8/10 Good
"The location is great, right in the city center. I would have given the amenities a 5 if a microwave and refrigerator are provided in the common area or on every floor. I love that the bathroom is separate from the toilet. Check out is too early, should be at least 11 AM. The system also had an issue because I chose the bottom bunk and paid for it but I still got assigned to the upper bunk. I got refunded but still not happy about not having the lower bunk. The staff did offer to move me to another room but I already settled in."
