Shared kitchens are at the end of the corridor on each guest floor, and they’ve got everything you need – cutlery, plates, glasses, stove, kettle, toaster, pans, you name it! You can store food in the fridge by labeling your items with your name and date of checkout. Any unidentified items will be discarded by our ruthless team.

Social Areas

Social areas are located on each floor. Think comfy sofas, big windows for natural light, and shelves filled with books. Whether you’re up for chilling, mingling, or diving into a good read, they’re the right spot. Plus, they’re great for making new friends without bothering your roommates. No parties or sleeping in the social areas, please!

Bathroom

Shared bathrooms are located in the corridor. If they’re occupied on your floor, you’re welcome to use the ones on other floors. Your key card works there too! Our awesome team cleans them several times per day, but please help by keeping them clean and tidy for everyone’s use. Feel free to report any issues to our front desk staff.
