    The kitchen had everything including free tea and coco. The living room area was nice and comfortable, with enough seating areas, blankets and books and games. The staff was friendly and the overall ambience was cozy.

    Room was spacious with bunk beds, there was a clean kitchen and study lounge for us to use. They have a small cosy bar and a cinema with daily events so it felt like a student hostel really. It was surely a value for money!

    Short walk from train station. Very close to the centre. All the shared areas were very clean. Complimentary tea and coffee were nice.
