Plenty of food and drink in the immediate vicinity. Large study bunk beds in each room with two toilet/shower in each dorm. Large lockers (bring your own lock). Close enough to the rail line.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The dorm - bunk beds have one ladder to get to the top bunks - this is difficult and hard to use - although it is aesthetically pleasing, it is not practical. WC in room is ok Walls are very thin - outdoor in the corridors had constant people talking loud and it was not a pleasant experience. The rooftop bar online states opening hours, however I went at 9.45pm and was told they were closing. Although I understand this could be a one off, this discredits the hotels amenities.

This is not a place family can stay. May be young lay back style dues would be ok, but definitely not family preference. I hear silence whole night, curtains are not blocking city lights. Window are 100 plus year looks, can hear street people talking outside. Total digester. I literally couldn’t sleep through out the night . Please stay away from it unless you are backpacking traveler saving dimes
