CERN Saint-genis hostel
It's a nice place, by first sight. After a few days, I started to notice a lot of inconveniences.
| Severity | Item |
| Light | No vending machines around the building |
| Light | Bugs at night. |
| Light | 30-minute walk to CERN |
| Light | Can't eat or store food in room, only in kitchen |
| Medium | No elevator. Moving in/out is a pain. |
| Medium | No cable internet, wireless connection extremely unstable |
| Medium | Hot, no air conditioning |
| Medium | No noise after 10 pm, ie. no shower, no laundry, etc. |
| Medium | No lid on toilet. No seat either. |
| Medium | Reception opening hours is short. |
| Severe | No trash can anywhere in public area in the building. This includes kitchen, toilet, etc. (ps. One has to take the trash out of the building immediately after cooking.) (ps2. I live in 4-th floor) |
| Severe | Washing machine is expensive! |
| Lethal | Single washing machine (and dryer) shared by 80 people. (This, combined with the 10pm thing.....) |
C'est la vie.
(ps. the internet connection almost make me lose this article. Good thing that I copied the text to gedit as I type)
