The family room had bunk beds, very convenient for my children. The rooftop pool and bar provided very nice city views. I particularly enjoyed spending evenings there (under the stars).
The parking came with an extra charge of €24 per day, which I found quite expensive. The spa was under maintenance , so I couldn't use it.
