Okay for one night

The decor is garish and the rooms have the same vibe as a hospital room. We stayed in a twin room with shared bathroom. It was okay because we only arrived around 10pm and left at 8:30am, and we went out for over an hour looking for the northern lights. I would not stay any longer to be honest. The sheets used on the bed and pillow are a harsh texture which is a bit uncomfortable. There was a strange graffiti style wall art of naked women on the wall. There were two toilet cubicles in the shared bathroom, plus a toilet/shower combo. Think one toilet was out of service. Toilets were relatively clean. Definitely bring flip flops/sliders/etc if you’re staying here. There is a small free car park, which is something we were looking for in a booking. You are sent an access code about an hour before check-in opens. You use one code to enter the hostel from outside and one to enter your room. I did not see a single staff member anywhere.
Twin room with shared bathroom. There is a sink in the room.

The room was great overall. It is spacious and clean. Kitchen is fine. It have all the essential and oven, however, there is not enough dinning space. The place always got crowed during dinner time. The lounge kept closed until my last day. Some hair dryer also not working.
