If you can get it for cheap, then it's all right.

Got a good deal on the Pig. It was in a decent location and I was able to get around the city with ease. It was a little grubby, tho. Simply painting the walls would be a big improvement for the place. No elevator and lots of steps. Gotta go downstairs to then go upstairs to get outside. Again, if you can get it for a cheap price and don't have too high of standards, then you'll be fine.

I stayed in the female dorm which had its own bathroom, so was very safe and secure. The bunk bed was comfortable and had a lockable drawer for keeping valuables, (was a little squeaky for leaving early in the mornings though). There are a few stairs to get in and up to rooms, so good if you are carrying light luggage or if you dont mind there are no lifts.
