While backpacking, there is always a need for a well equipped laundry.

The washing machines and dryers are operated by coin machines and you can purchase washing powder sachets from reception.
The pay phone located in reception that takes $1 and $2 coins and also allows you to use pre-pay phone cards. A Fax machine is also available during reception hours. Ask reception for our rates for sending local, national and international faxes.
