Cleanliness could be better. Especially the beds need to be made after someone leaves. I just felt that was a bit untidy. But toilets were clean and so were the showers.

Bathroom floors were a bit wet at times but that's kinda to be expected with hostels. I suppose they could have more regular intervals of mopping.
