No refunds is practically theft. We paid and received nothing. Phone call was ridiculous also, no conversation, no reasons, do they even speak English here? Infuriating experience.

I liked the price but you get what you pay for. The room was cold, damp and draughty. I would not sleep on the top bunks as they were unstable. Heating was inadequate on 30 minute timers and only one shower and toilet per three rooms or up to a dozen people. Alright if you are young and healthy.

Good low-budget accommodation. It would have been better if there was some non-see through glass in the upstairs bathroom. And if the reception was available for longer hours.
