Pros:

المكان من ناحية الهدوء والقرب ممتاز
الموظفين متعاونين جدا وكانو متفاهمين والغرفه مساحتها للشخصين ممتازه جدا

Cons:

الغرفه لا يوجد بها عازل
اصوات دورات المياه للغرف المجاوره تسمع بوضوح ومزعجه
اصوات الغرفه اللي كانت فوق مباشرا نسمع اصوات خطواتهم وتحريك الاغراض

تم وضع لنا رساله من قبل موظفه النظافه كنوع من التهديد وغرامه تصل الى 150 باوند لقولها بانني ادخن وفي حال التكرار سيتم الالغاء حجزكم
وبعد توجهي الى الاستقبال لم يكن سبب التدخين بل استخدام الفحم والبخور وتفهمو ذالك
