Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Rooms may feel dated or basic — Some guests might find the rooms simple, with only shower and heating listed as amenities. Ratings for Comfort (6.9) and Rooms (7.2) are on the lower side.
  • Check-in window is tight — Check-in is only available from 15:00 to 23:30, which might not suit late arrivals. There's no 24-hour check-in, only a 24-hour front desk.
  • No parking on site — The hotel doesn't list parking as an amenity. Guests noted that staff can arrange parking, but it's not guaranteed on-site.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this isn't the place – the hotel clearly states no pets are allowed on site.
