Not big but has surprisingly enough space as you can slide your bags under the bed and there are charging ports and closet space for each bunk bed. It has 2 showers and a bathroom. Coffee machine is outside but it’s a good wired machine with multiple options , grind and serve. 1000 percent better coffee than what you’d make in your room. 15 min walk to the V&A waterfront and close to airport.
