Sorry to say but wasn’t even worth the 10$ a night, it smelled awful, I paid 100CRC to rent a towel that smelled like mold. In general I felt so uncomfortable. Thought I have to say that the stuff were lovely kind and helpful.

One of the dorm rooms (Congo) smells very musty and there is black mould on the walls where the furthest away bunks are. We moved bunks after mentioning this and the next day there was someone put into the bunk regardless.
