Did you know
The building was originally a police section house; its 2014 refurbishment kept exposed brick and steel and added the parked red double-decker bus that sits on the dance floor of the bar.
Local tip
The bar and social events (pub crawls, quiz nights) are the main draw here rather than the dorms themselves, worth it if you want a lively, sociable stay.
