The staff was absolutely amazing. Rooms were clean, however, fans provided were full of dust. One thing I didn't like and know they don't provide shower gel or soap in shower room. Fans needed to be adjusted but it was a struggle since the adjustment didn't work and had to resort to creative ways.

Family of six - spent one night. Very clean, safe and quiet. Absolutely wonderful and extremely helpful staff, from the front desk to the kitchen workers. Flexible policies, allow you to store luggage for hours before and after checking in. Bus right across the street. This was a pleasant surprise!!!

Cheap, functional, clean.

Convenient and clean. Bunk beds are fine but mattresses a bit thin and if you’re tall a bar across the end is a pain. Other than that it’s a cheap functional room.

Would come back!

The stay was very nice! My friends and I spent 4 nights in a 6 bed room. Basic room and reception, but clean and well kept. Workers were kind and helpful. Beds were comfy and with a nice thick duvet. Windows could be opened and every bed had their own outlet and light. Two things that could be better is more large storage lockers and quieter bathroom fans. Overall a plesant stay, would come back!

The ensuite shower and toilet do have any shelves for toiletries. Imagine having 6 of us placing our toiletries on the floor whilst we shower. Likewise for the toilet where we have only the space around the sink for toothbrushes, toothpaste and what not.
