Rethymno Youth Hostel

I came in to the hostel fore a 3 night stay and ended up staying 7 nights. The hostel is clean! But most of all the people working in the hostel are so kind and helpful, To show you directions but also if you just need a conversation ore a helping hand. This made me feel so comfortable that i wil return here 110% Great stay highly recommend!

Without a doubt one of the best hostels I have stayed at this trip. Tristan welcomed me in and was so friendly and inviting. facilities are exactly what you need not super flash but everything is clean and staff help if there is anything you need. Right in the heart of the beautiful town of rethymno the location is amazing. I stayed for 2 nights and wish I could have stayed longer. The common area and bar were wonderful and the whole place had such a good feel to it. Cannot recommend this place enough 100% will be staying here again.

This hostel has an amazing vibe to it, created by both the staff (thank you Tristan) and the guests. Good value for the rooms and everyone there is keen on meeting one another and exploring the city together. Also great for nighttime activities 🤿

A rare gem! This hostel was such an unexpected treat. The staff is so warm and welcoming and really created a comfortable and inclusive atmosphere. I’ve stayed in many hostels throughout my travels and this one really stands out! The location is perfect and the facilities are incredibly clean and comfy. I’d highly recommend a stay here! I’m already looking forward to my next visit :)

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Stay at Youth Hostel Rethymno! From the moment my friend, Jeanne from Paris, and I arrived, every minute at Youth Hostel Rethymno was filled with smiles and exceptional hospitality. Although I’m from Athens and Jeanne is from Paris, the sense of “home” we experienced here was simply priceless. The rooms and communal areas were immaculate, with a fresh, inviting atmosphere that made us feel right at ease. Even the bathrooms were spotless, exuding a subtle, delightful fragrance that added to our comfort. Manolis, the owner, was truly outstanding! A person around our age, with a perfect blend of friendliness and professionalism, he guided and assisted us every step of the way. The fact that the manager was French was an added bonus! Jeanne felt like she had a small “ambassador” from her homeland, making communication a breeze. I was equally delighted to have the chance to interact with such a remarkable person. The organization at the hostel was top-notch, with a program full of exciting events. The Brazil-themed night was unforgettable! We connected with young people from all over the world, and it felt like we were reliving our Erasmus experience, which brought us together in Tromsø, northern Norway. The international vibe and multicultural atmosphere were palpable everywhere! Everyone at the hostel was incredibly friendly! From the cleaning lady to the rest of the staff, it felt like we were surrounded by friends. I have no words to express how amazing our stay was. My previous experience in a hostel was in Amsterdam, also booked through Hostelworld, but this one is truly one of a kind. A big thank you for the warm hospitality, and we will definitely meet again! If you’re looking for the best hostel in Rethymno, you’ve found it!

I just spent 10 days at Rethymno Youth Hostel, but I have been there several times in the lapse of a decade. It's one of my fav hostels in Europe. There's a great vibe and it's perfectly located in the old town. The managers and the staff do a great job to make everyone feel like at home, and they also made great my experience. Thanks Nikos, Joseph, Tristan, Amas and Maya! (Ah: the most of the photos here on TripAdvisor are very old and do not represent the hostel anymore, since it has been rebuilt in these years).

I enjoyed my stay here, hostel is small which means people are forced to interact with each other and form relationships. Met some amazing people here, rented a car for day trips with them, got up to a little romance, explored the town. Good times, Crete has the best Greek food hands down, there is a grandma cooking in one of the shops nearby it’s famous the hostel should be able to guide you. One star missing because it needs more showers with hot water running at all times. Had to take cold showers multiple times late at night. Also the hostel could officially organize events and outings, most of what I did was organized by fellow guests themselves.

Great experience here, staff were fun and helpful. They hosted a Brazilian themed night for drinks and games, great vibes at this hostel!
