No limpian la habitación diario. El parqueo es muy pequeño. Permiten que las personas fumen en lugares públicos lo cual es prohibido por ley. Nunca varían el desayuno.

Ambiance jeune et bien situé

On a choisi un hostel pour pouvoir rencontrer des gens et on a été servis ! Ambiance jeune et parfois un peu bruyant mais c'était bien ce à quoi on s'attendait et on a été ravis ! Literie peu confortable mais l'ensemble était chouette
