free luggage storage after checkout. Departing guests are welcome to use the
kitchen and lounge facilities for the day.

at BIG are a selection of mixed male-only and female-only 8, 6, 4, 2 share dormitories,
plus a large range of private rooms (singles, twins, doubles and 4 person family rooms), most with private bathrooms. The building is fully
air-conditioned throughout and each floor is serviced by both an elevator and
stairs. We take security seriously so the hostel is only accessible by key
