This is the most comfortable bunk bed room and facilities in the UK. Last time I stayed in two different hostels, but there was no window. This room has a large window and good ventilation; the space between bunk beds is large enough, and the most cleanest toilets and spacious showeroom.
No nothing

The staff were really lovely, so helpful in ways I was not expecting, and the hostel was overall very nice to stay in. My stay was 3.5 weeks long!

Close to town. Clean and tidy. Good kitchen facilities. Cozy bed.
The shower was dangerously hot or freezing cold even on the setting they recommended. Could do with more seating.

Location was great. Cleanliness is good.
They pack the 3 level bunks into the room. There's maybe a meter of space between the mattress and the roof and if there is someone snoring or making noise in the night/morning, it feels like it's right next to your face, which it probably is.
