My Accommodation at The Level
My spacious and luxurious room comprised a comfortable, large double bed with sumptuous pillows, table with 2 chairs, LCD satellite TV with more than 50 channels in different languages, phone, mini-bar, Nespresso coffee maker, magazines, MP3 station with bluetooth, safe, minibar, hairdryer and make up mirror.
The bathroom had a large walk-in shower with a private toilet area.
A Pilates ball was provided as well as weighing scales, ironing facilities, bathrobe and slippers.
In addition to the above I was welcomed with bottled water, olive oil crisps and fresh olives. There was also a range of products I could purchase. A turndown service was also provided.
Late check out was available at no extra cost which was a bonus travelling solo. It meant I could maximise my time on my last day exploring the city and still had my room available to freshen up before my flight.
