Sharing a mixed room with ten beds had me a little trepidatious, but the room was never full, the entire place was totally mellow and clean (a surprise for me since it was mostly younger people), and between comfiness, a kitchen open 07:00 to 23:00, and a common space for reading or whatever, it was way better than I was thinking it would be. Only downside for me was breakfast - lots of sugary stuff, not much in the way of protein. If they don’t want to have a lot of cooking to clean up, yogurt and fruit would be a nice variety with the cold cereals, jam and toast, and prepackaged muffins.
