Liked: The kitchen was well-equipped, and the recreational room's atmosphere was wonderful. The staff was very friendly, and even though the rooms were'nt very big and were a bit noisy at times I felt as if I had some privacy. Getting there was very easy - even easier than the description on the site. We also found the luggage room useful.

Disliked: The walls are basically plywood; when new people checked in they were'nt always told just how good the acoustics were. The toilets weren't all that many, and the place had a sort of old smell to it - not all in a bad way. The showers were uneven, either very hot or quite cold. If you choose to cook yourself, remember to bring some spices.
