Had lots of activities and good for meeting people at the bar scene and common areas. Accommodation itself was super basic and old. Had private room that was extremely small and expensive. Location was great with lots within walking distance, but was kind of a dodgy area.

Central train station across is nice. Staff are awesome. Clean facilites. Quiet place other than people coming in and out of the room makes for a lot of click and door slams. No outside noise and no partying. Ear plugs help with all the coming and going. I realize it is a dorm. Bathroom is clean.
