"I really liked the staaf, they were very helpfull and friendly.
The room was basic but nice and clean. The area around the hostel felt really poor and insafe at night, so we stayed in the hostel during that time of the day."

Well situated property with an unobstructed view of the sea.
The room was spacious and having the shower room and toilet separate was a really nice thing.
Only negative thing about the room was the kitchenette’s window not having a blind or curtain to keep the light out of the room especially at early morning.
