Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No on-site parking — The hotel does not list parking among its amenities, and given its central Old City location, guests arriving by car may need to rely on public parking or alternative transport.
  • Compact room sizes — Several guests describe the rooms as compact, particularly the single and budget doubles, which may feel tight for those expecting spacious accommodations.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel's policy does not permit pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Check-in window until midnight — Check-in is from 14:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight may need to make special arrangements.
