Handy Hostel with Helpful Staff
helpful staff ensuite bathroom
A pleasant young man at the reception helped me with my luggage upstairs. I didn't catch his name, unfortunately. The staff were really helpful, offering assistance with directions and local tips. The ensuite bathroom was convenient. It included a shower and a toilet.
The room had some minor issues with the decor. The carpet had a noticeable stain, and there were some dents in the wall. Only one chair was available in the room, despite there being four guests.
Dining
