However the pillos and mattresses are not the most comfy, the bedsheets were too loose, which I fund uncomfortable too cause they move all the time.
Google, May 2026, rated 4/5 by this guest
Pillows were not good very lumpy, and white pillow cases looked very old and tired and not very white.

The beds aren't great either.

Room sizecomplaints rising: 9.1 in 100 a year ago, 12.5 now416Weak spot
The 6-bed dorm felt quite small and a bit gloomy, with limited locker and storage space.
Google, January 2026, rated 3/5 by this guest
Rooms very small with no lockers so all the bags were piled up around beds which you had to climb over
Booking network, January 2025, rated 8/10 by this guest
The rooms are for ten people and there is no place to put backpacks, everyone has to leave their backpacks in the small room and the space inside the room narrows, please find a solution to this.
