  • Value

    "if you value any sort of privacy at all, the dorms are definitely not for you." source Hostelworld

  • Room

    ") the problem is there is absolutely no noise barrier between rooms(just a thin piece of glass with a curtain separating each room) and also the walls to the outside are thin(hence the outside noise) other than the noise for a cheap place to stay it wasnt all that bad." source Hostelworld

    "The rooms are fairly standard for hostel rooms, but there is plenty of break out space and extras such as internet and a huge TV." source Hostelworld

    "The room we stayed in was very nice but the bedding smelled like pee which was odd." source Hostelworld

    "The dorm room is pretty much a hallway without any doors, which means its loud." source Hostelworld
