No coffee in the room without having to go a good way along the corridor which ,although there would barely be room for a tea tray in the room. The room was compact and it was difficult to operate /access the lighting at the opposite site of the bed . However, I suspect not much can be done about this due to the compact design . However , the color scheme and ambience of the hotel is good ."
