So Young Hostel

I had a great one-night stay at So Young Hostel. The staff was super friendly, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the common areas had a relaxed vibe. The location is perfect, close to everything. I’d definitely stay again—highly recommend!

Beautiful hostel, helpful stuff and clean. However, this hostel has a massive problem with bed bugs. I slept there on the first day on my Crete trip in the dorm D and had approximately 100 bites in one night. This made my whole holiday in Crete a nightmare because of constant, unbearable itching in the heat

I stayed in the 8 beds shared room, felt cozy and nice. The kitchen is clean and well organized as well with bathrooms and showers. There's a rooftop to chill and the installations are comfortable. Nice personal as well.

A peaceful Oasis in the center of the city. Giorgos in the reception gave me a warm welcome and made me feel at home. The premises and guests have a zen and relaxing vibe. I enjoyed the rooftop fresh breeze and the starry night sky 🌟 My bed light was not working but I didn't need it either. There are recycle bins, some free goods and the rooms are clean and tidy. This place is a gem 💎

Great location, very friendly staff. The rooftop space is a blessing. Bed and bath rooms could use a bit of a modernisation, but you can't beat these prices.

I stayed two individual nights at the hostel in a female dorm while passing through Heraklion. First, it is nice that a hostel option is available, as not all places in Greece have them.||But overall, the hostel is just fine. There, available, clean, and that's it. Wifi is fine in some parts of the hostel but not all. The layout of the hostel with the female showers on bottom floor next to mixed larger dorms and then the room upstairs, is a bit weird. The upstairs bathrooms are like half baths and tight but available.||It was early season so we didn't air con at night but there is some street noise so leaving the windows or door open might not be the best idea.||The bunk beds are weird, the bottom is low to the ground, top is uncomfortable to maneuver up the ladder on. Plus are in the beds but in weird spots. But there is a privacy curtain which can do a lot.||The female dorm, like two private rooms, are RIGHT off the kitchen so when people are loud or congregating in there at like 1am, you will hear everything.||Rooftop is nice and I enjoyed sitting up there. Laundry is 4 Euro to wash and 4 Euro to dry, there are lines upstairs.||For a budget quick stay, this was a fine option. I would only stay again if I was passing through.

While having stayed in a couple other hostels in Heraklion, I believe this one by far is the best. Location is central, their staff is really friendly and the rooms/beds while not the best, they are still great. Besides it has a nice rooftop on top, where it’s welcoming to have a beer or just relax.

Perfect location, very clean spaces, beautiful terrace on top and a big kitchen for all the guests :)
