Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Lower facilities rating — The hotel's facilities score is notably lower than other categories, suggesting that common areas or amenities may feel basic or dated compared to the rest of the experience.
- No pets allowed — Guests traveling with pets will need to make other arrangements, as the hotel explicitly prohibits pets on the property.
- Check-in window starts at 13:00 — The earliest check-in is 1 PM, which may be inconvenient for early arrivals. However, the 24-hour reception and luggage storage can help bridge the wait.
- Possible street noise in front rooms — While the hotel offers soundproofed rooms, some guests recommend requesting a room facing the front street for the view, which may come with some street activity noise.
