    In the initial arrangement, there was obviously a smell from other roommates. After communicating with the front reception, she resolved the problem very well and helped me move to a more comfortable room with no smell.

    The staff at the front desk were great. They dealt with, and even remembered, one-offs like me. My dorm bed was incredibly comfortable. The space in the room was really good. And being able to shut off with the curtain into a very comfortable bed...
