Double rooms feature a minibar, a flat-screen TV, and a private bathroom with shower, hairdryer and slippers; these rooms overlook the city. Family rooms add a kitchen with kitchenware and an electric kettle, and sleep two people in one double bed plus another single bed. Room sizes vary: some are spacious and comfortable, while others are compact. The property is housed in an older building and some areas may show wear. Noise carry-over from adjacent rooms or the street can affect light sleepers. Air conditioning reliability has been inconsistent, particularly during hot weather. A few rooms have reported maintenance issues such as mould in the shower or a stagnant smell in the hallway - it is advisable to request a room away from the entry corridor. Rooms are cleaned daily.

A café next door serves croissants and coffee for a light start.
