“The location is a genuine asset, putting you within easy reach of major attractions and transport links, plus a vibrant food scene right outside; staff are helpful. Bunks are compact, and there are some mentions of bathroom upkeep, but the overall value for money stands out. It's a solid base for exploring the city.”
