"Good"

Location was great, good for value. Had the whole room of bunk beds to ourself which was great.

The kitchen was very old and one of the stoves didn't work. Even the furniture in the room was worn out, would be nice to have cleaner furniture. Even though I booked the room with my bank card, they wanted me to pay upfront rather than automatic direct debit. That was inconvenient because it was not working for some reason. The staff was not very pleasant to talk to, but overall I had a great time due to the location.
