Disliked: Communication
i liked the price same as the hostel but u don't have to share a room //// i liked the lounge but they close the lounge at 22 pm //// and access to the lounge isn't guaranteed they can throw u out from the lounge anytime anytime they want //// and lounge isn't secure i noticed group of intruders intruders who don't live in a building spending hours hours in that lounge and making lots and lots of noise ///// and heat on the 9 th floor is extremely extremely difficult to tolerate 33 +++ celsius ///// if if they would offer bigger cooler cooler studios which they have have available i would consider consider extension !!!!!!! they also have kitchens but it wasn't a priority for them to make those kitchens available for guests and i don't understand yyyyyyy ?????? often burning gas // often fatigue gas // that is also a huge huge problem which i didn't like !!!!!!! and from the start i knew this isn't a laid back building because from the start they will remind u about many many strict rules !!!!!

Disliked: Room comfort
The building was modern and the room was clean and spacious, ideal for someone who just want a decent place to sleep. However, the room lacked minimal comfort items such as a rubbish bin, fan, hairdryer or kettle. The days were hot and the room window only open a bit so it was uncomfortable at times. A lot of outside noise of people gathering at the entrance of the building. Overall, a clean and safe place to sleep with good wifi; it’s fine as long as the weather is not warm.
