Perfect hostel and location. Don’t hesitate to book. Fast and friendly communication via WhatsApp. 24h reception. Good breakfast. Sheets changed after guests. Regular cleaning. But the negatives: 1. 10% percent off if you book 3+ days direct through them but in low season at least, the price is the same cost as booking through app. 2. 2% added CC card fee 3. Problem with hot water in womens for last two days but prior to that, it was continual hot water. 4. No bidet at all
