Småt og indelukket
Pros:

Meget central beliggenhed - fint med både vand, elkedel, te osv på værelset.

Cons:

Værelset var meget småt og jeg vil ikke anbefale det til familier med store børn. Vi var 4 på værelse nr 6 - mor, far og 2 store teenagere i en køjeseng, og det var næsten klaustrofobisk når bagagen blev nødt til at fylde det meste af gulvfladen. Vi måtte flytte lidt på et natbord og fik hvirvlet en del støv op. Der var indelukket og alt for varmt om natten og vinduet kunne kun åbnes en ganske lille smule. Hvis man fjerner garderobeskabet vil det evt hjælpe lidt på pladsen?
