Claustro triple bunk bed

It was fine but those triple bunk beds are claustrophobic and I would hit my head often. It was also difficult getting out without hitting my back off the roof of my bunk. Staff were lovely
Amanda, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Definitely more of a hostel than a hotel. Clean, and the blackout curtains were effective, but it would benefit from a refresh. It’s a little Tartt round the edges
Kay, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

This was a hostel priced like a luxury hotel. The balcony door was broken and there was no ventilation in the washroom. We had to ask for a fan. Everything cost extra, in-spite of the price we paid to stay. Also the noise from the bar downstairs carried on well into the night.
