Great for the location. Tidy and comfortable rooms with big lockers. Great green tea! Very social environment so great if you want to meet people and party. common are is dominated by drinking games and card games on the party nights so if you want to get in on that it's the place for you. Staff were all helpful with my requests.
the downside is the internet's patchy and its strictly forbidden to have non-guests come in have a chat or drink in the common area which I understand but I felt uncomfortable seeing people being told off angrily for coming in to talk with friends.
