Lieu fonctionnel, à n’utiliser qu’en dernier recours, pratique
Pros:

Une AJ qui est une usine à chambre. Nous étions au 8 ème étage, chambre accessible par un dédale de couloirs, propre et fonctionnelle pour une nuit. Cuisine en sous sol, tous les placards sont vides de toute vaisselle, plutôt sale. Un micro onde, un frigidaire, une bouilloire dans laquelle des jeunes ont fait cuire leurs spaghettis à défaut de casseroles à emprunter à la réception à des kilomètres de là.

Cons:

La cuisine totalement sous équipée, les espaces communs sombres et mal conçus, le Check in automatisé. L’ascenseur qui ne montait pas au huitième étage et s’arrêtait au sept.
Pour avoir fréquenté de nombreuses AJ, l’endroit demanderait à être rénové.1

Pros:

Room and toilet was perfectly fine. No complaints about the room facilities. Just one problem it's located next to a train line. So at night trains will give you pain while you are sleeping

Cons:

The common kitchen was an absolute mess. I stayed in this place once before and the situation in kitchen was the same back then. I informed staffs but i could see this time nothing improved. No plates and cutlery for guest. I had to buy one time plates and cutlery. Tables were dirty. Whole sink area was dirty. And the kitchen area is very suffocated. The trash bins were overflowing with trash. Not enough facilities for guests if they want to cook something. Not even any drinking water facilities

Pros:

All good nice place for family and kids. My room was big so it was cool. Bathroom inside is ok. Have kitchen to cook wich helps alot. Nice area for coworking and games. Nice rooftop. Is close to the train station.

Cons:

It is huge there are multiple elevators but moving from reception to room or lobby is to far. Kitchen does have equipment you need to request and sometimes the run out of cooking pawn and equipment. But is not bad is a good place.

Funzionale e informale
Pros:

Hotel start, check in in autonomia rapido!
La sera nella hall c'è un clima vivace con tanti giovani...divertente. Comodo poter ordinare una pizza in caso di "necessità".

Cons:

Stanza poco insonorizzata x i rumori provenienti dall esterno
