Pros:

Sijainti tarpeeksi lähellä rautatieasemaa, jonne jaksoi kävellä aamuvarhain. Rauhallinen paikka.

Ihan ookoo, kätevä käyttää.
Pros:

Aamiaista ei ollut, mutta sijainti hyvä.

Cons:

Huone olisi voinut olla viihtyisämpi. Ei ollut suihkun vierssä pesuaineita ja toinen jääkaapeista haisi järkyttävälle.

Es hat sich wieder gelohnt
Pros:

Ich war zum sechsten Mal vor Ort und ich kann diese Unterkunft guten Gewissens empfehlen. Zwar muss man sein Bett selber beziehen, aber das ist es wert. Es gibt insgesamt 4 Küchen für Selbstversorger. Und den Code für den Zugang enthält man morgens per SMS.

Cons:

Da habe ich nichts.
