Stayed in the 4-bed female only dorm. I loved it! The top bunk is very cosy and spacious and you get privacy without their being curtains. Bathroom was big, nice and clean. Big locks in the door which was great. The convent itself is very beutiful and Albert unique experience living next to/same building as the nuns. Great location. Only downside is that you have to return your key when you exit the building, I much more would have preferred to have the key on me instead.
