The beds are comfortable, the rooms are clean, and the rooms stay pretty quiet. There are also small lockers available where you can put your valuables.

Private Rooms

If you want a little more space to yourself, you can choose a twin or double private room. These rooms are a lot like basic hotel rooms. You can also choose between rooms with shared or attached bathrooms. If you're in a hurry to get at in the morning, it can be worth getting a room with an en-suite as you won't have to wait for the shower.

Bathrooms

The bathrooms are clean and reliable. There are two bathrooms per floor, which can be a bit annoying in the morning when things get crowded, but if you shower at other times there won't be a problem.
