We were in room 7. It was a quiet room as looked onto a courtyard. A little on the small side, especially the bathroom. Bed was comfortable. It had a fan in the room which was useful. Breakfast a little disappointing, the hollandaise sauce on egg benedict did not have much flavour. Although I guess thats very individual.
