the room offered basic facilities including tea and drinks. i found that acceptable.
I was disappointed by the lack of available electric sockets. one next to the bed didn't even work. The only other one was on the opposite side. i certainly hope this can be fixed soon.

pleasant smellin-room refrigeratorcomfortable beddated toilet
The reception area had a pleasant smell upon arrival! i appreciated the in-room refrigerator. It was useful. complimentary toiletries were provided, a nice touch. the bed was very comfortable, and i had a very quiet night.
I found it a bit odd that the toilet was separate from the bathroom. the toilet also seemed somewhat dated. This detracted slightly from the overall experience, though the rest of the room was modern.
