We stayed in room 305 facing the side. The room had a full-size bed. The window did not seal well and was very drafty. Street noise came through the window almost as if the window were open. The radiator did not provide sufficient heat to make room temperature comfortable when the outdoor temperature was below freezing. We should have asked for an extra blanket. In the morning, we had to run the hot water in the sink and shower for 3 to 4 minutes before the water was hot enough for a shower. The doorway to the toilet has a sliding frosted-glass door (and entry to the shower is from the toilet area), but the shower has a clear glass floor-to-ceiling window that faces into the room, so you want to be sure that you are sharing the room with someone you are comfortable with seeing you in the shower! On-line photos don't make this immediately obvious, but having stayed there I can see it in some photos.
