It was close to the road and a little noisy, there were road works during our stay. Windows are not double glazed although the shutters cut down the noise a little.

Tall ceilings and nice floor tiles! Nice the lower ground seating area.

The sheet situation, you get one sheet and it’s very thin. The bed sheet on the bed is a towel material which is a bit scratchy then the one sheet you get given is to cover yourself which when it’s cold or windy you’re left shivering. If I could suggest offering people two sheets a medium one and thin one and they can choose to put it down on mattress to sleep on top of or sleep with as a blanket to regulate temperature. Also the blinds when it is hot really stop any air coming in so it’s really not well ventilated. Additionally I would make it really clear that there are other toilets/showers as everyone was waiting for one bathroom next door when there’s a whole room a few steps away.

It was clean, with all the facilities you needed, even in the kitchen which was really useful. Staff were helpful, and there was also a cute cat. The bed itself had sockets and a privacy blind. The bus to and from the airport stop just down the road (it’s not very clear online but it does) and it’s a straight forward walk to the town centre.

Nothing to say

It was in a good location, within walking distance to the city centre, the room was equipped with air conditioning and I had the luck to have a bathroom in the room, so everything was great. The staff was perfect and Efi (sorry if I write incorrectly) was really nice and cool to chat.

Nothing at all.

Everything. The staff were delightful, the amenities top class, the reception area was like a good cafe with great drinks and food snacks options, the common sitting areas were luxurious. It was more like a four star hotel than a hostel yet with all the socialising advantages of the latter. Cant recommend it highly enough.

I think I was lucky to find a parking spot 350 m away.

Well designed and comfortable bunks, with a locker below.

I didnt like the bedsheets - it was too cold for me at night and I couldn't sleep because of that.

Fast accomodation, close to the city centre, friendly people.

Nothing to note. Would visit again.

The double rooms in Kumba Hostel are situated on the top floor of this beautiful building with high ceilings and elegant architecture. We loved the vibe of the Hostel and the room was filled with natural light, clean, and just the right size for our two-night stay (at half the price of any other hotel). What is more, the location was very convenient for us.

I had a big issue with one guest who apparently is staying there for a loooong time (months). I heard many people had the same issues as me. So I wrote a kind message to the owner to explain what I was dealing with and why this person was crossing many bounderies (like respect of the other, respect of the room in terms of noize, screaming, farting, burping, laughing like a mad man)... But the owner didn't even take the time to answer.

The hostel is really nice in a beautifull area. Big common kitchen (laking of quality stuff to cook) but clean, big and working. The chilling area is very nice, cozy and confortable. The staff is very helpfull and will make your stay nice and lovely. Room are nice, mats are very confy and you get a tick curtain to enjoy little privacy. Recommanded

The doors didn’t lock to the room, but you could lock you items up. also it would’ve been nicer if it was closer to the center.

The environment was great, and I met some people! Also the vibe is cool.

We had a great large room with our own private bathroom and Super comfy queen size bed. Location Was perfect to access old town which was only a short walk. Even though it is a Hostel, it was quiet and enjoyable. The Staff was great!!! Definitely recommend this place!!! Great value for the money..

I am allergic to animal fur and there was a cat inside the hostel. Cats in Crete seem to be sacred animals, they are everywhere around the island, and I understand that it might be part of the culture. It is just that my health condition allows me only to enjoy them from the distance.

I really liked the atmosphere at the Kumba Hostel, it is beautifully decorated with African pieces of art and I loved that. I learned that Kumba means Home. It has vast and cozy common areas which is great. It is also very clean and well maintained. My bed had a blind which provides extra privacy in a shared dorm. The girls at the reception were very friendly and helpful. The coffee you can drink there is one of the best in Chania in my opinion. I would definitely recommend Kumba Hostel to everyone planning to visit Crete.

I didn't like that the dorm didn't have window and the air was not fresh due to working moister collector and that I had to ask for the 2nd bedsheet (it's was everywhere only one on beds to put down) and towel was for extra price. The dorm was quite close to the hall where it was very noisy in the beginning.

The atmosphere was very nice. It's clean, modern, personal is friendly and helpful, there is minibar and coffee bar with snacks, beds have good mattresses, it had shower in the dorm (but no toilet).

I got the upper bed, and it's not easy to get in and out. That is the only negative point!

Good vibes and very comfortable place!
