Quiet at night4432Split

I didn't like that the furniture was poor quality and it would always make a creaking noise when anybody is using the upstairs bunk beds

Booking network, May 2026, rated 5/10 by this guest

I didn't like that too much light comes into the room, and that the beds make noise and move a lot.

Booking network, May 2026, rated 9/10 by this guest

It is a bit loud due to the city itself but they do provide earplugs at the hostel.

Room size37Weak spot

The common area was especially claustrophobic and had no windows.

One thing I didn't like is that the room is tiny and the curtain doesn't cover all the bed so there is no full privacy.

The rooms are too tight,they don't offer covers for beds,beds aren't comfortable at all,maitresses are very rough,very bad rude black american officers don't make any request or help guests ,every day at 11am telling the guest you have to check-out!!!!

The pictures online were not so accurate, it looked like we would be sleeping in pods/cupboards basically, but it was bunkbeds - which honestly I prefer because the pictures made it look claustrophobic
