Twelve frames, no more

Ten of the building and its rooms, two of what is in front of it. Each caption says what is inside the frame and stops there.

The blue Hostel Mateo sign in the foreground, with Himarë's promenade, umbrella pines, Spile Beach and the turquoise bay behind it
The sign, and what it hangs over: the Lungomare, the line of pines, Spile Beach and the headland closing the bay.The property's own frame
A dormitory with steel bunk beds down both walls, dark red privacy curtains and a pale wooden floor
A dormitory: bunks down both walls, a curtain on every berth, and the corridor running past.The property's own frame
A blue-painted bunk bed with the numbers 5 and 6 on its frame, a dark red curtain drawn back, and a mirror reflecting numbered lockers
Beds 5 and 6. The numbers are painted onto the frame, and the mirror behind picks up the locker doors carrying the same ones.The property's own frame
A bunk bed with its dark red curtain half drawn, folded towels on the mattress, and a column of numbered wooden lockers in the mirror beside it
The curtain pulls the whole way across. The lockers stand at the foot of the bunks, one door per bed.The property's own frame
The inside of a lower bunk: white bedding, a small wall-mounted reading lamp lit, and a wooden shelf above the pillow
Inside a berth — a lamp at the pillow and a shelf for whatever you want within reach of it.The property's own frame
