Excellent value, especially as breakfast was included. Really nice room (private bathroom for us, window onto central “courtyard”, quiet [might be due to January occupancy]) and good facilities (kitchen, bar, cafe) on the ground floor. Staff were friendly and helpful.

The kitchen area was poor. 2 microwaves, 1 kettle and a air fryer. Difficult to cook yourself a meal. Would be nice if there was a quiet area to watch tv. Beds super comfortable. Large lockers. Dorm areas verybquiet. Would be nice if beds had privacy curtains. Easy check in. Located close to public transport

Shared bathroom booking was good in terms of being cheaper, and it was cleaned by the staff daily, but of course if other guests leave it in a poor state that makes it less pleasant to use, which unfortunately was the case. Hotel staff were very helpful and pleasant.
