Booked a private room for our stay. I was traveling with a friend and the double bed was big and foamy enough that we didn't wake each other up in the night. Private bathroom was really nice, as was our private patio. The kitchen is sufficient, and there's a nice clothesline to dry laundry on. One of the downstairs dorms faces the street and would be best for heavy sleepers. Check in was super easy at the office next door.

Great experience, accommodating staff, spacious kitchen, hassle free. We stayed in a twin private double room, and the shower was always hot, the rooms was clean and had more than enough space for the two of us. Saw a few dodgy reviews but can assure you that for the price you pay you will be happily surprised. 10/10 would stay again.
