Very noisy all around. Our room by communal bathroom, so door slammed everytime someone used it. Staff helpful and friendly great location

8/10 Very good

Beds were comfortable, quiet at night. We had workmen making building noise (banging, drilling) outside our room for both afternoons, which was really annoying and hopeless given the cost of the room. Overall, clean and well run, weird having to put our sheets out with the room cost!

The service here was amazing. But the only down side is it's so loud like you can hear everything it could just have been bad luck with the person next to our room.

Well appointed comfortable dorm with 4 bunk beds, storage, curtains and individually compartmentalized. We were a family of 7 and with kids. Kids had a ball, large expansive kitchen with games section adjourning and the best but is it is a stone's throw away from the town with all the dining options avail.

2/10 Poor

When we arrived we found that the site had already charged the two nights that we booked. Despite having paid we found the conditions so awful that we did not stay, but easily found a nearby place that was cheaper and much better. I would say that the site and its system borders on unethical
