Good if you’re looking for...

Liked: Location couldn’t really be much better, close to shops, food and bars. Price was reasonable and staff were friendly.
Disliked: Very outdated and looked dirty in a lot of areas. Windows in the bedroom couldn’t be closed properly, which made it cold at night. Walls were thin and we could hear everyone in the dorms, other rooms and corridors at night.
