Okay. ”

Rooms are not sound proof. No separate bathrooms for ladies/gents. Provided water dispenser but no cold water. The walls between rooms are literally plywood. My room was ground floor. You can hear foot steps from upstairs if the guests walk like a giant. This is not the hostel’s fault but maybe need to remind guests to walk quietly if they stay upstairs. Some guests have no common sense and need to be reminded every time.
