I wasn't a fan of Heraklion, I stayed two nights and I wish I didn't. The hostel was incredibly quiet, not social, and the rooftop bar wasn't open. The room was musty and dark but the bed was comfortable and it had curtains. Staff were lovely. I just didn't feel that comfortable with the people in my room and I only met about three people in the hostel for the entirety of my stay. The showers don't have a shelf or hook. I wouldn't recommend staying here - go to Chania or Rethymno instead.

Quick trip, so regret I didn't spend more time at So Young or in Heraklion, but perfectly comfortable to spend a night. Good lockers, shower facilities, and reasonably comfortable beds. Decent spot close to much of the downtown.
