8/10 Very good

The room was very spacious and homely, it felt like a lounge only with a double bed. The bed was extremely comfortable and I also appreciated having a bathtub available. There was plenty of storage space for clothers and other items (lots of drawers there). The staff were friendly and welcoming with an easy check-in.
