Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Mixed room quality reports — While many find rooms comfortable and functional, a few reviews mention the bar being paid separately, and not all rooms may match expectations.
  • Adults only – not for families — The property does not accept children, which may be a drawback for those travelling with family.
  • No pets allowed — If you travel with a pet, this is not the place – pets are not permitted on site.
  • Limited soundproofing might be an issue — Given the central location near bars and restaurants, some guests might experience street noise, though this is not explicitly mentioned in reviews.
