Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Room quality is modest — With a Rooms rating of 6.0, the rooms are functional but not luxurious. Some guests might find them basic for the price.
- Value for money could be better — The Value rating sits at 5.9, suggesting some guests feel the price doesn't fully match the experience, though many still find it acceptable for the location.
- Breakfast can have waiting times — Due to a small kitchen staff, the rooftop breakfast may involve a wait, as noted by a guest. The food itself is generally well received.
- No on-site parking — The hotel does not list parking as an amenity, which could be a challenge for guests arriving by car in the busy old town.
