Good friendly atmosphere and great events each night. Cheap alcohol and good variety. Breakfast each morning was great and free BBQ was also great. However, thick mould on my bed frame and the bedroom curtain was covered in mould on the inside. Room smelt damp, however they tried to help this by putting air fresheners in the room that did help to a certain extent. Kitchen was tiny and only three top oven stoves between 150+ people so makes meal times hectic.

Very cramped rooms. Not enough space in the kitchen for storing food or cooking. The bathrooms were dirty. Would not recommend.
