5.9Verified guest“We arrived in the afternoon and were initially given a 3-bed dormitory as booked, but it had been given to others as a private room. The staff quickly resolved the issue by offering us a private room in another nearby hostel. The next day, we were asked if we could sleep in the extra bed of another guest's room, which wasn't ideal but it worked out. The location near the station was convenient.”
