Bedding is included for the bed, but you will need to bring your own sleeping gear (sleeping bag, pillow, etc.) for the floor mattress. In other words: one person sleeps in the bed and the other on the mattress, and you can agree between yourselves how to divide the space.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10\">Due to winter conditions and limited capacity, the room is shared with other teachers and their partners. The teachers' room features an open bathroom and WC layout. For general attendees, a spacious floor-sleeping area is provided on the lower level.
