Nice place does the job. You can’t cook for yourself but the food on offer is great and a fair price. The family vibe is nice

very cute family run hostel. view is to die for but the walk up the hill with your bags isnt fun very steep. little kitchen on the terrace is basic but gets the job done! the dog is small but randomly aggressive, tried to bite my legs. other than that, was good!
