So Young Hostel is situated in Heraklio Town, a 4-minute walk from Heraklion Archaeological Museum and 400 metres from Venetian Walls. Popular points of interest around the property include Municipal Museum of the Battle of Crete and the National Resistance and Koules. Attractions in the area include The Minoan Palace of Knossos, 5 km away.

Despite I stayed in 8 beds dorm, it was quite comfortable and due to the curtains I had privacy. And the terrace was amazing place to have a breakfast & coffee. Also I've met nice people to have a small talk.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    George is a great host! His hostel feels literally like home, safe and pleasant, it is an excellent place to rest before further journey in Crete. Everything is clean, and I like stone floors and stairs. Its like in palazzo ;) The hostel is located near Heraklion, but outside the city. You can reach the city comfortably by bus (but don't miss the last bus on the evening) Highly recommended for anyone who wants to visit Crete.

    I enjoy walking, so the location was perfect. The hostel was about a 15 minute walk from the bus stop / nearest grocery store + restaurants. The walk to the most popular beach was around 30 minutes, and was very safe. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, I felt very at home and safe as a solo female traveler.

    Really, I recommend this place. It was a big house surrounded by trees with a parking place. The wooden beds were very comfortable, the linen was clean. The bathroom had a bath, two sinks, and laundry. The host received me with a cup of his own olive oil. Every time I went to the kitchen, I joined the host who was always offering me amenities. It was one of the best hostels I've visited. Thank you for the hospitality!
