Summary: It was easy to check-in and out. Each dorm had unique codes. The beds have black wall covers, a light, shelf, and 2 plug-in sockets. You also get a locker. The showers are in one room, but all divided. There is a fridge/freezer and microwave. Food gets crowded. It's clean and functional. In nice area and very close to grocery stores and transport.
