I didn't have high expectations because it was a hostel. As expected, the building and rooms were a little old. However, the front desk staff was very kind and carefully explained how to get on the bus, the reservation slots for the Blue Lagoon, whether I could use a taxi, etc. This time, I used it during a long trip, so it was convenient to have a kitchen and a washing machine.

There were many solo travelers and I was able to make friends easily. The interior was stylish. Unfortunately, the restaurant on the first floor was under renovation and unavailable. The location was great, close to the sea, the city, and the bus stop!

It is indeed very cost-effective but I will not choose it again. The room is dark and even a little damp. In addition, no one mentioned in the comments that the windows are sealed. So it really feels like the air is not circulating. And there is currently construction nearby, which makes it inconvenient to walk on the nearby roads. This construction is not reminded on the hotel information page. I chose this one when the price was similar, and did not choose the loft. I regret it very much. In addition, the staff are quite random. Some have a good attitude. I happened to meet a male receptionist who is a little crazy, and he will quarrel with you for no reason... Other places can be locked, and the kitchen is at a regular level. You can see the snow-capped mountains, which is a plus, but it is not much better.
