Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Small property, limited scale — With only 11 rooms, the hotel is intimate but may lack the facilities of larger hotels, such as a full restaurant or gym.
  • Suburban location — Set in a residential area, it’s a bit far from the historic center; expect to rely on public transport or taxis for sightseeing.
  • Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 23:00, which may be tight for late arrivals.
