My room was small and next to laundry which made it noisy, not only with dryers going next door but with sounds of water running through pipes and backflow sounds from the drain, etc. Fairly outdated facility but clean and tidy.

The 3-bedroom apartment was a good solution for 4 adults, it was clean with all of the basic facilities. The apartment was let down by not having black out curtains in one of the rooms. Also, even though it was a cold day there was no attempt to make the apartment cozy and warm by having the heat pump running before we arrived. It is very uninviting to walk into a cold space, either poor planning or too worried about cost over comfort. The oven was switched off and required me to get help from reception once I turned it on due to the clock needing to be set. Either include instructions in the room or leave it switched on and operable.
