Liked: Staff were very friendly and helpful, location is excellent.

Disliked: On the upper floor, it isn't well soundproofed and could hear people in the other rooms and bathroom. It wasn't made clear that you need to bring your own towels and bedding, a sheet like thing may be rented.

Liked: Near the train station, nice place to stay in.

Disliked: We arrived at night, the receptionist or security was kind of drunk, the room where I stayed at, had the beds next to other, that means all together as a huge bed, thankfully I was only with my friend, otherwise, would be kind of awkward to sleep exactly next to other guys in the same huge bed.

Liked: Location was awesome, just behind train station. Clean place, friendly staff- very helpful in finding things, everything was good. Probably cheapest way to spend some time in the area (great value!). Walk down towards the lake and there is plenty of things to do/see nearby.

Disliked: 10:00pm curfew, where they close the common area. Sux if u have things to do online, or want to go out, etc. So everyone in the dorms sleep 11-12midnight roughly, and if u come back later, you will end up disturbing ppl, which can be problematic for some. Would be nice to be not treated like kindergarten kids and have lobby to use 24 hr. =P
