I guess there are different rooms, and some of them are better, while others are worse. I got a bad one. It was extremely uncomfortable, because of the following conditions:
- the building is obviously old, and unfortunately, the floors are uneven; in my room, the bed was placed at the exact place for where the floor was very uneven, which means that I slept at an incline and not straight and I tended to slide to one side of the bed.
- the shower was tiny and was placed right at the entrance to the room; I am not big, but I had to squeeze myself to be able to get into/out of the shower. And inside the shower there was barely enough space to move ever so slightly.
- the floors were covered in two carpets that clearly had seen better days;
- sound isolation was non-existent: I could hear my neighbors cough - they were clearly sick and coughing a lot
- the noise from the street was insane; it is hard to believe, because the neighborhood in itself is actually calm and quiet with very little traffic, and my room was on a very high third floor, but there is something about the acoustic conditions that made every single conversation going on on that street very audible in my room, also with the window closed! As a result I had to sleep with my noise-canceling headphones on, because ear plugs were not enough.
- I knew beforehand that there was no elevator.
Most members of staff were very friendly and the location was excellent. But I feel like that can’t weigh up for the cons.
