Pros:

Lokalizacja bardzo dobra wszędzie stosunkowo blisko.

Cons:

Dość głośna ulica i spory ruch samochodów od rana do późnego wieczoru.W pokoju brak mebli, było tylko krzesło i mała metalowa szafka przy łóżku.Nie było gdzie zostawić, ułożyć ubrań z torby przy pobycie kilku dniowym to utrudnienie.Tak samo wyposażenie kuchni słabe, mała ilość kubków i talerzy na tyle pokoji.

Pros:

It was not dirty and location was fine.

Cons:

Walls are extremely thin, and even though other people were very quiet, normal conversations are bein heard.
Stuff that cleans didn't come every day.
But the biggest problem was that there is no table to sit and eat. Ether in the common area or the rooms which is what makes it uncomfortable.
Towels for hand washing were COMMUNAL towels (one big towel per bathroom) expected to be shared between random people of all rooms. This part is really crazy to me tbh, and no paper towels in bathrooms were provided.
You can leave luggage when you go out of the room so I payed 13 euros in other establishment to keep it for a few hours.
All in all not great, but if no other options, noy terrible ether. But if other people are loud or dirty it is hell.

Pros:

L emplacement et la propreté!
Le lit confortable.
Les infos pour entrer à l intérieur 1 jour avant.

Cons:

Vous pourriez ajouter des vrais tapis de salle de bains pour chaque chambre par exemple.

Et isoler les fenêtres entre les chambres de la lumiere un peu mieux.
