    I had a single occupancy room and it had a double and a single bed as standard also the room was plenty big enough to take 2 beds. I'm sure if you request such there won't be a problem. hope this helps enjoy your stay

    No breakfast, but there are many options in the streets beside the hotel as it is in the centre of the ' Old City' area, with a very large number of cafes and restaurants, with excellent, cheap food.
