a little jem!
king size bed free water
we booked last minute and got a large basement room. it was a fine, beautiful, very large room with a king-size bed. there was a big wardrobe with an easy-to-use safe and a dressing table. free bottled water was provided in reception.
the street leading to the accommodation is very steep. it can be slippery, so it's not advised for elderly or those with health problems.

I saw turkish tea and hot water in reception. it was available for instant coffee and fruit teas. there were a few chinese restaurants nearby. These offered a good change of pace. the food was AMAZING!!!
