    9.6 / 10Outstanding·Dec 2025
    It has everything you need. Great stay with good water pressure and hot water. Good heater and very spacious. Very clean shared kitchen for cooking. Oil , pasta , rice , salt & pepper are free for use. They even provide cake , pastries , waffles and assorted tea for morning and afternoon snack. Very nice & pleasant stay . The only complaint I have is the carpet seems dirty.
    6 / 10Average·Jan 2026
    Bonus: the kitchen was clean and there was free pasta, rice, and oats provided with lots of hook and kitchen space to cook on. Downside: the shared bathrooms/toilets weren’t clean. No one cleaned them during our stay and the bins next to the toilet were overflowing and no one emptied them the 3 days we were there.
