We stayed in a triple room with bunk beds. The room was small, but the toilet was big (I don't know why). There were wheelchair handrails in the toilet. The light in the toilet would go out by itself after a while. The flushing toilet was also a bit out of order, and the water often flowed by itself. The shower was right next to the toilet, and there was no distinction between dry and wet. The whole toilet was wet after taking a shower. There were no floor towels or other towels, so it was very wet, which was not very convenient for taking a shower. There was an oil heater in the room. There was a bar downstairs, but it was not too noisy with the windows closed (it might also be because it rained for the two nights we stayed there and no one patronized it). However, because it was a youth hostel, there were many young people. One night, there was a loud bang on the floor upstairs, which woke us up from sleep. The overall stay experience was not very good, but it was indeed cheaper than ordinary hotels. By the way, it seemed that the distance from the train station to the youth hostel was not far, but it was actually quite tiring to carry luggage up and down the stairs.

The room is clean and carefully decorated. There are curtains around it to respect people's privacy. I remember that in Italy, no matter what the conditions were, the sign hanging on the door would boldly say four or five stars, but this hotel only says one star. It is seriously unworthy of the name. Absolutely above three-star standard, the waiters are also very attentive and gentlemanly. I stayed here for three days and am still not satisfied.
