This place are in the centre of the town. Walks easily everywhere. Rooms only and shared toilets and baths, however, it is perfect just for a couple who loves travelling and exploring places, not looking for a decent room. Good for a group of friends. Totally recommended to all explorers and backpackers.

The room in the photo was nothing like the one we got. Ours was just a bed with very dark sheets and a filthy carpet. We were so disappointed that we payed to stay somewhere else even though we had payed for this room.
