The best rooms are the private with shared bathrooms. The view is great from this room. And the bathroom was always well kept. There is lack of internet in the fully private rooms, etc.

Hostel stay
My friends and I stayed in a room with a queen bed and a single bed with a shared bathroom. The room was great! However, there were aunts EVERYWHERE on the wall next to the single bed. I was so thrown off by them and they were in the sheets as well.
