Some rooms lack windows or have limited ventilation, and bunk beds may not include ladders - guests with mobility concerns or a preference for lower bunks should request this at booking. The property is cleaned daily, but individual room cleanliness can vary. Earplugs are recommended for light sleepers due to potential street noise and internal sounds.
