Very well appointed accommodation reflecting stylish decor throughout and a high standard of facilities, furnishings and guest services

Well appointed and comfortable accommodation with a good range of facilities and furnishings

Basic accommodation with clean and reasonably well maintained range of facilities

Very simple and clean, no-frills style accommodation with limited room facilities and often a shared bathroom
