Room position and outdoor space

All rooms feature air conditioning, with layouts ranging from standard doubles to options accommodating up to three guests. The Double with Terrace is the sole room category offering private outdoor space. Guests can also access a shared outdoor terrace on the property.

Facilities and what is missing

The building was a private bank headquarters and is now a minimalist, contemporary stay; it includes facilities for disabled guests. Complimentary Wi-Fi is accessible throughout the entire property. Bathrooms are equipped with showers, hair dryers, and complimentary toiletries. The rates on the official rooms page are room only, so breakfast is not included; ask the hotel if you want it added.

Guests on booking platforms most often praise the central position, clean rooms and attentive staff; a few find the rooms very minimal.
