Pros:

Clean, comfy.

Cons:

No heater in the shower/toilet room, when leaving the shower, you will feel cold immediately. As well cannot get your towels dry which is usually a default everywhere. Also no carpets in the room, so have slippers ready if you decide to stay, otherwise you will get cold feet quickly too. Lastly, the dinning area was super cold too, probably 12-14 celsius, had to eat breakfast with a hood on, food gets cold pretty immediately when you put it on the plate. If I am not mistaken, main entrance door was open during this chilly morning. Small things you could say overall, however it gives you bit of discomfort, but other than that, everything else was alright.
