I was pleasantly surprised with my experience! I was in the all female dorm and I was very happy. It was within walking distance to everything- or the bus stop is right around the corner if you would rather take transit. The staff were very friendly and helpful as well!

Great facility with a reasonable walk into town
I stayed for ten days though most people seemed to stay for two or three days. I chose the female only dorm which had 20 beds. It was very quiet at all times, day, evening, night. Most people were young, just one or two “old” people. The beds are extremely private with a fully enclosed curtain, light, one power outlet (bring a power strip/extender), and a towel rod. Most people hung their towel in the shared hanger section or off the bed rail. There were two showers and three toilets which worked just fine. Everything was very clean. It’s right next to the zoo, a tram, and several restaurants. It’s a pleasant 20 minute walk into town. I would absolutely stay here again.
