Bunk beds are surprisingly low.
A number of guests staying in the hostel's dorm rooms find themselves bumping their heads on what they describe as surprisingly low bunk beds. Taller travellers might want to keep this in mind.

Electrical sockets draw ire of some.

to be a bone of contention for some guests. Reports suggest that there aren't
always enough plug sockets to go around, while some guests report that those
that are available aren't always conveniently placed.
