I rented a private room for myself. This meant I had four bunk beds and an en-suite to myself for £40. It was very clean and actually quite quiet and the check-in was super easy and friendly. A much better deal than similarly priced hotels I think. Thanks!

Property was clean and as expected. Check-in time at 5pm is a couple of hours later than other accommodations. Earlier check-in would be more preferable.
