This place was a really nice, small, inexpensive, public/private location. Our room was very small and did not have an adjoined bathroom, which we had to access via the hallways; however, there are plenty of private, though also small, bathrooms with showers. I imagine the other rooms don't have adjoining bathrooms, seeing as this is a hostel. If you need space, quietness after 10pm, and privacy, then you might not enjoy staying here. NOW, for THOSE of us who adapt and thrive in all spaces, among all decibals, and surrounded by community, then you will really like this spot. I took an impromptu mother-daughter trip with my 9-year old, and we had a blast. We even played pool in the rec room. Everyone was super nice, which is a big deal because kids are not always enjoyed by others. I would come back again, definitey...just not with friends who are, to say it nicely, picky, about their accomodations.
