All rooms come with the signature Sweet Bed by Ibis bedding, a desk, a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, and free Wi-Fi. Each room has air conditioning, heating, ironing facilities, a kettle, a mini fridge, and a safe. The private bathroom includes a shower, hairdryer, and complimentary toiletries (shampoo, soap). Rooms are soundproofed but noise from corridors or adjacent rooms can be audible due to internal wall construction. Road-facing rooms may be noisier than those facing the interior. Room sizes are compact, and the bathrooms are small - this is a functional city hotel, not a spacious resort. Interconnecting rooms are available on request, subject to availability. Smoking rooms can be requested, also subject to availability. Daily housekeeping is included, with towel changes.

The surrounding area offers dozens of restaurants within a 5-minute walk, providing ample choice for lunch or dinner.
