Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited room count — With only 24 rooms, availability can be tight, and the intimate scale may not suit those looking for a large resort feel.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel enforces a strict no-pets policy, which may be a drawback for travellers with animals.
  • Check-in window is set — Check-in is available from 15:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight may need to make arrangements.
  • Potential noise from central location — Being in the old town, guests may experience street noise, although this is not explicitly mentioned in reviews.
