Personal comments
Rooms are fully equiped (bathroom with shower and WC). However, railroad right next to the building takes care of enough of the noise. Kitchens are ideal meeting places of various cultures, that's ok, but microwave owen should be standard equipment (which isn't). Location regarding campus is convenient. Main drawback is price.
