We booked two rooms by phone and then we were informed that only one room had bathroom inside. So we booked this room and another, without private bathroom. When we got there, they gave us two rooms without bathroom, saying they gave the other room to someone else.
Anyways, we decided to check on the place and left completely horrified. Definitely it was the most disgusting place we have been to. It’s an old building with dirty, humid and moldy walls.
Don’t believe the pictures on the website: they show modern splits, but on both rooms the air conditioner was an example of the first ever designed. And yet you can’t turn them on and off when you wish: they have schedules to turn them on, maybe because they don't want you to get killed on the eletric wires showing on the room's walls.
On the time we got there, it was a hot December night and yet the temperature there was higher than outside, the air was smelling like someone had sprayed a whole tube of those deodorizing scented products (probably to disguise the “natural” nasty smell of the place), humid like a warm house, completely claustrophobic.
We left in five minutes and asked our money back. We don’t know how the dorms are, but judging from these private rooms we got, we wouldn’t recommend it to our worst enemy.
