Dificultad para poder lavar ropa a mano. Cuarto para lavar no útil con el buen tiempo que la ropa se seca al aire.

We arrived at 22:00h with our bikes and we have no problem with the check-in, the receptionist was very friendly. The storage for bikes was safe and everything very clean. The hostel is very quiet, we had a 8 bedroom for 2 people in a Friday in July. Definitely worth to stay there.

la possibilité de discuter avec le web par mes propres moyen. Mais il faut dire que je suis qu'une nuit pour moi. Indispensable mais si une personne serait rester plusieurs jours. Je trouve que signaler un check-point web-wifi serait fort utile... sinon tout est classe. Nostalgie et la classe made in U.K
