8.2/10 Very Good! (3,304 reviews)
There are a variety of rooms ranging from extremely small to multi-room with living space. Our room with a king bed was the former. We felt like superman in a telephone booth. Smaller than some cruiseship rooms and we were not happy. Needless to say, make sure you are aware.

8.6/10 Excellent! (409 reviews)
Beautiful view from kitchen but everything else was awful. Never been so hot in a dorm. Why air conditioning in the whole hostel but not the rooms? No towel included. And one of the 2 fridges was out so groceries stuffed in one fridge. Super expensive.
