Bunker bed have space for small cabin size luggage otherwise you have to pay 15 euro for 24 hours for luggage box.
location is good
There's a safe in the dorm room, but you'll need to bring your own padlock. The bathroom features separate shower and toilet areas, which is great as it doesn't disturb others. However, the toilet cubicle itself is quite small. Besides the in-room facilities, each floor also has additional toilets and shower rooms.
I stayed on the 5th floor. The room had great natural light and was very quiet at night. My roommates were all very nice. The only minor drawback was the absence of bed curtains.
