Жили в 2х комнатных апартаментах, с кухней, туалет и душевая комнаты раздельные, балкон. В номере все было и посуда и микроволновка и плита. Номер понравился, но кровать жестковата. Коридоры отеля какие-то странные как бункер. Ресторан работает только 3 дня в неделю, вид отличный из ресторана и отель недалеко от центра
