Unique old building with secure parking. My room was noisy and cold due to an open window which could not be closed as the glass didn't fit the window frame. The shared kitchen had no tea, milk was frozen in the fridge, the fridge was full of broken glass water bottles the had frozen, the kitchen sink tap was not secure, the shower curtain was dirty , the shower head was broken and would stay on place.
