Cercanía al centro

El ascensor estaba roto... Y ya llevaba semanas roto por lo que veo en los comentarios. Muy ruidoso y la habitación tenía poca ventilación

The Room was really big with a Fan ,hairdryer ,power Adapter and a separate toilett .the people at the reception were nice and tried their Best to handle all the claims.the bar at the ground was really nice.

The elevator didnt work-it was really REALLY hard to get the luggage in the 5th floor and back.when we First entered the Room the floor was sticky,the window didnt stay open and the Fan was Full of dust Spreading it through the whole Room.after my reclaim at the reception they could fix the window and floor on the next day.unfortunatly the Room and bathroom were really old,Dirty, and dark.Because of the current heat we could Not really sleep in the Room under the roof and everytime we went back to the Hotel we didnt want to Go up-sad that there Are no drinks at the Bars outside allowed After 10pm.if you want hot water you have to buy at the vending Maschine. We also thought about having breakfast (10pound each) but because of the visit of a School class the buffet was messy and unhygenic-> rather eat outside I know it is a Hostel but it is really just the Minimum-you get a Room/bed

Für eine Nacht war die Unterkunft okay. Das gute ist, dass die Unterkunft direkt in der City ist.

Das Bett war unbequem und die Kissen sehr hart. Es gab keinen Fön und das Waschbecken war im Zimmer und nicht im Badezimmer. Der Fahrstuhl hat nicht funktioniert und wir mussten in die 5. Etage.

La posizione ottima

La camera non era come da prenotazione, anche se poi la ragazza della reception ha provveduto il giorno seguente a cambiarcela, trovato l asciugamano bagnato con un odore non gradevole, sembrava già usato, e rifare la stanza ( che bisognava prenotare) consisteva solamente lo svuotare i cestini, eravamo al quinto piano e l ascensore non funzionava
