The rooms are as basic as can be. A bed. A towel. Shelving. One plug.
No TV. No aircon. No flyscreen.
A shared kitchen and dining area is a big positive.
It’s good basic accommodation.
I loved the shower and how they supplied soap and shampoo! The bed was very comfortable, they were very kind to offer a fan for the room.
For the price it was amazing 😊😊😊
Loved the kitchen area also.

Dorm style rooms. I purchased comfortable double. Had 2 beds in a room with 1 small dresser and clothes rack.
Very old building, squeekly floorboards toilets and shower down hallways.
Showers were in beds toilet block. Not good.
Very simple, clean. But backpacker/ dorm style at best. No tv room but is a kitchen/sitting room.
Need to walk up 2 stories so be aware of mobility issues don't stay here.
