hotel.

Beautiful location.amazing scenery,beautiful food great service ,always happy to help in fact they bend over backwards. They bring your drinks to u always smiling could not say anything else apart from totally amazing .rooms are good shops and restaurants all local brilliant.from UK x

Wonderful place for a holiday. the hotel is right next to the beach, sea view, quiet place ... In one word, fabulous!

It`s a very nice and clean place to stay, very good for stay with kids. Friendly staff. Hotel is located near to the sea, it`s not far from the old town of Rethymno. Easy to get to Rethymno with the bus, tickets you can buy in every (as they call :))) Super market. Car rent across the street/good price. Food is OK, if you are not expecting much. Across the street you can find trip agency Klados where...

Had everything we needed, close to amenities I'd stay again

The hotel owner and the staff were very attentive and kind. The room was quite clean and was cleaned every day. It was close to everywhere, and we didn’t have any issues with transportation. We will definitely choose this place again for our next visit.

Small and cosy, very helpful staff, good location.

Very kind hotel owner and well maintained place.

Beautiful place! I love the view from the balcony!

We appreciated the wide check-in time and the very pleasant welcome. The accommodation was very clean and as described. However, for the first night, we were downgraded, but since we arrived at night and were so tired, it wasn't too much of a problem. The hotel is well located for visiting the surrounding area and is only 30 minutes from the airport.

Very nice place with friendly hosts! I apprecite their warm welcome!

Fantastic place. Apartments are spacious & clean. Hosts are terrific

The family feel and joyful atmosphere are some of the best features of this holiday apartment complex. With a pool, a bar, generous apartments and friendly, welcoming hosts, Stalis Bay appartments was a gem of a find on the island of Crete. Rooms were cleaned daily with fresh towels and bed linen. Compared to some other places we've stayed, there was plenty of cutlery and dishes for your own meals...

Amazing place! Everything you need for a perfect family holiday, and just a two minute walk to stalis and five minute taxi to Malia! Rooms are simple but with a full kitchen and are cleaned everyday. Highly recommend this place!

I can’t say enough good things about the Mirage, spotlessly clean and friendly. Everyone we have met that works here has been lovely. First of all a massive thank you to Niko, you now feel like family. Also a massive thank you to Mike and Zak for making us feel welcome. The cleaning staff too have been amazing. The only downside has been a couple of other guests that I wish we had avoided but everything...

I have been to this hotel before and I gave it 4stars. However, this time I would definitely give it about 3⭐️⭐️⭐️. The reason why is because, they started charging for air conditioning, when that was not a thing, the prices of the snacks, and food were very expensive, and happy hours is not really happy hour. Perhaps my first time was really good and the expectations were high, but I did not think...

My partner and I booked a trip to Crete in September, not realising that we had booked a hotel in Malia as we are not big party people we were worried we’d be kept up all night by the bars and clubs on the Main Street. Our stay at Mirage Studios completely surpassed our expectations. We had the perfect romantic week away! The owners and staff were so friendly and attentive, the room was perfect for...

Very nice hotel with the most lovely staff

Niko is the best !!!! He is the best you will never find a man as sexy, as good at his job.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🔥🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

We stayed here for a week — four adults and a baby. The location is great, close to the sea and just outside the busy touristy center. The pool area was calm and relaxing, and the garden was green and beautiful. Unfortunately, there was only air conditioning in the kitchen/living room, so the bedrooms got pretty warm. Sheets and towels were changed once during our stay. All in all, still a good value...

Lovely self catering apartments with a pool area. A bit dates outside but gorgeous looking from the inside with attention to detail for a relaxed stay. The location is one of the best in the area as it is literally 50 steps away from one of the best beaches of Hersonissos.

Such a lovely place. Beautiful surroundings, a good kitchen and a nice pool. Close to the town but without the noice and close to very nice beaches

Loved it, close to everything but very peaceful and lovely grounds. The pool area has sun all day as there are no high rises nearby!! Great value. Would definitely visit again

Very relaxing, beautiful place. Nice garden with palm trees, comfortable apartment. The sea is about 80 metres away. Good value for money.

Excellent apartments, depending on their location within the hotel. Large rooms with convenient layouts. Self-catering amenities are available. There's a large supermarket just across the street, and the sea is a 7-10-minute walk away with good access. There's another inexpensive supermarket on the way to the beach. The sea is very warm and clear.

Small, almost cozy, with large rooms and huge balconies. The linens are definitely very old—that's a downside. There are shops and stalls nearby, and a fishmonger nearby (they have the freshest seafood). A room overlooking the courtyard would be preferable; it's quieter there, but the smell of sewage can sometimes be overwhelming. Overall, it's a great budget choice; we loved it. Be prepared to have...

Nice friendly place for a good quality drink shame more people don’t use it though

About 200m from a beach, very close to restaurants and two supermarkets. Free parking available.

If you looking for value for money you should check this place out. Yes the mattress are old yes the bathroom is old the air conditioning is old. BUT 1. They clean the room every day 2. They clean the swimming pool every day 3. When we need help about where to go for food they when over and beyond to give us directions 4. The hostess she is amazing 😻😻 every day give us greetings make us feel like...

It’s a family owned business with a few generations history. I find it charming. It’s decorated with vintage furniture. The original furniture with great art on the walls. I have a veranda in the front and a huge one in the back. Complete privacy. Very friendly price considering the thousands of dollars asked by the other hotels. It’s near the beach. It’s very near Malia. Service is provided by the...

For 20.75€/night it was nice. Mattrass was super old and all the springs just bottomed out. No support and super uncomfortable. Everything else was also old, but at least in working order. The area was catastrophe. Big road, private properties and big hotel chains with huge fences and blocked ways. Completely destroyed "natural" beach.

Pros: value for $ Friendly owner Nice sized room for 1-3 people Bathtub Good location- close to supermarket and bus stops Nice paintings and clean Nice balcony Cons: low season so pool and many places closed It took a while to heat up the little stove thing Wifi connection was weak problems with door and bathroom light If i came to Crete again, i would stay here

The best and the most comfortable lodging with very low price amongst 5 hotels/apartments I stayed so far in my 3 months Greece trip. Well furnitured (in 80' but in very good conditions) has everything very warm spacious apartment, quiet corner but next to the biggest resort and waterpark the Star Beach and few more well built beaches shores for tourists, locates at the main road but is with privacy...
