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.

A recommendable place for sure to stay :). Close walking from bus stops, in front of places where to eat fast food and also the sea. The dorm was fine and good beds, without curtains. The kitchen was prepared with many useful cooking tools. Nice decoration, nice staff helpful and able to speak good English, they are prepared to receive tourism with maps. This is not in hands of the hostel but would be nice if they can do something: there are couple of guest so stinky, one close to my bed was sooo smelly, I was capable to recognize when he was not covered with the blanket, so disgusting, also the house keeping is nice to clean, but there is to many guest, the trash cans are so full and people do not wash their dishes.
