Peter, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

The room was fine. The staff on check in seemed more interested in chatting to each other than guests.
Callum, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The room was like sleeping inside a freezer, no exaggeration. The temperatures were in the minus outside and the room felt colder. I’m not sure how but somehow stepping outside the room felt warmer than being inside. Terrible 😞 terrible feeling. Although, it made me try out the Whim Hoff breathing 😮‍💨 technique, it may have worked idk.

Silva, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

I had a private room, but it didn't have a curtain and was overlooked by an office (let alone the need to make the room dark to sleep in). I managed to cover these up myself, but not sure how you can rent out a room like this. Bed was comfortable and Kitchen is great, but no curtains spoilt the trip.
