Liked: Staff are friendly.

Disliked: Terrible place. Extremely noisy. All rooms face a tiled communal area where people stay up until all hours screaming, singing and playing bad music. Didn´t sleep a wink. Also, it´s about 20 minute walk to restaurants and main square. Our room was not secure, the windows did not lock and the carpets were filthy.

Liked: ...

Disliked: We chose this place because it was the only one with double rooms available, but when we got there there was only a twin room left. Hot water only run in the afternoon and the attention at the desk was not very nice, they called us on the street once we left to tell us we had not paid and we had, they should have checked first...
