Only two very small shower cubical’s available.I'm not a big person but anyone slightly portly would have great difficulties. Staff totally disinterested. In fact vacant is a word that springs to mind to describe them.

Nice place for solo 1 day stay
It is clean, quiet, comfortable, in the city, close to coach and bus to the airport. A bit expensive for a 8-bed share room.

Met interesting people and made new friends
Good value for money
Near to nightlife areas
Need improvements:
1. Cleanliness of Toilets
2. Some guests could be rude, lack proper behavior
