The hotel offers 104 units across studios and one-room apartments. Comfort studios feature an open-plan layout with a double bed and a sofa bed (no door between them); for a separate sleeping area, book a one-room apartment instead. All rooms include a private bathroom, air conditioning, heating, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, and a kitchenette equipped with a dishwasher, microwave, toaster, refrigerator, coffee machine, and kettle. Some units have a large terrace, and upper-floor rooms overlook a quiet pedestrian area. Soundproofing is standard, though rooms facing the street may experience some noise from the lively neighbourhood. The main bed is generally comfortable, while the sofa bed is consistently described as thin and with visible springs - not suitable for longer stays or for guests with back concerns. Some bathrooms have a shower that may leak onto the floor; room cleanliness and odour issues (drains) have been noted in a minority of units. Storage space is adequate for short stays.
