It’s a nice place I live in room with 8beds
There’s a kitchen with kitchen implements we can use
There’s a hair dryer in the washing room
And there’re lockers in the room but no hangers
Cross Street u can see the sea
Walk 3mins there is a market (not expensive)
Maybe around 10 mins u can see the church
It’s a good experience

I‘ll recommend to choose a lower bunk when you are going to stay in a 6-beds-room, because there is no private curtains in upper bunks.
What’s more, you must spend about 6 euros to rent a towel if you don’t bring one.
It’s a little noisy in night especially for people who must go sleep and get up early to attend a travel tour. But you can always get ear plugs from the friendly stuff for free.
