Great value for short stay

Dorm room living perfect for cheap short stay. Room had its own sink which was helpful. Bed was small but mostly comfortable. Extremely clean and very quiet. Only issue is a long walk up the hill if taking public transport.

Great price. Note that they only take bookings through Expedia, so you still have to pay in person. Great for our group of 4. Mirrors are inside the doors of the cabinet and no a/c but was fine with the fan and windows open. No breakfast or tea towels.

Staying for several nights is OK, but only for non-demanding visitors. It is more convenient for students:)
