If you are expecting a hotel, this isn’t it. This was a bizarre place but weirdly had everything you need for a comfortable night sleep. I read the reviews and expected something like this. The lady at reception was super lovely, that’s the only staff I saw on my one-night stay. It used to be a nunnery and feels like a nursing home with wide hallways, bumpers and gurney elevators. I had a room with a full bathroom and it was basic and clean, very hospital-like. Only basic soap provided so being all toiletries and hair dryer. Old furniture, TV the size of a computer screen, only one plug in the room under the night table. Mattress was clean and the carpet was brand new. I wouldn’t suggest using the old closet or built-in drawers. There is a communal kitchen and dining area which was great to heat up my dinner. Very quiet, eerie. I didn’t like that there’s no lock on the door at all, it just locks automatically when you close it. I think some people live there. The “front entrance” is actually around the back and the parking is actually at the front where the parking is. Just go left when you enter the driveway, follow the signs and then enter the building where there is a Welcome awning. Saves driving back around, leads to the same lobby which feels like a commercial office or medical building. Overall, it was fine for a cheap price. Just don’t expect much. 5 min drive over to the university. I’d probably stay again if I’m going to the university since it’s so close.

Excellent hostel. If you don't mind sharing a bathroom this is a great place to stay. If you dont want to share a bathroom they do have rooms with them fir more $. Ive done both here and will likely save the money and share the bathrooms in the future - all impeccably clean!

The building is old and unkept. To get to the reception you have to go up a service elevator which is filthy. The room was also in bad condition. The carpet was not clean, there was a brown liquid splashed all over the wall, and the storage cupboard smells very strongly of fish. The bathroom toilets to not have lids, they are like the ones you would find at the mall. The shower head is broken so that the water pressure was poor and spraying all over. No shampoo or any other necessities are available. The bed was clean but old. The walls are also paper thin. My last concern is that the door to the room is auto locking, so there is no way to physically lock it from the inside. I found this concerning as a solo traveller. There is a kitchen on site and fridges that are for communal use. It’s very reminiscent of a hostel. However, there seem to be many long term residents that are not keen to have you near there things.
