Rooms

3 room types · 8–18 m²

Casa De Dobby has three room types, each with garden and mountain views and a terrace; the Double Room with Garden View also has a balcony. Sizes range from 8 m² for the Budget Double Room to 12 m² for the double room and 18 m² for the Single Bed in Dormitory Room. The dormitory room is for one person, while each double room accommodates up to two. Each room has one Large bed (King size).

Bathroom arrangements are shared rather than private: the double room descriptions specify a shared bathroom with a shower, while the dormitory room has a shared toilet. Towels, slippers, toiletries and a hairdryer feature among the room provisions, and washing machines are included in the room details. The differences are chiefly room size and outdoor access: one double room has both a balcony and terrace, while the smaller Budget Double Room has a terrace and the same garden-and-mountain outlook.
