Room types

The Budget Quadruple Room with Shared Bathroom accommodates up to four guests and has four single beds, making it an option for friends or families who want to stay together. It also includes a wardrobe, a clothes rack and a socket near the bed. Neither room type has a private bathroom: the shower and toilet are shared.
