Very conveniently located, with the downside that it was exceedingly noisy at night. Room (slept in a shared dorm) was quite warm, and the bathroom facilities did not smell amazing, although they appeared clean and well maintained. Staff were friendly and the building itself was quite nice, and I felt safe staying there.
