–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only possible between 15:00 and 19:00, which may be tight if you’re arriving on a late flight or train. Plan to arrive within these hours.
- Rooms and cleanliness rated lower — While guests praise the space and equipment, the rooms and cleanliness category scores a 6 out of 10 — the lowest of all rating areas.
- No on-site restaurant — Breakfast is available and rated well, but the hotel does not list a restaurant among its amenities, so other meals need to be taken nearby or prepared in the kitchenette.
