No wifi in room 1. I was put in a room in the basement (room 1) and the windows were directly on street level so the noise from outside was terrible. Also because the room was in the basement, whenever someone was going up and down the stairs we could hear the heavy steps.

the gents in my dorm room were a little rude with phone scrolling noise and turning on the overhead light without considering others trying to sleep. the facility is fairly clean, though they could pay closer attention to WC’s getting disgusting. i was happy that this location offered storage lockers for my heavy £2-3 after checkout for the day.
