“The eight-bed dorm bunks were impossibly tight – no room at all. I kept hitting my head and the lack of privacy curtains was awkward. Also frustrating that my locker was taken by someone else.”

8.8Verified guest

“This was my base during Carnival week and it was perfect. Spacious lounges made it easy to relax and meet people. I appreciated the comfy bed, AC at night, and secure lockers just outside the room. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the neighborhood felt safe and quiet. Special thanks to Eduardo and Wai for their warmth.”
