Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited reception hours — Check-in is only between 15:30 and 22:00, so arriving outside that window may be an issue.
  • Compact rooms — Some guests note the rooms are on the small side, though clean and well-designed.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if travelling with an animal.
  • No on-site parking mentioned — Parking information isn't provided; in the old town, you may need to rely on public parking nearby.
