"great for older backpackers who are roughing it"

7.0

Was recommended by the Yacht school, not fit for 18 year olds. Dorm was terrible but the two bed unit was much better.

Sketchy people & kids did not feel safe in the bigger dorms.

"Buena estancia para pocos dĆ­as. Muy cerca de Waterfront."

5.0

La habitaciĆ³n bastante confortable. El baƱo estĆ” viejo sobretodo la baƱera quizĆ”s deba sacarse. Nada de bulla importantĆ­simo para poder dormir despuĆ©s de un dĆ­a muy agetreado. La cocina y dependencias muy sucias. La ubicaciĆ³n es muy buena y en un muy buen sector.

Le faltaba mucho aseo a la cocina y al sector de cafƩ tambiƩn a los espacios comunes de tv entre otros.
