Verified traveller

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Great but please give us male dorms
Really love this place. Fantastic lively youthful atmosphere and always really easy to meet people and make friends. My one complaint is that there are no male dorms offered, so I had to book a private room at 4x the cost. Please consider adding male dorms! It's a huge building... you must have the space! It's not fair that women are guaranteed their own space but if you're a man and feel more comfortable sleeping in a same sex space then it's up to chance... This is what makes the property 4 stars instead of 5. It's nearly perfect otherwise.

Dissapointing
Rooms were tiny, toilets dirty. They charge you to leave your luggage if you arrive early or want to store it at the hotel for a few hours before you leave.
