The manager was helpful. Communal kitchen was nice had freezers that I needed to store my frozen food in. Bed was comfortable. Has a bar fridge in the room. My bedroom had a private bathroom.
I didn't feel too safe there, felt my car would get broken into. Needs some maintenance, especially the bathroom. Water took too long to heat up.

The room had a terrace with a nice view. The owner we met on the second day was friendly. It was quiet.
Honestly I don't like to complain or give bad reviews but that furniture in the room was so old and used up. We found a full ashtray on the private terrace of the family room. That shouldn't be. The shower cabin is mouldy, the sheets stained and no staff around on weekends.... Honestly it's a backpackers place and not a luxury hotel but for that money they charge it should definitely be renovated. No offence tho.
