Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Comfort scoring is notably lower — While most categories rate high, Comfort only achieves 6.6. This could indicate inconsistent room temperatures or bedding issues not mentioned in individual reviews.
- No pets allowed — If you travel with an animal, this property won't work for you. The policy explicitly prohibits pets on site.
- Reception hours are limited — Check-in is only available from 14:30 to 20:00, so plan your arrival accordingly. Late arrivals may miss the window entirely.
- Street noise possible — Being on a main street in the historic center, some noise is plausible, though no review explicitly mentions it. Light sleepers might want earplugs.
