Perfect location!
Have in mind that this is a backpackers hostel. It is located right next to the water and all the restaurants. Matress is worn down and will give no support. Separate showers are kept in fair condition. I was very locky to have been given a see view room - fantastisc. wi-fi is very poor.

Good hotel comparing to the price level. For backbackers good place to stay over night. The hotel keeper Frank has helped us organize our trips. Frank speaks good English so it's easy to ask him for advice. Location is very good. Restaurants and sea are near. We recommend.
