Each room type design is different, but it has its own unique charm. The room I stayed in, Room 132, is clean and bright. The open-plan room design is also my favorite, and every room has been designed. The floors are heated, and the walls and floors are moisture-proof, so you don’t have to worry about the physical discomfort caused by moisture when you move in.
After a long day of traveling, a set of good-smelling bath products will definitely add a lot of points to the bathing experience.
