The attitude of the staff also helps to compensate for the room's limited proportions, although they can be difficult to reach for special requests.

If you want to go more upmarket, you can ask for one of the junior suites or deluxe suites, among the best in the capital.

There is enough variety so that people staying multiple nights will not get tired of it, although it seems many still choose to venture into town for something more substantial.
Oyster
