Lugnt och enkelt.
Pros:

Trevligt vandrarhem, enkelt med kodlås. Bra kök och utrustning. Diskmaskin.

Cons:

Sängen kunde ha varit renare. Fick borsta av bäddmadrassen från ludd när jag bäddade och hudflagor från sängskyddet under madrassen.
Bäddmadrassskyddet borde dammsugas/vädras eller tvättas mellan gäster. Och skyddet under madrassen absolut dammsugas mellan gäster.
Få parkeringsplatser.

Helt greit i forhold til prisen.
Pros:

Perfekt beliggenhet.

Cons:

Litt trangt rom.
Smale senger.
Dårlig vanntrykk.
Gulvkonstruksjonen i dusj/bad gjør at vannet ved dusjing flyter utover hele badegulvet.
