Travel24 Hotel
"Quirky hotel - very modern design with lime green everywhere. Room was shall we say different. Shower right next to the bed and full glass so might be a bit awkward depending on who you are sharing the room with. Also had a bath the shape of a stiletto shoe (lime green of course and lit up at night). ..."
