This property is situated a short distance from attractions such as House-Museum of Eleftherios Venizelos and Saint Anargyri Church.

Great and quiet location very close to the main square in Pitsidia and easy enough walk to the beach. Sofia is very helpful and the common kitchen and laundry room were wonderful. The courtyard patio was the perfect place to hang out.

Situated in Chania Town, within 300 metres of Kladissos Beach and 1.6 km of Etz Hayyim Synagogue, Constantinos Budget Beds features free WiFi throughout the property. The property is located 2.8 km from Chania Old Venetian Harbour, 1.7 km from Mitropoleos Square and 1.7 km from Folklore Museum of Chania. Kucuk Hasan Mosque is 1.9 km away and Firkas Fortress is 2 km from the hostel. The pictures don't do it justice. I thought it was going to have just the bunk beds, but it even has a kitchen and a couch to hang out at. Also the bathroom is private, which is not visible in the pictures or listed in the property amenities. It's quite spacious and in a decent location (20-30 minutes walk from the center), with easy parking. Amazing for its price

The property is around less than 1 km from Matala beach, 11 km from Phaistos and 14 km from Museum of Cretan Ethnology. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, a concierge service and organising tours for guests. I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Matala Hostel! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality that made me feel like a special guest. The highlight for me was definitely the inviting swimming pool, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The staff, led by Adam the manager, went above and beyond to ensure my stay was enjoyable. Names like Sophie, Tobias, Theo, Caroline, and many others made my time here unforgettable with their friendly and helpful demeanor. I highly recommend Matala Hostel for anyone looking for a welcoming atmosphere and exceptional hospitality. Can't wait to return!
