Bowden Court - Hostel

Some tips after a 2 month summer stay by a digital nomad: * Bring your own towel & toiletries -- I also bought a fitted bottom sheet when the provided flat sheet didn't work well * Brekkies are boiled eggs, cereal, bread and fruit * Dinners/lunches have veg & non-veg options, spicy & non-spicy options, with lots of Indian spices, lots of starches, but not much produce (broccoli, green beans, bell peppers, etc) * Many residents bring a food container for takeaway meals, or to get a second portion during the last 5 minutes of meal service * Weekly room cleaning, bi-weekly linen change * Staff are stellar & always ready to help * 2/3 of residents are under 25, 1/3 are 40-70 * You can work or study in the large dining room or the small study room 24/7 * Don't bother installing the laundry app (Circuit Go) because you can pay with a card (same price, much easier, no problems) There is heating but no AC: * Rooms x01-x08 and x23-x34 face the street and get the most sun -- during the summer these rooms get very warm and never cool down * Rooms x09-x22 face the courtyard, get the least sun and stay cooler during the summer * See attached floorplan for more info
