The room was very clean. The facilities were as described. I had a twin room. The host was on hand when I checked in and explained everything.

The room was quite small, but it had everything I needed. The toilet room could do with a paint. People rang the bell and whistled outside up to my room at midnight. It was a bit daunting being on my OWN.
