Room types

Surf House Sanvi offers three types of beds in shared dormitories. The options include a mixed six-bed room and two four-bed options; each bed is for one person. Depending on the layout, you’ll find either a bunk bed or a single bed. This variety lets you choose between different types of dormitory, with no private rooms among the categories described.

The clearest difference between the options is the bathroom: the mixed six-bed dormitory has a private bathroom with a shower and hairdryer, while the two four-bed options have a shared bathroom. One of the latter has a single bed and the other a bunk bed. The shared dormitory descriptions also mention a hairdryer. No floor area is listed for these options; the choice comes down to the bed layout and whether the bathroom is private or shared.
