We had to ask twice to get a working heater in our room. The walls are so thin I could hear the entire 1 am converation of the folks next door. The army of people cleaning the hostel couldn't answer basic questions. There was no hot water in the morning - contrary to the managers promise it did not warm up afer twenty minutes. I didn't warm up at all.
