Doukas Hostel Room

Heralkio City Centre, Heraklio

Doukas Hostel Room has a garden, shared lounge, a restaurant and bar in Heraklio Town. Located around 800 metres from Venetian Walls, the hostel with free WiFi is also 800 metres away from Heraklion Archaeological Museum. The property is 500 metres from the city centre and 2.2 km from Amoudara Beach. It was a special experience for me that I didn't expect it to have it in Heraklion city. I liked the people, the decoration, the paintings, the vintage decoration, the staff, the atmosphere. Nice memories. Extremely Happy of course that there was no any kind of cockroaches!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Kumba Hostel

Chania

Kumba Hostel in Chania Town provides accommodation with a garden and a bar. This property is situated a short distance from attractions such as House-Museum of Eleftherios Venizelos and Saint Anargyri Church. The tour desk is available to assist guests in planning their days out. I stayed in two different hostels in Chania and I really enjoyed my stay at Kumba. The location is about a 20 min walk from the main bus station and the old town, but the neighborhood feels more authentically local as a result. There is one nice city beach within a easy walk and a grocery market even closer. The bathroom facilities are very clean with multiple toilets and showers. Best part is all the different communal areas, inside and out. Big kitchen with room to cook if you want. The pod-style beds had enough room for me to sit up in. Good wifi everywhere too.
