The accomodation was pretty ok. The dorm looked well and the beds were nice. However, one guest that is apperently staying longterm, ruined my complete night. Clearly under influence he touched me while I was sleeping. He was very loud in his sleep and caused me nightmares. Apparently he had been staying there for a long time what I think is unacceptable. I am a female solo traveller and never had a bad experiences before. I was scared in this dorm. If you’re a backpacker/hostel and you want to create a good experience for travellers, you should not host an alcoholic.
