Very practical modern design rooms in suit bathroom and toilets great lighting and power points installation safe and secure lovely comfortable common sitting and open air dining 3x kitchens decided into a big one area wonderfully made for all needs .. sadly not all microwaves were working.

The staff were super friendly and helpful during our checkin and answered any questions we had about the YHA. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. It was extremely hot but the fan in the room worked great and cooled the room down quickly.
