in the last weekI'm talking from the experience of the shared rooms. I found way better options not too far away at the same price. The room was quite stretched and hot, I get they can't install air conditioning but the fan they had didn't help at all. The lockers are really annoying to use due to the noise they make overall during the night. I stayed there one night and decided to leave. I wish I could've get a refund for the nights I didn't spend in there cause I really regret paying what I did for what I got

in the last weekOverall the amenities were great Amend staff was friendly and the service was good. The room however was friendly the main street with not the best soundproofing so that one could hear everything going on the street despite shutting the windows. The AC was not fully and consistently functionally and the room would become stuffy amd humid over the night. And i had booked a female only dorm, but there seemed to be a male staying in my room... the room was overall not a great experience.
