“I noticed it's a bit of a walk from the station, but for the price, it seems worth it, especially if you're traveling solo and want to mingle; the common areas appear lively at night. Some rooms might feel cramped, and the cleanliness of the communal kitchen is questionable, but the staff is reportedly helpful, and the sleeping areas are cleverly designed. It's a social spot with a few trade-offs.”
