Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Adult-only policy may not suit families — The hotel does not allow children, so it's not suitable for those traveling with kids.
  • No on-site parking — There is no parking listed, and the historic center can be tricky for cars; guests may need to use public parking nearby.
  • Check-in ends at 23:00 — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 23:00, so late arrivals need to plan accordingly.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so travelers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
