In my room it was full of antz, I got a bite from a bedbug or something and still untill this day I have a mark on it on my foot. I only liked the breakfast. Laundry service i gave a big plastic bag and when I got the clothes back they give it back in a bag that wasnt mine, my bag was gone. Most of the time there is nobody at the reception. I wish I had stayed somewhere else also nobody to pick me up at the airport even though I notified them months in advance and they confirmed to me, It cost me a telephone call on a foreign simcard just because they didnt keep their promise
Breakfast only

Some of the kitchen staff are not very helpful, maybe because of the language barrier but I do hope they try to improve this.
I liked it that they have options for the breakfast inclusion, not just one type of meal every morning. Also, the dorm room beds are very comfortable, i would love to just sleep in during the day. I had a hard time getting up for breakfast and sightseeing because they were too nice to sleep on.
