Prima voor wat je ervoor betaalt.
Pros:

De kamer had veel faciliteiten: handdoeken, koelkast, koffie/thee en waterkoker, bodywash en shampoo, ventilatoren, televisie.

Cons:

Het was erg warm, ondanks open raam en ventilatoren. De koelkast en ventilatoren maken veel geluid. Slechte nacht gehad. Oud gebouw en bovenste verdieping. Vierde verdieping zonder lift.
