Rooms

2 room types · 100–100 m²

Accommodation comes in two mixed dormitory categories: Single Bed in Mixed Dormitory Room and Bunk Bed in Mixed Dormitory Room. The first accommodates one person and the second two, with both categories spanning 100 m². Each has a balcony and city view, plus air conditioning and soundproofing. Both also include a terrace, flat-screen TV, coffee machine and minibar.

The room facilities centre on cooking and laundry: a refrigerator, microwave, stovetop, toaster, electric kettle and kitchenware accompany the coffee machine, while a washing machine and tumble dryer are also provided. A dining table gives you a place to eat, and the balcony adds outdoor space. The two options share this equipment and outlook; their clearest distinctions are capacity and the single-bed or bunk-bed format named for each mixed dormitory.
