The receptionist was helpful, especially regarding parking. the shared spaces impressed me. They were spacious, clean, and cozy. i particularly loved the fully equipped shared kitchen, where we easily prepared our own meals.
i noticed the furniture is a bit old. i think some updates could add an extra touch of freshness to the overall aesthetic.

underwhelming stay
decent water pressurechemical smellminimal ventilation
the shower was acceptable with its decent water pressure.
The room smelled strongly of cleaning chemicals. I suspect they try cover something up with it. ventilation was minimal, and the odour lingered throughout my entire stay. honestly, i was looking forward to check out.

mixed feelings about this accommodation.
friendly staffdated roompaper cups
The staff was friendly. This made arrival a bit easier.
The room felt quite basic and dated. I stayed in a double. the value for money seemed off, considering the kettle came with paper cups. I thought it was a wasteful measure.
