The room had two single beds, a TV. coffee and tea facilities. A washbasin was also very practical. It was quiet during the night. I found enough bathrooms with a shower or bathtub on every floor. Breakfast offered cereals (even gluten-free ones), fresh fruits, yoghurts and many options.
I noticed some dust. A thorough cleaning would improve the space.
