basic breakfastshower temperaturebroken extractor fan
the breakfast was fine and had all the basics i expected.
I was pretty annoyed about a few things. the shower temperature was impossible to regulate. It alternated between scalding hot and freezing cold. this made showering very uncomfortable. additionally, the extractor fan in the bathroom didn't work, so the room quickly filled with steam (it was awful).
