Room types

The accommodation offers six categories, with options for one or two people. The Single Room accommodates one guest and has one large double bed; the double options accommodate two and also have a large double bed. All rooms have a private bathroom, a feature they share, so you can choose between the different categories without giving this up.

The categories include a Studio, Double Room and Superior Double Room, as well as two options with a specific feature in the name: the Deluxe with bathtub and the double room with balcony. You can choose a room with a bathtub, one with a balcony or a category whose name does not highlight either feature. No room sizes in square metres are provided for comparison. The occupancy, bed type and private bathroom help you identify the essentials of each option before deciding.
