Antler Vada Large Trolley Backpack

Advantages: Stylish, good range of features
Disadvantages: No 'piggy-back' connection

...I recently purchased a vanity bag from Oasis (fashion shop) and have found it really strong, stylish and useful, with excellent organiser capabilities. The bag is part of the Oasis luggage collection designed by Antler. At £30 the bag seems about average price, but was definitely the most stylish and had the most features. It fits in with the ethos of Oasis as being individual and fashionable. It is black and curved at the front, and is soft-sided but with a reinforced front. It is travel-bag sized, with two main sections. Each section includes organiser features, including: * mobile phone pocket * 3 bottle straps (for storing shampoo, etc) * key holder * A4 sized inside pocket * pen holders * other storage pockets It also comes with a shoulder strap and a padlock. For me the bag is excellent, as it forces me... Read review

Advantages: Lots Going On, Lots of Information Available
Disadvantages: Rooms too small / untidy, Too Big, Impersonal Atmosphere

...!) Bathrooms are very clean and tidy and well equipped. Each floor has a couple of rooms for each sex and I never had to queue for a shower. The kitchen is large and has good facilities (hobs, ovens, microwaves, fridges, freezers + extras). However, although large, it still gets very overcrowded in the evening and people rarely wash up after themselves so you may find yourself having to clean your dishes and utensils before you start which is annoying. There is also not enough space for storing food although each dorm has it's own fridge. The "Globe" bar located within the basement offers entertainment every night until the early hours of the morning. Regular party events take place such as themed evenings, "Miss / Mr Backpacker contests", quizzes etc. Drink is cheap and the atmosphere is relaxed. You'll often be given vouchers for the bar...
