The differences lie in size, view and outdoor space rather than in the basic equipment.

The Standard Studio is one of the two 18 m² rooms, with a double bed, a wardrobe, an electric kettle and a tiled floor. It is the only room without a city view, so it suits guests who spend their days out and need a simple, air-conditioned base with a private bathroom and a shower.
