A small balcony with a table and two chairs
A private bathroom where a shower, sink, mirror, bidet and Hairdryer. Two sets of towels. In the room description said "Free toiletries" is too strong for what was in the bathroom. From supply only liquid soap or whatever in a jar near the sink. For us, the lack of a complete set of toiletries was a minus, because when choosing hotels, we pay special attention to this fact, so don't carry all those jars and bottles in connection with the personal conviction to "travel the maximum light."
Breakfast buffet is served from 08:00 to 10:00 a.m. on the third floor of the hotel in the dining room of the owners of the hotel. For Breakfast: a couple of types of cold cuts, a couple types of cheese, yoghurt, boiled eggs, bread, muesli and milk long-term storage, a variety of pastries (muffins, croissants, etc., all from the store), juice packs, water, tea, coffee, brewed in the coffee machine.
In the hallway, leaflets, magazines, a mirror, a candy bar and a chair. For the interior common corridor very well. For monoblock special thanks though to us he was not needed, but for someone can be a great tool.
There is also a kettle, tea bags (green tea, black, herbal and various additives - a decent selection), and sugar. Clean water is always close by. Of course, when the kettle is in the room, but the hotel is quite small, and therefore this location was not a disadvantage.
Separately want to tell about the hosts and only the positive. The owners Marco and his wife, talkative, friendly and helpful people. Always help and prompt, tell what and where to look, and where better to get that to try out the local dishes and so on.
Marco enjoys chess and backgammon, the player is great, in the dining room you can see a lot of them won cups and awards. So if you're a fan of chess or backgammon, you can break up with him go tie one on, think he will not mind))
