Viidennen kerroksen käytävällä haisi oudolle. Äänieristys käytävältä huoneisiin oli huono, ja käytävällä juoksenteli metelöiviä lapsia iltaisinkin ja kaikki äänet kuului suoraan huoneeseen.

Ihan ok.

Siisti, ok sängyt ja hyvä sijainti. Huoneessa on jostain käsittämättömästä syystä värillinen lasi-ikkuna kylpyhuoneeseen, joten kun vessaan sytyttää valon niin valaisee koko huoneen ja herättää seuralaisen. Aamiaisella ei saa espressoa tai capuccinoa edes maksamalla, vaikka kone heillä on, se ei vain ole päällä aamiaisella. Aivan typerää.
