An easy walk from the train station. The kitchen was well equipped which includes a microwave and cooktop. The breakfast (an extra) was good.

Good facilities staff and location
missing so many basic things. Some of the bunk bed has no charging plug. Bed very dusty and made my allergy trigger. No ventilation apart from window but this made a lot of noise of crowds and shouting enter our dorms.. pillow was so small
