"Rented a room with a bunk bed. Upon arrival, the sheets were dirty and half ripped off their mattress. There were also hairs in the shower. The beds were not sturdy at all, only a little turn and the whole structure shook. The air circulation was non existent, our towels (one per person might I add), stayed damp all 4 days. We tried to rent a hairdryer to help with the towels, but they were all out the first two days (only 20 available for the whole building). Even though the price is cheaper, I...

"Staff were helpful and explained everything in arrival. Clear direction as to where the room was. You get given a towel at reception if you need one, you can pick up shower gel and shampoo and you can help yourself to tea and coffee in the reception area, ni brewing facilities in the room. The room itself was very clean with the basics you need, desk, wardrobe and some shelves if you're staying longer than a night. Bathroom was very clean and shower was decent. Overall a very good stay."
