Limited private room availability, primarily dormitory-style lodging.

“For a budget-conscious stay, this place impressed me with its cleanliness and surprisingly spacious rooms, some even featuring private bathrooms. I found the self-check-in smooth, and the location provides a decent base near the beach, especially appealing with its outdoor seating area. It's a solid choice when affordability and practicality are top priorities.”
