Accommodation
There are 93 rooms including 79 Superiors and 14 Suites. We stayed in a Superior King in the newer building which was large enough and had a bathroom with a washbasin, shower and toilet. The King size bed was comfortable and the room faced the courtyard, quiet enough to get a decent night’s sleep.
