We stayed 2 nights in a king studio room. The room is spacious and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Clean and well maintained room and good quality furniture, fittings etc. with a calming outlook into a central garden area. Recommendations on their website for local breakfast and dinner options were spot on. Highly recommended as a place to stay.
