"No intimacy at all. Don't trust the photos, there are no curtains for the beds. All lockers are taken (or without... locks, sic). Some check-ins are made late at night (even at 2-3am sometimes) but check-outs are at 10am (insane). Staff come and go in your room without notice. Bathrooms are dirty. AC are disabled by day. And it's always full old people, somehow."
