[EN] The lot, where the hostel is designed, is located between Stuvaregatan and Styrmansgatan, near the Central Station of Halmstad. The hostel is at street Stationgatan. The lot, with an almost regular form, has a total surface of 15538 m2. The main idea is to build a hotel, like a youth hostel, which may be cheaper but without losing the amenities that could have a normal hotel, like a living room for reading and relaxation at the top floor. On the ground floor, apart from the reception, we have more rooms such as dining room, kitchen, toilets, perhaps a sauna, laundry room, (...). The other floors would be occupied by bedrooms, 2 or 3 floors, in rooms of 2, 4 and 6 people and we can extend them with additional beds. In the dining room we have several zones: one for breakfast, another area for lunch and dinner as a buffet. Each zone may have different areas depending on the type of food, an area with snacks, another area for vegetarian food, another area for fish, other meats area, and another area for special order food example for people with allergies...The toilets have the basics for people, a sink and a toilet, because every room has a full bathroom with sink, WC and shower or bath. The laundry room contains several washers and dryers to clean room clothing, sheets, towels and covers. Outside the hotel, it might be a cafe area with tables and chairs to enjoy the sunny days.
