Decent but will try elsewhere next time

Booked a room with fewer than 18 beds but was given a bed in an 18 person room. Toilet was pretty gross, dormitory room had a funky stale smell, but showers were clean and available, staff was good, location convenient.

Enjoyed my stay. Booked a pod bed, felt super private and cozy. Well lit inside and outlet was right there. Staff friendly and helpful. Towel rental not expensive. Locker big enough for small carryon and bag. Quick walk to train, bus stop right in front. Probably got lucky with other guests in the shared room - everyone was quiet and respectful. Only issue was substandard wifi. Would book again.
