Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Basic shared facilities — Some dorm rooms share bathrooms, and a few guests noted that shower areas could use better privacy, like a door instead of a curtain.
- Mixed reviews on room condition — While many found rooms clean, a couple of guests mentioned issues like stained mattresses or squeaky beds.
- Paid internet in rooms and limited breakfast — Free Wi-Fi is only in public areas; some guests found the paid in-room internet expensive, and breakfast options were described as limited.
