    Mostly Wonderful Time at Chania Hippie City Hostel

    • Bed in 4-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room

    Dorm beds were narrow & low ceilings, felt like a tomb🥲 Shower was inside the toilet cubicle so was tricky to keep loo seat dry. In kitchen area the massive fridge was really noisy. The roof garden area was mostly filled with smokers🤪guests. Long way to walk back to Main Bus Station.

    Very close to Vénitien Port, beach and grocery convenience store. Met lovely dorm travellers, WiFi was good, Reception Staff helpful& friendly. Water in kitchen was of drinking quality, so good very grateful! Handy street to walk through to the beach, Esplanade & Tavernas, and Vénitien Port. Only 30minutes walk to Museum of Archaeology, on the historical Villas Trail. Aircon at night made heat bearable.

    I didn't like the pod style set up of the rooms. It meant there was very little air circulation even with the air conditioning on. I really struggled to sleep due to the heat in the room. There was insufficient storage for luggage inside your rooms, so my bag was stored outside in the hallway. There's no place to hang your towel either. It is fine for a short stay but be prepared for tight spaces.

    The staff were very nice and the location was only a 10-15 minute walk to the old town, and 8 minute walk to the bus for the ferry port. Its is cheap.

    The Hostel is really small - for us it worked for a night but we would not stay longer than a weekend. Of course this is personal.

    Check-In was easy. Location is nice to get in the city center. Breakfast was good and included.

    Size of the room

    Good location, shop with good prices just next door. Breakfast was good, the cooking lady was very nice and she was making sure that everything was ok , with info what has been cooked :) It was clean, showers/ bathrooms were cleaned every day. The room was very small , but very comfy bed with sockets next to it. big lockers and rack for suitcases for each person. You need your own paddlock. only 10 min walk to the centre, and 25 to sandy beach. Bus station approx. 15 min walk . you can go to elafonissi, balos and gramovuosa from there. Girl from reception was helpful giving info about bus to the airport ( 2 min walk from the hostel and only 2.5 for a ride there) WIFI in the room (bottom room female dorm) wasn't great, but it worked fine in the kitchen and on the roof top. In the evening the bar wasn't open (end of july) The beach nearby had a very limited space due to high tide (all day). a quite few bars next to the sea with reasonable prices .

    Lack of signage...for example DO NOT BOIL MIK IN THE KETTLE (Or any other food) there is a microwave for that purpose or an induction pan for the induction hob. The house rules should be in different languages and more visible to the hostelers ie, about leaving your shoes outside or on the balcony . Customers should be made more aware of the house rules upon arrival, so no excuse for breaking them.

    I liked the staff who were friendly and very helpful. The other hostelers were also friendly and considerate of others ( but you always get one :/ )the location for the beach and city was excellent. I loved hanging out in the kitchen after a beach trip and made it my own for my 10 day stay, keeping it clean as did the others, but...you always get one who doesn't. The showers and toilet facilities were kept clean by staff and hostelers also kept them clean for others...again, you always get one and he chooses to cough up the contents of his lungs and cough constantly into the sink, leaving it a mess for someone else to clean. Not the hostels fault. There was no breakfast but im guessing that facility was closed because its theend of the season. Never the less, te kitchen was available so that you can cook, eat your own food. It was a great stay for me, I can't complain, it was cheap but it was clean and privacy adhered to.

    There is very little space in the rooms

    The hostel is convenient for its location. Close to the bus station, 10-15 minutes walk, near the old town. There are places to take a walk in the evening. The sea is nearby. If it's for 1-2 nights, it's great for the price.

    The hostel itself is noisy, you can hear how people from other rooms go out and into their rooms. In my 4 ppl room we had very little space to turn around. I had very noisy and smelly neighbours. There is no common space to sit and talk. So my neighbours were sitting in their room, talking and eating..After my polite requests they didn't stop. When hostel is full, bathrooms are nasty and dirty. Dryer for wet clothes is located in another room for 6 ppl, so you have to interrupt other people for your things. For breakfast if something ends, the stuff doesn't put more food. So if omelette and coffee are over, so no more food for you. I wouldn't recommend this place. Find something a little bit more expensive and stay there.

    If you stay alone in a room during unpopular days (autumn, Wed-Thu), it's ok. Stuff is nice. Bed is comfy, clean sheets. But I had another day in room of 4 with super noisy and smelly neighbours - it was a nightmare!

    Rooms are definitely too small and noisy. This makes kind of impossible a decent sleep and messy the organization of people belongings. The showers are basically on top of the wc's. The rooms in the basement of the building are very smelly and inappropriate.

    The place is in a good location close to the city center in an area also strategic for parking the car with you've one with you.

    The bathrooms were dank. They close the kitchen between certain hours at night so you can’t use it.

    The position is awesome very close to beach and walking distance to old town. Beds comfortable enough. Breakfast was good but you have to get there on time to have enough food.

    Extremely narrow shared rooms, very difficult to navigate whenever more than one person (or open door or any luggage) was involved. Our room was just behind the shared kitchen area, with a completely open gap in the wall (near the bathrooms) which meant that all the noise, smells and light from the kitchen area were coming through (first impression was the smell of oil) making it quite uncomfortable. We had some bite marks after a few nights (possibly indicating presence of ants and/or bed bugs). We needed to make the beds on our own, we were just handed all the sheets and pillow cases. Failing automatic light in the bathroom.

    Great fresh wholesome breakfast every day, very nice upstairs terrace available constantly (with food and drinks served as well). Great location in general, less than 10 mins walking to the heart of the old town and even less to the seaside boulevard. Nice and friendly staff, always available and happy to help. Staff cleaned the bathrooms every day. AC in the room. Bed - OK mattress with handy light, available power supply and good quality USB outputs. Kitchen & dining area available for all guests.

    The bathrooms were tiny and even the corridor, rooms. Cleanliness could be better.

    The bed/mattress was very comfortable. Secure with 3 levels of doors/digicodes.

    No any room or space to sit comfortably, except the little kitchen, but as I realised they are going to prepare a good roof sitting and more area.
