Liked: There was nothing we were in want for while staying here. They have everything you could need an more! Converters, fridges, a fun common space, free umbrellas! The really nice guy at the front desk even helped us order a pizza one night. Overall a fantastic trip!

Disliked: Well, I kept forgetting my card in the room, but that's my fault not theirs. :)

Liked: We stayed in a twin room and it was very comfortable, quiet and clean. The breakfast in the morning was such good value and kept us going all the way until dinner time. The lounge is a very comfortable, communal place to hang out. The kitchen is excellent. We loved our stay here! Everyone was so friendly, awesome!

Liked: The common area was quite neat and surprising.

Disliked: For private accomodations, there weren't any private bathrooms or fridge, this was not so convenient for us. And we had to wait for quite a long time in order to take a bath or use the sink. The private rooms were a bit small as well. Only a bed and a tv.

Liked: everything. The bar downstairs is a good place to meet people and has a great environment. It's not too far from the centre of town and the staff were wonderful. I was not so keen on the mixed dorm rooms, as i had a group of men arrive at midnight for check in and woke me up.

Liked: There was an adjacent bar/cafe. The bathrooms were spotless. You can borrow board games. There are computers for internet (though you must pay). There's a kitchen on the second floor. Staff were nice and helpful.

Disliked: Tiny dorm-style rooms. Everything about the place I loved except how tiny and depressing the room was. I would hesitate to return here for that reason alone.

Liked: spacious rooms with lockers under the bed. Great common room and kitchen, knowledgeable staff and bar downstairs. Really good place to meet people.

Disliked: Only one small fault was that we changed rooms and our sheets weren't changed as we checked in early and the cleaner didn't realise we were new guests.
