Intra Muros Hostel

Basic and comfortable room Really close to the harbour and attractions and lots of food places. Basic room, there are three bathrooms in the hallway, one unisex with toilet and sink and separate male and female with 3 shower stalls and 2 toilets. Unfortunately the door pin didn't work that day and so you had to knock on the door till someone inside opened it. There was a key in the morning to open it, but no pin.

I decided to stay here because the hotel that I had booked wasn’t available until the next day. The hostel is easy to get to from Heraklion Airport and cost around €1.20 on the local bus, the closest stop is Agiou Mina which is round a 5 minute walk away. The facilities were good, the staff were friendly, the hostel was clean. There is a lockable cupboard in the room and air con. The beds were comfy and they offered privacy. The only downside was the air con, I was the furthest away from the unit, but it meant that I had hardly any sleep, another guest opened the window halfway through the night which made it a little more bearable. The hostel is around a 10 minute walk to the shops and local restaurants and a 10 minute bus ride to the main bus station. I would stay here again.

Excellent service and easy comfy stay. Friendly staff.

Had the pleasure of staying at Intra Muros. Initially I just came there to settle in, meet some new friends and venture out from there. My first night there I ended up meeting the most amazing people whilst traveling and needless to say I ended up extending my stay with them because the vibe there was so good that I didn’t want to leave. Have to thank the owner of the establishment who was there during the day and all the amazing volunteers that make my stay amazing. I couldn’t have asked for a better time. My first day there I was invited to go on a sunset walk by David which led to me getting to know every one who was there which ended up at an amazing Greek Mexican fusion restaurant. After dinner which we ended up going out around town. David is a volunteer staying at intra muros and does a couple of hikes and tours around the area and around. If anyone needs any food option or advice on the local eating and drinking spots he’s your man. My most memorable moment staying at the hostel was the hike that we did up to the aqueduct and the second hike we did which ended at a winery for a tasting and charcuterie. Safe to say that I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and I’ll definitely be back next year. Thank you again to everyone who made my stay wonderful. Until next time.
