Pros:

Sehr gute und moderne Dusche. Die Betten sind sehr bequem.

Cons:

Es ist etwas ringhörig, aber im Zimmer gab es sogar Ohrstöpsel. Wir konnten jedoch auch ohne diese gut schlafen, der Lärm hielt sich in Grenzen.

Booked the single bed for a business trip. Honestly very comfortable. Had a nice ensuite for shower and toilet. The extras are nice too. I got a free alcoholic drink and water with my stay

Cons:

Room is a tad small, and it can be dim. Low light despite the sun and lights.
