Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms and cleanliness score below average — The hotel's rating for rooms and cleanliness is 7/10, notably lower than its other categories, suggesting some guests may find the rooms or housekeeping lacking in certain aspects.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accommodate pets, which may be a limitation for travellers wanting to bring their animals.
- No on-site parking — There is no mention of parking facilities, and one review notes the hotel is 1 km from Parking, which could require walking or arranging alternative parking.
- Small property size — With only 51 rooms, the hotel may feel intimate but could also mean limited availability, especially during peak seasons.
