Worth weighing
5 to weigh- No on-site parking — There is no parking available at the property, so guests arriving by car will need to use public parking garages in the area.
- Shared bathrooms in some rooms — Several rooms come with a shared bathroom, and while guests report they are clean, they may not suit everyone's preference for privacy.
- Compact rooms — The rooms are described as small or compact – fine for a short stay, but not ideal for those wanting extra space.
- Limited reception hours for check-in — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 23:00, which may be inconvenient for those arriving very late at night.
- No pets or smoking — The property enforces a strict no-pets and no-smoking policy, which could be a drawback for travelers with animals or those who smoke.
