Average

Overall just average. Did not get a key to the room, just the door was unlocked for all four guests in the room. Bathrooms were not the cleanest. And there was only a few power points right down low, staying in a top bunk was unable to charge my things.

Only one power bank in the room , showers are transparent, they charge you for the bed sheets , only two showers for everyone (females). Really far from the city and some one stole my food.

Sehr freundlicher Rezeptionist, Einzelzimmer nett eingerichtet, sauber und ruhig. WC und Dusche waren ebenfalls sauber und schön, der Druck der Dusche angenehm. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet und sauber.

Meget bedre end forventet

Vi var super tilfredse. Gode senge og rene. Vi skulle bare bruge en seng for natten, så forventningerne var ikke høje og efter at have læst anmeldelserne var vi også lidt bekymret. Men vi var SÅ tilfredse og sov virkelig godt.
