There are now curtains on the beds at the time that I stayed in June 2021, so the photos are misleading and means less privacy than expected. Staff was also a bit of a mess. I was checked in with a bed upstairs and then moved twice more because they couldn't figure out where to put me (ummm make a reservation chart?). ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Patrick 25 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Patrick Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### ilias 25 May 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### ilias Stayed 1 night in May 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### GLYKERIA 21 Dec 2020 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### GLYKERIA Stayed 1 night in Nov 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eriks 15 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Enjoyable This is a hostel.
