Room 503 with two twin beds was as a very small room. It was the size of a cruise ship cabin. The bathroom was good size. I Enjoyed the heated bathroom floor and heater in the bathroom. There’s a water kettle in the room.

Just enough to survive.

Good location. Property is a bit tired, heating is based on heatpumps and ours was extremely noisy and didn't heat enough the room. Bed is very hard (even for a Chinese) and some dishes were dirty.
