8.5 Very good
Pros:My bed was super comfortable and the showering and toilet facilities were great, no waiting time, clean. I stayed in a dorm where there were four girls and one plug socket. Extension cable needed! I recommend staying in the top floor of the dorms as the floorboards are noisy. didn't bother me but woke others up. Wifi is temperamental so if you are a person who is addicted to their phones you may experience some stress. Is very basic but clean, tidy, safe and welcoming. I would recommend.
Cons:Not enough plug sockets in rooms and floor boards are noisy. also have to any for wifi which is unreliable. I didn't bother buying it again during my stay
