Rooms are compact but functional, with a double bed and optional extra bed for a child (bunk-style). Each room has a private bathroom (toilet with shower), though the layout places the sink and shower inside the main room area - best suited for couples or solo travellers rather than friends sharing. The rooms are cleaned daily, but basic amenities such as a kettle, fridge, hairdryer, and iron are not provided (available at reception upon request). Higher-floor rooms tend to be quieter. Some units may face an internal courtyard where occasional noise from the lift corridor or cleaning activities can be heard. The air conditioning works well, though it may be centrally controlled.

The breakfast area can get crowded during peak hours, but the staff restock frequently. The hotel has vending machines for snacks and drinks, and operates on a 'no restaurant' basis, so dinner must be sourced outside.
