The rooms were very basic as expected. No privacy curtain and no outlets for top bunks. 1 bathroom for 10 people that is not particularly clean and there is no bath mat, so floor is often wet. Only a small locker for belongings which isn’t ideal. For the price you’d expect them to at least offer bag storage for the day you check out, but 10 USD is actually crazy. Staff were nice. Only real plus were kitchen facilities. Atmosphere was a bit wacky and made it a bit weird as a young person.
