    Slept in a 4 person dorm while I reserved a 2 person dorm on the internet (was the same price) Didn´t want to discuss that because I travelled for 24 hours and was tired so accepted it. Facilities are ok, not really great. In the hostel is quite cold. They say there are hot showers, but I didn´t had any. Big argument about payment because staff wanted me to pay everything while i already paid a fee through Hostelworld. Threatened by calling the police. Finally by showing reservation it was ok.
