Dorm 18 is probably the best dorm in the hostel... top floor away from the noisy backpackers, only three bunk beds (due to the double bunk bed, so it still sleeps 8) and lots of windows, so it's lovely an bright and airy. Cool! My Dorm, Dorm 18 (for most of my stay in the Pink House). Currently sleeping on my usuall top bunk on the left. But i also spent a lot of time in the top double bunk on the right... and spent a few nights in the bottom left bunk and the middle top bunk... I get around :-) And that's just in this Dorm!
