Intra Muros Hostel

Enjoyed the stay at the hostel. The people (Volunteers) at the desk were very helpful. The rooftop is a good place to hangout and meet fellow travellers. Location is in close proximity to main shopping areas of Heraklion. Also has a 24 hour convenience store within a 5 minute walk. Overall, it was a very good experience.

Muy lindas instalaciones. Amplio, bien organizado y muy limpio.

Quite a small hostel, but in a great spot with lots to do and more social than many of the bigger hostels in Chania. I met plenty of travellers on the rooftop bar and in the dining room, and the volunteers are absolutely great with local knowledge and often willing to go on road trips on their days off. Sara was very friendly and showed me some amazing places around the city so definitely get to know her if you're staying before October 2024! Would definitely recommend Knossos and the archaeological museum (the buses are quite good), Amnissos Beach, and a trip Agios Nikolaos. La Brasserie in the town is a great place in the evenings and during the night too (be prepared to stay up until 3/4am)!

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.

I had a truly delightful stay at the hotel. The beds were comfortable and private, and the facilities were well-maintained. David, the tour operator, was incredibly welcoming and took us on a tour of the city of Heraklion and the Minoan Acropolis. He truly made the stay special and helped us to forge lifelong friendships

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.
