General Impression

Tea, coffee, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages, sandwiches and snacks. Ice cream was also avaiable (two types).

Showers and Spa

There are no showers or spa. The washrooms were quite nice looking and clean. Check out the digital clock inside the mirror! Only one stall in the men's washroom.

Entertainment and Business-facilities

Business area with free internet access, international and local newspapers and magazines. There were six working computer terminals in December 2007.
