William, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

I stayed in the newer building do everything was very new and updated but that meant if i needed to speak to staff about anything, use the laundry or hang in the chill out room i had to walk across the street. Not much head space in the bunkbeds but they were stable. Lockers in room were convenient. Both dryers broken when i tried to do laundry. Easy walking distance from train and royal mile.
