All rooms have private bathrooms, but some have a glass door that provides limited privacy. Shower doors are absent in several rooms, allowing the bathroom floor to get wet. Soundproofing between rooms and the corridor is thin - noise from neighbouring toilets, showers, and hallway conversations is common. Some rooms on the first floor can hear nightclub music until 3:00 AM. Rooms on higher floors (level five) are quieter. Triple rooms can be tight for three people with suitcases. Twin beds are standard; they can be separated upon request at check-in, but are normally delivered pushed together. Pillows are thin, and bedding consists of a sheet with a spare blanket available. No balcony is available. The air conditioning system is centrally controlled and cannot be adjusted individually; some rooms feel warm. Windows may face a wall or an internal courtyard, limiting natural light. No in-room fridge, kettle, or coffee-making facilities.

The breakfast selection includes bread, pastries, cold meats, cheese, boiled eggs, cereal, fruit, juice, and a coffee machine. The dining room is often busy between 8:30 and 9:30 AM, with limited seating and noise from chair legs scraping on the hard floor.
