Very close to the beach and shops. As well as a pool. The owner was so class. Everything was lovely. I couldnt have asked for a better time. The nearby restaurants are pretty cheap and there were many friendly locals

Affordable accomodation, great service, easy transportation!

For the price I was extremely pleased with what I found at Manos Studios Hotel. I stayed in the female dorm room which was clean and had an attached bathroom and small kitchen as well as a balcony looking out over the pool and with a fantastic sunset view in the evening!
The pool was a little bit too cold to use in May, but it still is very nice and I'm sure it's lovely in the warmer months!
The location for the hostel is a little far from town, but it's right next to a bus stop making it easy to access Heraklion, the port, and the airport without too much trouble. During the summer there's also a bus directly to Knossos if that's what you're looking to see. Just make sure to ask for more details about the bus before using it as the numbering system is a little confusing! The stop is called Hotel Roxani (I didn't have the name before coming, so hopefully that will help some other people know where to get off!). On top of a handy transport system right next door it's also on a road with lots of shops and restaurants and like a five minute stroll from the beach. So really unbeatable in that respect!
However, the best part by far with this hotel is that the manager (owner?) is extremely kind and helpful. I asked a lot of questions before coming about transport and all and he answered everything very courteously and promptly. Definitely one of the nicest people I've met traveling!
So know that if you pick Manos Studios, you'll have a pool and easy transport and close beach access along with great service.
Think my only complaint would be that the beds were a little uncomfortable, but really not too bad for the price.
Great stay, highly recommend!

Great hosts, location, and pool!

Very easy to get to from the port and airport, tons of restaurants and shops nearby. 2 minutes from the beach. Very accomodating and helpful hosts! Great pool, quiet environment, and a view! Wifi only until 2nd floor unfortunately. Otherwise, a wonderful place to stay in Amoudara!

Amazing place to stay in Amoudara!

My friends and I stayed at Manos Studios for two nights and absolutely loved it. We stayed in an 6 person share room that comes fully equipped with its own bathroom and kitchen. A 2 min walk from the beach, it's the perfect place to stay, and has the upside of having its own pool for days where the beach may not be as nice. A number of supermarkets close by as well as some cute restaurants.

Long weekend in Crete

Great value for money, large spacious room with balcony.
Only a 10 minute bus ride outside Heraklion centre, so no city noise, but close to beach, restaurants, bars & shops.
Very helpful & friendly staff, good knowledge on what to see & how to get there. Would highly recommend.
