The standard of the rooms and dorms here is a source of frequent disappointment to guests. The accommodation is found to be less than clean and very dated in appearance. Guests also describe the rooms as a little smelly and find the bathroom facilities disappointing.
Guests report that the Wi-Fi here is abysmal. The connection has been frequently described as slow if guests were able to get online at all. Getting a strong signal in the rooms appears unlikely.
