the hotel features a nespresso coffee machine in the room. complimentary bottles of water were available everyday. i found the bed comfy and the room's size quite generous.

the breakfast i had was unacceptable considering the price. i thought the selection was quite small and the quality of the items offered was poor. the tomatoes and melon were inedible because they were green.
