In which our room assignments were a little odd

In Salzburg we stayed at the Institut St. Sebastian, which is a hotel run by nuns.

We were given keys for single occupancy rooms and keys for shared rooms for the students.  I'm not sure why that meant I had the largest room that could comfortably house three people, but what the hey.

Here's the view from the door.  There's a short hallway with the shower and sinks to the right, and the toilet to the left.  The separation of toilet and shower/sinks is a common architectural feature, which makes washing one's hands a little annoying.


Toilet room.  The panel on the wall is the flush trigger, which can be stopped at any time to save water.


This is the bed I ended up sleeping on.  The metal thing on the wall is a lamp.


Another view of the room from the direction of the door.


Turning another 90 degrees, another bed and more storage space.  Some of the rooms in the hotel are rented by students studying at the nearby Mozarteum.


Here's the view out one of the windows.


Here's the view out the other window.



Alas, the nuns had already anticipated my thought about trying different beds.  Curses!  I did end up stealing a pillow off another bed after the first one proved to be completely flat.  The second one was fine.
