Not very environmentally friendly. Instead of disposable plastic cups for tea would like to see more regular reusable cups. No recycling bin.
Place was modern, huge wide spaces

Wifi was not available anywhere else than the reception. Was really cold at the common areas (except for the reception) also in the room, they turned it on only once.
You get to meet a lot of people in your same situation. Made a lot of friends first time. Kitchen is big if you wanna cook.
