“Great experience”
The hostel is beautiful and has a large garden where you can relax. It is quite clean and conveniently located right next to the bus stop for the airport. It’s also very close to the beach, and the city center can be reached in just a 10-minute walk. The owner was super friendly and incredibly accommodating.

“Beautiful hippie vibe hostel”
Great location, close to beach and 20 minute walk from centre where everything is. Beautiful garden, great vibes, amazing people. Kostas and Nacho are the friendliest and most interesting people and made the trip there so valuable. Small hostel vibe, easy to meet people and relax.

“cozy and cordial hostel, located a bit outside of the centre which i liked”
very cozy place with a nice garden to come down after a hustly day in the city or elsewhere. i liked the area, because its a bit outside of the centre, in a more residential area. with a nice walk next to the sea you can reach the centre easily. kostas is very cordial and welcoming and gave me good advices for places and trips. good place to get in contact with other travellers. the value for money is very reasonable. thanks kostas for the pleasant stay. :)

“Lovely staff, great garden and walking distance to Chania old town.”
Kostas is an excellent host who was very friendly and helpful during my stay. There were enough facilities in the hostel for my liking and it was clean. The garden (with the cats!) drew me in and I had lovely a lovely time sitting in the hammocks talking with other guests and reading a book. There's a great bakery in walking distance and within 25 minutes walking you're at the Old Town. A little further is Nea Chora Beach which I really enjoyed.

“Good Vibes only!”
This hostel feels like your home away from home. It has a great backyard and seperate kitchen, perfect for meeting new people. A great place to stay if you’re solo travelling. Very clean and in a good location, moments to the beach and just a little outside the old town. Kostas, the owner is so warm and will give you great local tips on places to visit (away from the tourist trap.) Couldn’t recommend highly enough. Thanks Kostas for making me fall in love with Chania!

“Most beautiful and personal hostel. Pure love ♥️”
We had such a great time at this amazing and super cozy place. The owner is extremely lovely and helps you with whatever issue you have. And all the people staying there were also super cool and nice. The yard is definitely a place to get to know some more people and relax after a day of exploring the beautiful city or sunbathing at the beach all day.

“Awesome garden”
The garden is wonderful! You can see a lot of love was poured into it. Amazing place to relax, read a book or chat with fellow travellers. Everything was clean. Bathrooms are renovated and it is great you share it only with people from your room. Old town is a bit of a walk, but next to the sea, so it is very enjoyable. The kitchen has free tea and coffee and a lot of spices, which is a nice touch. The fridge was frequently cleaned. Wifi was fast and reliable (I worked remotely). There is a beach 4 minutes away. I felt very safe there. Kostas is a wonderful host!

The owner is a super kind guy, made a tour around the hostel for me! Hostel is also nice, a bit old property, but good for cheap vacations, it has its own backyard to have some chill. Also it’s possible to rent a beach towel at the reception (good option for backpackers)

“My second stay.”
Saying that this was my second stay at this hostel is already enough to show how much I like this place. All hotels are similar but hostels have their particular character, and if I have to describe this hostel is awesomely welcoming and fun to stay. Most of all I like very much the garden which is a great gathering please to rest, chill out and meet other friendly travellers.
