Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited dining options — Guests praised breakfast but noted the lack of lunch or dinner service on-site.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accommodate pets, which may be a drawback for travelers with animals.
- Check-in window ends at midnight — While reception is 24-hour, check-in is only possible from 15:00 to 23:59, which could be tight for very late arrivals.
- Potential noise from the area — Although reviews call it quiet, the hotel's proximity to a bus stop and main sightseeing spots might mean some street activity.
