Not really deluxe room the 4 bed but it was a bed for couple night. A lot quieter than some of the other rooms though. Just lack of plugs in the room which makes no sense.

The room was very clean and the bed had a power outlet and was comfortable. There was a club right in front of the hostel and many people were using it at night. The club also quieted down at midnight so you could get plenty of sleep.
