the staff was friendly on arrival. they took me to my room and showed me everything. the room had a kettle, lots of teas and coffee. breakfast was included in my room with cereals, fruit, pastries and a mini fridge with water, milk and juice.

the room was small and cramped. i think it needs a good clean. the steep, narrow staircase was difficult, especially with luggage.
