The rooms were clean and had curtains for privacy. The location was great, close to shops, restaurants, and bus stops. the staff was friendly and helpful when needed.
I found it concerning that the room doors were never locked and the front door was open all day long. This made me worry about the security of my belongings.

The location is perfect - right in the city center but tucked away on a quiet street. We loved the modern and clean atmosphere, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. the rooftop terrace was a highlight, offering a great space to relax and enjoy the views. We also appreciated the daily cleaning of the dormitory, ensuring a comfortable stay. So Young exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend it for a stay in Heraklion. Cons: Nothing, our experience was perfect! 😊.

Friendly and helpful staff, great location, and spacious rooms with modern amenities. The rooftop bar was a fantastic spot to relax and socialize. The central location made it easy to explore the city, and there was a good selection of restaurants and bars nearby. The kitchen facilities were well-equipped and convenient to use.
Some areas of the hostel could use improvement, such as the cleanliness of the bathrooms and the lack of AC in the common area. The absence of public transit in the center meant a long walk uphill from the ferry port or bus station, which could be challenging with luggage.

The central location of the hostel was perfect, with a supermarket just 50m away and the bus station a short 10-minute walk. the rooms were comfortable and had thoughtful amenities like curtains for privacy and balconies. the kitchen was clean and convenient, and there was even a cute rooftop chill spot to relax and socialize.
The communication within the hostel could have been better, with guests often searching for staff to pay or ask questions.

The location of the hostel is unbeatable, right in the heart of everything. The staff were helpful and friendly, and the rooftop area was a great place to unwind and relax. The rooms were clean and tidy, and the beds were comfortable.
The noisy plastic mattress covers were quite bothersome when trying to sleep. , some of the other guests were quite inconsiderate, making loud noises late at night and early in the morning, which was very frustrating.
