7.0

great location, spacious room, big desk, nice staff, nice breakfast.

− shower room is away from the guestroom, and water is not very hot. Facility in the room is only rudimentary (e.g. no kettle or tea bags) overpriced

Yeterince iyi bir konaklama

10.0

Konum Harikaydı. Konforu bir otelden farksızdı. Tuvalet banyo ortak kullanım olmasına rağmen her zaman müsait ve temizdi. Çalışanlar profesyoneldi. Yemekler iyiydi, ama yurtta yemek istemezseniz yakında bolca seçenek mevcuttu. Öğrenciliğim burada geçse unutamazdım.

− Bence tesis gerçekten büyük ve bir şeylerin yerini bulmak sonradan kolay gelse de başta zor olabiliyor. Websitesine orada kalan kısa süreli misafirler için bir kılavuz hazırlansa ilk günler için harika olurdu.

The position, 24-7 reception, and college facilities were great. The main hall for breakfast and meals in general is superb

− The room was rather basic without ensuite bathroom. This was nevertheless clearly indicated in the booking and somehow part of the college experience.
