Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I slept in the 42 bed room and expected chaos. Instead, it was very peaceful and I slept well. The beds are divided into many sections, so it doesn't feel like a 42 bed dormitory. Lots of people were hanging out in the bar/kitchen area at night and it looked like a fun time for travelers. Unfortunately, they do not provide locks so I had to buy one from them. You should try to bring your own lock.
