“The dorm beds are so wide and comfy – like sleeping on a cloud. That's saying a lot given I've slept on lumpier mattresses than a hibernating grizzly bear.”

“Super friendly staff, perfect central location, and delicious local breakfast options make this a top choice. The cozy leisure room and TV area were great for unwinding. The only downside was no credit card payments, so bring cash. Price is slightly high but worth it overall.”
