Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Bathrooms can be cold — One guest noted that the bathroom was cold during their stay, which may be a concern in cooler months.
  • Basics only in rooms — Rooms come with heating, but amenities are minimal—no private bathroom in some room types, and no TV or air conditioning listed. The shared kitchen is a trade-off for those expecting full hotel amenities.
  • Student-style accommodation — As a student accommodation, the atmosphere and facilities may not suit travellers seeking a traditional hotel experience. Expect shared spaces and a more institutional feel.
