Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Reception hours are limited — Check-in is only possible between 14:00 and 20:00, so plan your arrival accordingly.
- Breakfast can be slow — One review notes the breakfast, though good, took a while to arrive – worth factoring in if you're in a rush.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with an animal, this isn't the place – the policy is strictly no pets.
- Potential for occasional noise — Given the lively evening events and bar, light sleepers might find the atmosphere active – though no specific noise complaints were made.
