4.4/5 Excellent! (162 reviews)
Great stay. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Common space and dorm rooms were clean. Kitchen available if you prefer to cook your own food. Cost efficient stay but maybe you might want to bring your own pillow if you have a sensitive neck/back. I would stay here again!
