Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Modest facilities — The hotel is small and basic – the facilities rating is notably lower than other aspects, and some guests find the rooms simple.
- Possible noise from the old town — Given the central location, street noise may be an issue for light sleepers, though some guests mention the area is quiet.
- No pets allowed — Guests travelling with pets cannot stay here, as the policy explicitly prohibits them.
- Check-in window is limited — Check-in only runs from 14:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight need to plan ahead.
