The hotel offers gorgeous, spacious rooms with very comfortable beds and pillows. The rooms are massive with 2 double beds and a huge bathroom featuring a bath and separate walk-in shower. They are absolutely beautiful, newly refurbished, and luxurious. The only minor downside is the lack of a small lamp, but we were overall very happy customers.
