Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms rate below the hotel's overall score — Guest ratings for the rooms (7.1) and value (7.0) are lower than the overall rating (7.8), suggesting some visitors find the accommodations or pricing less impressive.
- No on-site parking — The hotel does not list parking among its amenities, which could be a challenge for guests arriving by car in the old city.
- Check-in window starts at 15:00 — Check-in is from 15:00 to 23:59, which might be inconvenient for early arrivals, though the 24-hour reception and luggage storage help mitigate this.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which may be a drawback for travellers wanting to bring their animals along.
