Lacking in any atmosphere, nowhere to sit outside, the kind of common space inside is pretty dirty. Rooms are super super cold. Not really much storage space. Very very loud and can hear the other rooms.

I booked the four bed room with private bathroom, and it was exactly what I needed. Decided to stay here because of diving and it was quiet for the most part which I appreciated. Not incredibly social but I did meet some people that were staying in the larger rooms and they seemed to have a more social experience, so ymmv. Overall though it was a good spot for diving and there are a good amount of restaurants around, plus laundry and 7/11 literally around the corner.
