"Dealbreaker for most people: not only does the dorm not have outlets by the beds—it only has one double outlet for the whole room of 4 beds (and it’s up high where you can’t set your phone on anything). Buy a power strip, guys! I had another stay here where I was in a private room and that was quite nice. Great location. You need to bring your own towels and padlocks for dorms. (They theoretically had towels for rent but they weren’t available when I was there.) no AC, just fan. Half front desk...
