Pros:

隱蔽性及床的旁邊還可以放蠻多自己的小東西的，而且有type c充電孔。服務人員友善！

Cons:

吹頭髮只能在浴室吹，但是浴室又很熱，容易吹出一身汗。一間房間最多會住八個人，當大家作息都很不一樣的時候蠻難入睡的，建議戴眼罩！

Did not enjoy sleeping in that room
Pros:

Person on reception was very sweet

Cons:

Top bunk was nowhere near dark enough to sleep. Some person in the dorm had their light on until 3am. Music pounding from the building until 3am. No cover sheet no pillow case.

todella hyvä
Pros:

Majoituspaikka oli siisti ja rauhallinen. Hyvällä paikalla ihan keskustassa.

Cons:

Ainut miinus puoli paikassa oli se että huoneessa ei ollut märille vaatteille säilytys/kuivumis tilaa, mutta sekään ei haitannut, sillä henkilökunta otti märät uimapukumme ja laittoi kuivumaan ongelmitta!☺️👌🏼

Pros:

Sono rimasta solo una notte, ma posso dire che la struttura è molto pulita e i letti sono grandi e comodi. Le camere sono di dimensioni adeguate, con bagni in comune e una cucina comune a disposizione degli ospiti. Ottima posizione per esplorare il centro e l'alloggio è vicino a numerosi ristoranti.

Cons:
