Trist boende

Mkt trĂ„kigt rum! Bilderna visar mangĂ„rdsbyggnaden men rummen ligger intill en nybyggd ”barack” som inte alls passar in med huvudbyggnadens stil. Mkt spartanska rum, trista, dĂ„ligt utrustade - om det kostat 500kr natten att bo dĂ€r hade jag förstĂ„tt men 1490kr var det absolut inte vĂ€rt!
