Bed in a 14 Person Shared Dormitory

MartaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Impressive historic building, very authentic. It is impeccable and clean at all times. The staff is very professional, accessible and friendly. The upstairs room is very peaceful and quiet. The bathroom was always free. I had a lot of privacy and I was very comfortable. The spaces are very welcoming. Individual bathrooms with a sink and showers with double the space to leave things and change. My only suggestion is that the women's bedrooms are more expensive and I don't think that's appropriate. We must create safe spaces for women, especially travelers who are alone, and have the same prices.

A bunk bed in a cozy room features a lower double mattress and an upper single mattress, each with neatly arranged linens. Natural light fills the space through a large window dressed in floral curtains, complemented by a round mirror on the wall.

Private Double Room with Shared Bathroom

Everything looked clean and perfect. But restaurant is too bad. There wasn’t even a menu card to choose. Just a poster with 2-3 options. Has a pool table, it’s fun. Shared bathrooms but always free and clean to the standards. It’s not a BYOB place but who cares 🤣
