Guest reviews
Very comfortable environment!
Very comfortable environment!
Great location, as soon as you arrive on the first floor you will find the common room, the kitchen and the bar, passing a door you walk past the bathrooms and showers, very clean and tidy... The female dormitory is accessed with a code on the handle (I really liked this solution), 5 bunk beds in total, all tidy, clean room, duvets available for each bed. Free Wi-Fi, but I noticed occasional poor connection. Early in the morning, when I got up, I found the staff busy with the cleaning.
