Rethymno Youth Hostel is located in the centre of Rethymno, close to everything that you could need. It is a ten-minute walk to the beach, shops, and restaurants. There are also many excursions to go on from Rethymno so it is a great location to stay at to explore all that Crete has to offer.
The hostel is easy to find. If you come to Crete on the overnight ferry, you will be met by a bus that takes you from the harbour to Rethymno. From the bus station in Rethymno it is about a fifteen-minute walk to the hostel.
The hostel is very clean and well maintained. Facilities and services include a small kitchen/eating area outside on the patio, a common area, book exchange, and internet (reasonable cost). Breakfast is cooked by the manager (again reasonable cost), and there is an area to hang laundry to dry. The rooms are all very spacious with comfortable beds. However, there are not security lockers for storing your bags. The hostel does have a safe where you can put your valuables, but nowhere to lock up your bags. During the afternoon there are not any staff working at the hostel so there is no one watching to see who comes in and goes. Although the hostel is located on a quiet street, the lack of security could cause problems.
The hostel has lots of information about the local area and the excursions that you can take from Rethymno. The staff person who was working during our stay was amazing. He was very welcoming and able to help us with anything that we needed during our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hostel.
