For the price it's okay but not so clean and they only have 3 showers for all women. The location is great!
I'd say for two or three nights it's perfect but not for any longer

Staff are great. Helpful and friendly. Free breakfast was a nice touch. Only thing that I didn't like was no plugs up at top bunks. There was extension leads but the one near my bed was across the room to the bottom bunk. I didn't feel ok to just move it and never got to see the guy who had it. Apart from that it was a good stay.

Nice place, lovely staff
The place is clean, beds are comfy enough and staff are friendly and helpful. The only downside was the limited number of showers and sinks in ladies shower room.

The location is good.
The staff is nice and helpful.
The breakfast is lovely, the kitchen is good. The public place is good.
But the room is a little bit too crowded for 10 people, i think that room is maximum for 8 people only.
Only small locker in the room, so everyone can only put their luggage on the floor and make it more crowed.
Only one power bar share between 4 bed on the floor. it is hard for the upper bed traveler to charge their phone.
