Is the new BH5 in IIIT Allahabad really better in terms mess and other places?

My cousin joined IIIT Allahabad in 2018 and the boy’s hostel has been an average experience for him. He has double sharing spaces at BH5 and the basic furniture and equipment setup like chairs, tables, internet, 2 cupboards, fans, etc are already available. There is no AC, coolers are allowed but BH5 doesn't have any balcony too. 

Below are some factors about the hostel that you may like to know.

Mess:

• The mess at BH5 is spacious and serves better food as compared to messes at other boys’ hostels. It offers a vast variety of cuisine, however, the taste is average and sometimes quite bad.
• For breakfast, you'd get Bread-Butter or Jam, Egg/ or Fruit and Milk, and a main dish based on the menu of the day.
• Dinner is given with a sweet dish each night and non-veg is available once a week on Sunday.
• The canteen is another option if you do not prefer the food from the mess. The night canteen is open late at night and has the basic veg and nonveg snacks available for munching like chips, cold drinks, coffee, etc. along with popular Indian dishes as well. You can order food from outside too.
• There is an air conditioning facility available at other hostels but here, it has not been and there are plans being made to install it soon.

The mess menu is decided by the committee and you get to eat whatever is available for the day- good or bad.

Internet:

• As for the internet, it is available now but wasn't when my cousin took admission, because the hostel was recently built and LAN wasn't available. 
• You will find WiFi routers installed at different spots of the campus to cope with its deficit in the hostel spaces at times. 
• Reliance's Jio is being used although good internet speed is available in the computer lab only.

They have two vast common halls for recreational activities and there are four washrooms on each floor. They are cleaned each morning. Sometimes you'd have to wait for your turn at bathing but it's manageable. There's a hostel lawn for physical activities.
