En suite. Great kitchen. Bit steep price wise for a YH. Kids travelling in their 20s can’t affford. Your inflated prices. You are supposed to be targeting the young!
Prices for under 30s

It was very clean. Good size kitchen, lounge area and had good books.
Very basic room and far from the bathroom without a choice to have a private bathroom unless you’re a couple/queen size bed. Parking lot was full. Location far from town - not walkable.
