Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • Strict check-in window — Check-in is limited to 13:00–14:00, which requires planning if you arrive outside these hours.
  • Limited room sizes — Some guests note that rooms can be on the smaller side, even if they are bright and clean.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accommodate pets, which may be a drawback for those traveling with animals.
  • Inconsistent guest experiences — While many reviews are stellar, a few rate lower (5.6–7.4) — often due to specific aspects like room size or area noise, not the overall vibe.
  • No on-site parking mentioned — The property does not list parking as an amenity; guests may need to find street parking or use public transport.
