Hostel Stylianos Kissamos

not aloud to use a bar fridge, there is no tea cattle. No social kitchen. You need to pay for the coffee.Or to sneak the cattle behind the bar. Lots of mosquito. Walls are not connected to the ceiling. If someone is smoking, then you smell it. Not social. Facilities are not clean, no personal. an owner actually shoved the only neighbour I so there, the German guy, outside in 40 degree with the luggage at check out and closed reception . And, he is seaking a female from tourists,trying to see, how much money you've got, if funny experience

I got there by chance, meeting Stylianos a representative of authentic Cretan hospitality, convinced me to stay in a hostel for the first time in my life. I don't regret it at all. For only 25€ per night, I stayed in a separate bedroom of the flat on the first floor, it even had a nice kitchen which I used for cooking & enjoyed my meal at the veranda which has a surprisingly wonderful sea view, there is a bbq also. I visited Platanos village, "Mouraki" tavern with a spectacular view of Falasarna beach from above, breathtaking! Falasarna has all the beach bars & the sea is crystal clear, definitely worth visiting more than once! Balos lagoon is unbelievable & the most exotic place in Greece I have ever been, you should definitely visit by boat trip, Stylianos will take you to the harbor of Kasteli no charge! There are buses just in front of this hostel, you have easy access to everything. The owner is one of a kind, always there to help you with everything you want to know about the area & all the wonderful places around it, always with a smile, he will offer you limonchello & lots of useful advices. Kasteli (Kisamos) is the ideal place to get a room if you want to visit Balos exotic lagoon, Falasarna & Elafonisi (pink sand!!) because is the closest place there combining all the shops, taverns & restaurants. Staying in Kasteli gives you the chance to visit all those places more that once, something that you won't have the time to do if you stay in the city of Chania. I believe that Kasteli is a hidden diamond & in the near future it will have all the investments & the 5* hotels it deserves. I plan to visit again.

Der Betreiber macht die Preise nach Lust und Laune... für ein miserables, nicht sauberes Zimmer hat er mir 60 € berechnet. Frühstück war nicht mit inbegriffen. Er war bei meiner Ankunft äußerst seltsam und unfreundlich.
