Pros:

我在這裡認識了韓國朋友，非常高興！
這裡很靠近車站要去哪都蠻方便的
附近還有超市
這裡的廚房沒有太多人使用，不會排隊

Cons:

沒有吹風機，可能要自己買或是跟別人借
浴室是每間獨立的，乾濕分離，但對我來說有點太小間了，可能轉個身都有點困難

Ich habe mich während meines Aufenthaltes dort wohlgefühlt.
Pros:

Ich mag die Atmosphäre im Roamer. Die Lage ist top! Die Einrichtung ist funktional und gemütlich. Das Service Personal freundlich und bemüht zu helfen.

Cons:

Es könnte etwas sauberer sein! Unter den Betten ist schon länger nicht mehr gesaugt worden und der Boden ist teilweise fleckig. Es sollen nur junge Leute bis 35 Jahren in die Schlafsääle - das finde ich nicht sehr weltoffen.

Great location. Needs a professional deep clean.
Pros:

Good location. Sheets and towels were clean.

Cons:

So much grime. The carpet in level 3 needs to be replaced. Didn’t see other floors. Just grime build-up every where. You can’t rely on travellers to clean well. I removed the sheets to help cleaning staff and found a vomit stain going down the side of the mattress cover. Just disgusting that the cleaning staff can’t even be bothered to remove it for cleaning. Even the restaurant is grimey. Do better!
