Rooms and Bathrooms
The rooms are spacious and clean and every person has a large locker under the beds. The beds are comfortable and modern and spread apart, so there's plenty of floor space. The rooms face into the main courtyard and so there is noise coming in at night through the thin walls.
The bathrooms are clean and have good facilities. The bathrooms in the room are split into two with the toilet in one room and the shower in the other. This split is convenient in the larger dorms where it cuts waiting time. The shower is hit and miss with warm water and has plenty of space in which to get changed.
