The room was spacious and quiet. The little fridge was hidden behind a cupboard door, so you could barely hear it at night. Beautiful modern bathroom. A comfy day bed to read on. Ilkari restaurant had an exceptionally good breakfast buffet. Very nice people all around - receptionists, waiting staff, etc.; they catered to all my needs. Thank you :).
