The rooms are soundproofed and allergy-free, with heating and air conditioning available.

Guests can eat at the in-house restaurant or visit LobByto, the cocktail bar located in the hotel's hall, which serves wine, champagne, and craft cocktails. A breakfast buffet with hot and cold options is offered each morning, and the hotel provides breakfast in the room upon request. Live music or performance takes place nightly, and themed dinner nights are organized on-site.
