family room comfy beds cold shower small room
the family room had a lovely decoration. it was also pretty quiet even if it was above the pub. the beds were very comfy. the location is just perfect because its near the cathedral and main square.
the room didnt have a chair. i wanted to sit down. the shower room felt really cold, and i just couldnt warm up after my shower. it was a problem because i had trouble to sleep because i was so cold.
