Each room has 4 beds and a bathroom. Each room is also equipped with an air conditioner which is great in hot summer days as long as everyone in the room agrees upon using it. The shower stall in the bathroom seems like standard European size shower. It is cleaned everyday but not immaculately clean.

Summary

For the price of dorm room, it does not offer many services as other hostels. For example, there is no free internet. However internet is available on hourly rate. Also breakfast is not provided. There are no lockers at the hostel. They do, however, provide left luggage services for their guests. They also offer bike rental on hourly or daily rates.
