  Snídaně v restauraci v přízemí platí se zvlášť na místě. Na mě trochu moc asijská (mořské rostliny s masem ve vodě…) Přes ulici nonstop otevřený obchod s potravinami a soju, takže ok. Na pokoji konvice a kafe a čaj k dispozici. Dále kartáček na zuby, pantofle, v koupelně tekuté mýdlo, šamon a kondicioner. Metro 200m, autobusy z/na letiště do 200m.
