This student residence has serious hygiene issues with multiple reports of dirty sheets, hair in beds, insects, and broken bathroom facilities. The location next to pubs creates noise problems until 3am. While some guests found it acceptable for the budget price, the recurring cleanliness and maintenance problems make it unsuitable for most travelers.
