How we score
Each score is worked out by code from the facts this page shows, never from guests’ ratings or a writer’s opinion, and is given as 1 to 5 dots.
Near the sights: how close the nearest listed sight is, and how many are within 1 km. Rooms: the room sizes we show and how many types there are. Facilities: how many kinds the hotel lists (dining, pool or spa, fitness, front desk services, comfort and access). Families: whether children are welcome, and family rooms, a kids’ club or pool, a playground, babysitting. Wellness: spa, hammam, sauna, steam room, pools, gym and massage.
A score is left out when the hotel’s facts are too few to judge it.

From a 16 m² basement double to three 40 m² rooms
The Economy Double or Twin Room on the basement floor is the smallest and the only room below ground level: 16 m², one double bed, and it sleeps up to 3. Above it, the room types that each sleep up to 3 are the Classic Double or Twin Room at 18 m² with one double bed or two twins, the Deluxe Room at 20 m² with a queen bed, the Standard Twin Room at 20 m² with two twins, the Superior Double Room with Sea View at 20 m² with a queen bed, and the Comfort Double or Twin Room at 22 m² with one double or one queen bed. For a pair on a shorter stay the differences come down to size, bed and view.
Views split the mid-range. Friends sharing do best in the Classic with two twins or the Standard Twin. Couples wanting more than 22 m² move up to the Corner Double or Triple Room, 28 m² with a double bed and a sofa bed, or the Queen Suite, 38 m² with a queen bed and a sofa bed.
Three rooms share the top size of 40 m²: the Imperial Suite with a super-king bed and a sofa bed, the Family Connecting Room with a queen bed, and the Family Room with a double bed and two twins plus a city view. The Family Room is the natural choice for a family, with three separate beds behind one door, and children are allowed at the hotel.
