Just stayed for one night which was ok. You have to make and strip the bed when you check in/check out and no towels provided. I was in the female dorm which smelt like feet. The top bunks are unusually high. The bathroom set up is shared mens/women’s toilets and showers. Overall not a lot of privacy and not super clean. Wouldn’t stay here for more than a night. Close to the railway station and good public transport links
