First-pass take

Budget hostel operator with growing 20-property portfolio across UK/Europe, 10% bed night growth and improving occupancy (75.2%), but zero AI exposure. Pricing pressure (ABR down 10%) constrains EBITDA margins (28%, down from 30%). Moderate-high leverage (59% gearing), tight cash (£1.4m). Fundamentally cyclical discretionary hospitality with capex-heavy growth model.
