In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Mixed location for some — While close to the station, a few guests felt it was a 10-minute walk to the old city, which wasn't ideal for them.
  • Breakfast could be more varied — One guest suggested adding orange juice to the breakfast, hinting at a limited selection.
  • Check-in ends at midnight — Check-in is from 13:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight might face issues.
  • Rated below area average — With an overall rating of 7.8 compared to the area average of 8.6, it's decent but not top-tier.
