Nao considero que seja adequado para pessoas idosa

A altura da cama dificulta o acesso pois , mesmo sendo baixinha, nao da para sentar na cama, nao tem cadeira no quarto, entao ficou bem dificil. Sou idosa e nao me foi oferecido um lugar com uma cama de facil acesso. Tive que usar o maximo da flexibilidade que me resta para arrumar a cama, me deitar, me levantar. De manha, o recepcionista levou uma nova hospede para o quarto e simplesmente adentrou ao quarto sem ao.menos bater na porta e aguardar. Se eu estivesse nua ou seminua teria sido constrangedor. A explicaçao que deu é que a nova hospede nao falava portugues mas isso nao justifica o que ele fez. Foi minha primeira vez em um esquema de albergue. Na proxima vez me atentarei que so a cama , lencol fronha e travesseiro fazem parte do pacote. Se estivesse no verao eu teria sentido calor.

A estadia correspondeu às minhas expectativas. O local é simples mas tudo está bem conservado e limpo. O café da manhã é simples, mas bom. Só faltou um queijo na opção. Funcionários foram solicitos. Só senti um pouco de insegurança pois as janelas estavam trancadas a cadeado e não identifiquei sinalização de saida de emergência. Mas no geral é um bom custo/benefício.
