I stayed only one night in a dormitory but could well imagine to stay much longer. That is one of the best hotels I've ever stayed.

Girls at the receptions are very nice and the check in is super easy. And i have to add that they accepted some package on behalf of my name and kept it at the reception until i arrived. Im really thankful for that. I really recommend it.
