They have a bed at knee level in front of 2 bathrooms in a 6 bed dorm. NO ONE. Should have to sleep there. Never mind that the bed had a non working outlet! It was plugged in, but I had dead devices by morning time and missed my alarm. Should really be testing these things out for travellers. Bathroom needs to be cleaned more often aswell. Floor was completely dusty

Shocking stay at this place, it’s like a crèche hundreds of kids running around lawlessly. No towel included in your booking you need to pay for that, and pay to store your bag while waiting to check in, and they hand you your bed sheets when you check in to make your whole bed from scratch like prisoner of ww2. Bed frame full of rubbish and extremely dusty. Absolutely brutal experience.
