Charging for luggage storage, in my case, I didn't end up leaving it, but it would be a very good service if they didn't charge those of us who have paid for accommodation.

Very noisy and small

The common room where you can stay, use board games, charge your phone, and bring your own food.

There were only two bathrooms (two toilets) for women and only two for men in the facility. This means that the bathrooms became indecent to use at night.

The proximity to the street, the noise when others entered the building. At 5:30, we couldn't sleep anymore.

There can't be a better location for accommodation than this

There is no sound insulation in the room at all, for example, you could clearly hear what the neighbors in the next room were saying

Everything was great! Amazing location and so close to the train station.

Dorm was in a different building from the kitchen, but not far away.
