Nice place, pretty standard for a hostel. The staff are amazing though and can help you out with almost anything you need. Very clean and close to the pedestrian walking area.

The prices of the rooms at Rea make you feel like you're getting away with murder. The neighbourhood and appearance of the rooms at Rea make you wonder whether someone DID get away with murder!

The neighbourhood and appearance of the rooms at Rea make you wonder whether someone DID get away with murder! Still, if you can stomach the ghetto-like neighbourhood and doctor-office like rooms, you can't beat the price nor the spit distance from the street of shops. The hotel staff was REALLY nice too (a diamond in the rough).close

It is however a great place for small groups of two or more. We really enjoyed our stay.close

close to the center. other than that, everything was just really basic. If you're not looking for anything exceptional, this place is just fine.

Very nice staff with some nice bars and restaurants around. Unfortunately, very noise during the night because of the scooters and dogs barking.

The staff were helpful, but that is about the only nice thing I can say about this place. The hotel is located on a sketchy alley behind the museum, in an area I didn't feel very comfortable walking in at night. The window in the bathroom was broken and the drain in the floor backed up. In...

Location is alright and the hostel gives a 70's feel to it. Shower is not great and room is quite minimal. Upside is that the staff(the female owner especially) is very friendly and helpful and they give good recommendations for restaurants too.

The place is very old and not very clean. The location is ok, it's in the center of Hiraclion. The guy at the reception wanted us to pay for a Fiat seicento as much as you usually pay for a much bigger car. You have to pay a lot for a breakfast that is very poor.

Even when we found a police station @the street they mentioned on the web, the police had to check a map book to find out. The name of the the remain they mentioned on the web can't be found @ the location anywhere, even you passed it several times, we aren't sure where it is. We spent over an hour to get there. We arrived but the room was not vacant, so we asked for a place to have our breakfast. Since we didn't pay for their breakfast, the staff was very unfriendly and didn't tell us where the guests have breakfast. We had to sat at 2 small chairs @the doorway with many things around, until one swiss family went downstairs to have breakfast.close

Nice quiet place with nice and helpfull staff. Good location, walking distance to the venetian fountain, the hourbour, busstation and other hot spots in Heraklion. Good place for backpackers who dont need luxery, just a quite place to sleep. Recomended:)

Nice old Lady who helped us everytime. We just stayed for one night, we liked it, it was clean. It's nothing for people who like luxury, but backpackers will find everything they need.

This place had a good location and the rooms weren't bad although the shower sucked - but nothing unusual in that in Greece! Is a really noisy, creaky place, so I wouldn't recommend it if you're craving 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep! The sheets were stained, but clean nonetheless (I think!). Not...

I can't say enough good things about the people who run this place. It's not the fanciest, but it is a great spot to experience Iraklion from.

Fine if what you need is a cheap place to stay in Heraklion. Very centrally located. Very helpful staff. Bathrooms a bit run down. Shower curtains would be a big help. Comfortable beds.

We had same travel troubles which meant that we had to change our reservation and it was no problem at all. THE STAFF IS AWESOME - THEY TOTALLY MAKE THE HOSTEL!! Not only were they friendly and knowledgeable, they also spoke English really well which eliminated the language barrier for us. Our room was also very clean, although it was a little chilly. (Which would be nice in the summer, but we were there in April). We also had a balcony, which was great. The shared bathroom was small-ish and the water pressure wasn't great, but it was clean and servicable. The hostel is in a good location - close to the airport, the port, and tons of cute shops and good restaurants. (Go to Cafe Utopia, which is right around the corner, for thier drinking chocolate. 5 euros gets you an amazing chocolate drink, a 1.5L bottle of water and a tea tray stuffed with goodies.) You have to take a bus to get to a good beach, but it only takes 10-15 minutes and the town's buses are really nice. Overall we loved this hostel and would stay there again in a heartbeat!close

The only complaint is the taxi drivers don't like to drop you off at the door, but down a couple of streets. This is due to the streets being really narrow throughout the city. It is a short walk to everything downtown and the staff are incredibly nice and helpful.

If you just want to sleep and shower at your hotel for cheap, this is the place for you. If you care at all about anything else, like that the hotel is graffittied all over or that the entrance is in a dark alley, don't stay here.
