Bottom bunk next to window, no curtain in window, no curtain at foot of bed (which is where the door was). So I had to string up clothing and towels for a modicum of privacy while I slept. Got out of the room as quick as I could. If I were 19, maybe, but not as an adult.

If you book with anitcipation and having a big group who dont mind sleeping in a same room then its a very cheap. Otherwise stay away. You get what you pay for. Its not clean at all.
