A nice relaxed place to stay. The dining area is out on a balcony and is a lovley place to relax. This hostel offers cheap breakfast (added cost) and runs a hostel bar. All of the staff are very friendly. I would stay there again for sure!

Youth hostel Rethymno is excellent place for vacation. It has friendly and helpful stuff (Ivan and Milena-you are the best hosts ever:) This hostel is very clean and close to the beach and beautiful old city taverns.

Very, very basic hostel. Open air rooms means it is overwhelming hot all the time. The 10 Euro price literally only gets you a matress, no pillows, and a sheet will cost you a euro. Very small place but does offer Wifi. The rating would jump 10% if the manager invested in a fan for each room.

I have had a number of hostel experiences and at this point am pretty much just looking for a place to sleep. I do not expect too much from the staff at any hostel, but was blown away by my time there. Ivan and Nick were the two main guys that dealt with the guests and I have to say that I have never come across hostel staff that so genuinely seemed to enjoy the company of the people staying there, and their jobs. They did an impeccable job at making the hostel a comfortable, friendly place. I would absolutely recommend this hostel to anyone.

Great place to meet people. Originally I only booked for 2 nights but then I stayed 5 nights because I enjoyed it so much. Will definitely book it again...

Kudos to the free wireless internet. But locating the bathrooms a couple of levels away from the dorms proved to be a bit inconvenient.

They do not have a 24 hour reception, so when we arrived we were told by others that some beds were set aside for us. A man came and brought us pillows and blankets at 1:30 am. The staff are very nice and helpful, but the location is poor. The bus from the port in Heraclion takes over one hour to reach Rethymno and costs over 6 euros one way. I would recommend staying in Heraklion or Chania over Rethymno.

The hostel was fun and a great place to meet other travellers. The rooms were small with lots of bunkbeds in them - some bunkbeds we in the open air on the roof, no aircon but it wasn't needed during the night. I would stay here again.

Wonderful place with amazing guests; in a great part of town close to the beach. Ivan is great and makes everyone feel really welcome. They encourage use of the kitchen, and it really feels like a community. The bathrooms are outside, but the place is immaculate. Probably my favorite hostel that I've stayed at.
