It did have a kitchenet and bathroom, the bed was a queen and everything was clean. But the cabins are very old and the floors move. They move so much that the toilet rocked when you sat on it. We did pretty much just pass through and the nigh was beautiful and quiet but like I said we never saw an employee and the canib was a bit iffy. But for the price I say it was ok."
