My third stay here, and would stay again.
Pros:

I've been twice before. Was good being able to guarantee bottom bunk in mixed dorm for an extra £3 for the entire stay. Was near window, so got nice fresh air. Good that en suite toilets/showers were behind another door. More privacy!
Seemed to be free hot drinks from machine in reception.
Bed light and sockets.
I was able to rig up a privacy curtain using sarong and clothes pegs round my bottom bunk.

Cons:

Couldn't access cage locker under bottom bunk, as it was blocked by adjacent bunks.
Don't like background music in reception area. Mostly screeching women singers! And when one person had TV on in otherwise empty lounge area, I had to go to dorm for peace and quiet.
Couldn't completely turn off cold water tap in room 102 toilet. Mentioned to staff, but I'm not strong enough to completely turn it off. Waste of water.
Shower in room 102 drained slowly. Seemed to improve on day 3. I didn't have water running all the time I was using it.
Idiot room-mates playing TV on their phones without using headphones. People talking and beeping phones while others trying to sleep.
I wish I'd known about the microwave and hotplate thingy in reception area. A microwave cover would be a good idea to prevent splashes.
Hand dryer not working in ladies toilets behind bar.
