Great place. Good location. Complimentary in-house made breakfast served daily morning. That's a great time to socialise. Manager Matthias is very professional, super responsive to mails.

Stayed here for two years without having any major problems. Although rooms are on the small side, they are sufficient and comfortable for me. Warden is very nice.

This house is cozy, but some people in this house are quite lazy and selfish. They refuse to wash pots and plates after using, which make the kitchen like a wasteyard.

The accommodation is basic but the staff are very welcoming, bathrooms are clean and the price affordable. There are also social events organised by the warden Matthias. Saw a review about bad internet - for me it worked perfectly. Definitely will come back. Location cannot be more perfect. Other residents were considerate. Very happy.

WiFi ranges from terrible to non-existent, rooms are very small for the price you pay, no good place to hang out except for a grim room in the basement. Kitchen ceiling collapsed after heavy rain, fixing the shower takes weeks, weird rules for having people over at night (though never enforced). Honestly, the people are decent but I wouldn't go again.
