have several restaurants, supermarkets and shops. Breakfast was good, plentiful and with good variety. The room was spacious and well-distributed, with an excellent desk and a good chair.

It must be troublesome to pack without natural light. The shower box cannot be closed (!), which makes the shower quite uncomfortable: if you are not careful, the bathroom easily gets wet. There is no hygienic shower beside the toilet, which would help the people who cannot or should not use toilet paper. The space for the suitcase does not fit a suitcase that is not a handbag, as a larger suitcase would block the door - if the space were in reverse position in relation to the closet, it would be much more satisfactory.

It is not the hotel's fault, as it appears to be local law, but this limit is not warned at the time of booking. [Less]
