It is passable if all You want is a bunkbed. But other than This, The Property was pretty much lacking. Many common areas were dirty, for example, the tables and chairs in The Lobby. There was No Coffee available on Property or in surrounds until after 6am, which is problematic when You have 7am flights... Plus common areas are closed from 11pm - 6am. Not really a Property seeking to cater to a cosmopolitan or travelling crowd.

Excellent emplacement et rapport qualité-prix. Chaque lit a une prise et un casier. La gare centrale et la station de tramway est littéralement juste devant la porte, mais l’hébergement est sécurisé.

Pleasant stay

Efficient and friendly check in, room was quiet, clean, and modern. Bathrooms at time of use were clean, shower pressure could be more powerful, but not a dealbreaker, enjoyed my stay.

This is a fantastic 5 star backpackers to stay. Very convenient location next to Central Station, transport is everywhere you want it, walking distance to local shops and restaurants. Easy to check in and a nice waiting area to wait and relax if you are arrive to early. Rooftop pool and BBQ area was great, I stayed in a Queen Room and the bed was heaven, good size TV also. Noise didn't affect me, and I can't really fault the place at all. Would definitely stay here again
