Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: The location. Easy access to transport, lots of cafes, clubs and restaurants around.
Negative: Felt like I was in Squid Games, needed to get through a labyrinth to get to the common areas, even though there was a door to access it via the ground floor, but was locked closed for some reason. And just onr bathroom in the door for 10. It was a huge bathroom but with just a single shower. Waste of space, very inconvenient in the morning with 10 people wanting to use it.
Summary: Good location, terrible design of 10 bed dorm
