The review

The Twin Deluxe gives two people around 19–21 m², two windows, a sofa, a fridge and a coffee and tea maker, with single beds. It is about as large as the Superior and Junior Suite for less money, so it is the sensible upgrade for travellers who don't need a double bed.

For

  • About 19–21 m² with two windows
  • Fridge, coffee and tea maker and bathrobes
  • Cheaper than the Superior for a similar size

Against

  • Single beds only
  • No balcony
  • Only 11 on board
