"6-person female dorm is a spacious room with a huge bathroom. Mine was on the 3rd floor facing a side alley and at night it was quiet. Can be a bit messy depending on roommates, but nice after cleaning. Every bed has blackout curtains, a power outlet, a lamp, a mini air conditioner and a code-opening safe (with two additional power outlets inside). Everyone also has a personal locker that opens with the key card.
There is a large public area to hang out (with a pool table, bar and a coffee shop), laundry rooms and a shared kitchen, which is pretty well-equipped: three fridges, three induction stoves, microwave, kettle, toaster and plenty of kitchenware. Once again, it is great right after cleaning, but quickly gets really dirty. Also, a warning: because the kitchen is so easily accessible, every evening there was a homeless man raiding fridges and just casually having dinner! The final downside is the wi-fi, which does exist but factually doesn't work (even in public spaces). Location is superb: the airport shuttle bus goes straight here."
