The room is a little small for four people (two of them supposed to sleep in the sofa bed which will take most of the space in the room Paid parking by the hotel is quite convenient No elevator

fantastic value for a solo travel on a budget. Beds are clean and comfortable. There's locker to store items. Bathrooms are outside and is very great in terms of privacy.

The facilities are good but I was so angry that the staff took away our food stored in the fridge just because we forgot to write down the date , we have written down our names. One of the staff said that someone might have stolen our food. They advised us to close the floor door so that outsiders couldn't come in. I suspected the staffs have taken the food away for self used. If so, it is unforgivable as we had limited budget for our trip so we chose this cheap hostel. The hostel should learn from Norway Bergen Montana Hostel , the unnamed & undated food would be treated as free food & stored at the very bottom box of the fridge for everyone to eat. It has many fridges for us to us there, not like this hostel which has only 2 fridges & no free food box provided.

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.
