Hostels in Crete

"The location was walkable to the Old Town, port and many restaurants. Staff were very helpful. Parking was made easy. Balcony was a nice feature. "

"We had a fantastic two-week stay at Mitsis Rinela in summer 2024! From the moment we arrived, the experience exceeded our expectations. We were pleasantly surprised with a complimentary upgrade to a room with access to a shared pool, which really elevated our holiday experience. The room was spotless and well-maintained throughout our stay. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with a smile. We especially enjoyed the evening entertainment—it added a lovely touch to our nights and created a great atmosphere around the resort. The dining options were another highlight. In addition to the main buffet, there were several à la carte restaurants offering a nice variety of cuisines. One thing to note is that these restaurants require advance booking. Unfortunately, we weren’t aware of this at first, so we missed the chance to use our full quota of reservations. It would have been helpful to get a heads-up about that upon arrival. Overall, though, Mitsis Rinela offered a beautiful and relaxing getaway with great amenities, top-notch service, and memorable moments. We would definitely love to return!"

"A luxurious hotel right at the port. Heraklion itself is not that great as a destination (though the museum is good), but the Megaron is the best place to stay if you come into the port. "

"Fantastic location close to the old town Chania. Everything you would want. Friendly staff. The breakfast is lovely. The 1866 Bistro Bar has good food and Excellent Cocktails"

"We stayed in this hotel for 7 nights , it is very beautiful hotel away from the old town but equally not too far with 10 minutes drive from the old town which cost €12 by taxi. The hotel has got two heated swimming pool, right in the front of the beach , breakfast was excellent with wide variety of options, we did half board with dinner which I preferred open buffet as I am fussy eater , and there wasn’t alot of vegetarian options on the ordered menu, the staff everyone were very pleasant and helpful, the suit been serviced twice daily , I was very happy of my choice of the location of the hotel not in the heart of the old town as was my original plan.but slightly away from it ."

""Lyttos Beach is an absolute gem! The crystal-clear waters and powdery sand make it a perfect spot to relax and soak up the sun. The scenic views are breathtaking, and the beach is well-organized with amenities nearby. Whether you're looking to swim, sunbathe, or try your hand at water sports, Lyttos Beach has something for everyone. The atmosphere is calm and serene, making it an ideal destination for families and couples alike. I highly recommend Lyttos Beach to anyone visiting Crete. It's a must-visit destination that will leave you with unforgettable memories." 5/5 stars."

"Beautiful hotel close to the airport, the port, and the city. The staff were super helpful. The rooms were great with great bathrooms"

"Perfect one night stay to visit the Palace of Knossos, which was a short drive away."

"Had an amazing weekend at Palmera! Check in staff was kind and efficient. The bar staff was not attentive, I was often ignored but it didn’t bother me too much as I wasn’t in a hurry. Unfortunately, there were many extra charges and add ons that I was not made aware of. Many guests and I complained about the fact that we paid for all inclusive, yet most things were not included. A bit disappointed about that, a simple note on the property details would have sufficed. Regardless, the food was delicious and the vibes were great! The kitties were my favorite part! I would come back, but only after April 1st, when everything opens for the season. "
