Rooms

2 room types · 25–25 m²

The accommodation range consists of two 25 m² options: a Superior Double Room and a Superior Twin Room. Both have air conditioning, a private bathroom with a shower, a flat-screen TV with cable channels, an inner courtyard view and a safety deposit box. Each room is arranged for up to two people, with a different bed layout to suit couples or friends travelling together.

The Superior Double Room has a large king-size bed and a terrace overlooking the courtyard. The Superior Twin Room has two single beds, a patio and a seating area, making it the distinct choice if you want separate beds and somewhere to sit.
