But at the same time, no noise is heard from the street in the hotel’s inner courtyard, and it is forbidden to make noise in the hotel itself after eleven in the evening - this is actually being watched. Rest here is also recommended to those who come with a good company of friends, and also loves to travel around the surroundings - they are so picturesque that they have enough impressions for a whole year. In a word, this is a wonderful youth hotel on an insanely beautiful island. Only now there is often not enough time to sleep. Although for young people this is only a plus.
