What to expect: A big tent that functions like a dormitory. Imagine 600 sq.m. full of backpackers

How much: Floor in accommodations cost 7.50Euro per person, includes blanket and sleeping bags. For those who would rather lie in beds, it costs 10.50Euros, including blanket.

Facitilies available: toilet & bath, washing machine & dryers, lockers (bring your own lock), internet terminals and a cafeteria.
