6.0 out of 10, (3)
"Fotoğraflardaki gibi lüx görünümlü asla değil, orta seviye standart bir hostel sadece, Ortak paylaşımlı banyo ve tuvalet olduğunu farkedemeden aldık, Maalesef herşeyi kendiniz temin etmeniz gerekiyor, orta düzeyde bir hostel yatacak yer hariç başka bir hizmet yok. İyice inceleyip karar verin. Mutfak yemek vs yok, su almadıysanız içeceğiniz musluk bile yok maalesef :) "
