Per-room detail
What varies between categories is bathrooms, outlook and outdoor space rather than fittings: every room gets the same bed, the same air conditioning and the same wi-fi. The differences are set out on each room page — which categories have a bath, which have a balcony, and which one has a kitchen.
Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out by 10:00. Step-free routes, roll-in showers and door widths are on the accessibility page, which is specific rather than reassuring.
