Pros:

Läget när man har hund. Tråkigt att det ska stänga. Jag trivdes

Cons:

Lite slitet och lite ostädat i korridorer och entre men förstår det då det var en personal som skötta allt.

Surkea luukku. Pitää poistaa käytöstä heti. Paha mieli jäi.
Pros:

Sijainti Vasa Linen satamaan hyvä.

Cons:

Home haisi huoneissa. Suihku-vessa käsittämättömän huono. Käsiä ei voinut pestä, koska tavallista hanaa ei ollut. Kastuit läpimäräksi, kun yritit sen tehdä suihkulla joka oli ainoa vesipiste. Miten voi olla tälläistä ala-arvoista rikkaassa Ruotsissa?

Smutsigt. Ofräsch dusch. Saknades handdukar. Fick ett dåligt ägg på frukosten som gav matförgiftning

Skrattretande och lite skrämmande.
Pros:

Jag tyckte om att åka därifrån så fort jag kunde.

Cons:

Allt kunde varit bättre. Tänk dig ett ödsligt, lite illaluktande och slitet församlingshem så får du de allmänna ytorna. Rummet kändes mycket sämre än ett fängelserum med fläckiga väggar och läskig ”konst” på väggarna. Badrummet var som ett sämre på nått gammalt pappersbruk.
