Situated in Chania Town, within 300 metres of Kladissos Beach and 1.6 km of Etz Hayyim Synagogue, Constantinos Budget Beds features free WiFi throughout the property. The property is located 2.8 km from Chania Old Venetian Harbour, 1.7 km from Mitropoleos Square and 1.7 km from Folklore Museum of Chania. Kucuk Hasan Mosque is 1.9 km away and Firkas Fortress is 2 km from the hostel. The pictures don't do it justice. I thought it was going to have just the bunk beds, but it even has a kitchen and a couch to hang out at. Also the bathroom is private, which is not visible in the pictures or listed in the property amenities. It's quite spacious and in a decent location (20-30 minutes walk from the center), with easy parking. Amazing for its price

The property is around less than 1 km from Matala beach, 11 km from Phaistos and 14 km from Museum of Cretan Ethnology. The accommodation offers a shared kitchen, a concierge service and organising tours for guests. I really loved this hostel. It has a good wibe to it, location is perfect not to far from the beach and cafes/restaurants in Matala. Very friendly volunteers. Big and well equipped kitchen, nice and social common areas with a bar. Big bonus with the pool outside. I had a wonderful time, and ended up extending my stay every morning for a week.
