panding to 10 rooms at research time) is a traveler's dream come true. Spotless dorms and
doubles with comfy mattresses and individual reading lamps are complemented by a fully
equipped kitchen, volcano-view roof terrace, pretty back garden, fantastic information dis-
plays and a distinctly friendly atmosphere. Breakfasts (US$6) and laundry service (per
load US$8) are available.
