Located in Karteros, 2.2 km from Karteros Beach, SAINT GEORGE provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and barbecue facilities. The property is around 2.3 km from Amnissos Beach, 7.1 km from Heraklion Archaeological Museum and 8 km from Venetian Walls. Free WiFi and a shared kitchen are featured.

Guests at the hostel will be able to enjoy activities in and around Karteros, like cycling.

i like that They have a very good selection of accomodation, where you can either choose to stay in the dormitory where you can sleep in a bed you can freely choose with great mattress, & sleeping conditions with chargers available as well close to the bed, good air quality in the rooms, & also friendly people there that are also travelers that you can meet along the way:)). I like the price, conditions, availability, & the community surrounding Saint George. This is an absolute hidden treasure in Heraklion, where you can stay with ultra conditions for the cheapest price you will find anywhere in Crete.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location, very close to the beach and beach bar, there is a kiosk and pharmacy next door. We liked our room (two bedroom apartment), lots of space, comfy mattress, and good kitchen facilities. You can also dine or have a drink at the property. Lovely owners and all the staff.

    George is a great host! His hostel feels literally like home, safe and pleasant, it is an excellent place to rest before further journey in Crete. Everything is clean, and I like stone floors and stairs. Its like in palazzo ;) The hostel is located near Heraklion, but outside the city. You can reach the city comfortably by bus (but don't miss the last bus on the evening) Highly recommended for anyone who wants to visit Crete.

    I enjoy walking, so the location was perfect. The hostel was about a 15 minute walk from the bus stop / nearest grocery store + restaurants. The walk to the most popular beach was around 30 minutes, and was very safe. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, I felt very at home and safe as a solo female traveler.

    Really, I recommend this place. It was a big house surrounded by trees with a parking place. The wooden beds were very comfortable, the linen was clean. The bathroom had a bath, two sinks, and laundry. The host received me with a cup of his own olive oil. Every time I went to the kitchen, I joined the host who was always offering me amenities. It was one of the best hostels I've visited. Thank you for the hospitality!
