Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • Busy surrounding area — The hotel is in a crowded part of the city, which some guests noted as a downside.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 17:00, which may be inconvenient for those arriving outside these hours.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not permit pets, which could be a drawback for travellers with animals.
  • Street-level noise potential — Being in a busy area, noise from the street could be an issue for light sleepers, though some guests found their rooms quiet.
  • No on-site parking — Public parking is available nearby, but there is no dedicated hotel parking, so guests with cars may need to plan ahead.
