Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Compact rooms — Several guests describe the rooms as compact, so if you prefer more space to spread out, this may feel tight.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Limited dining options — While there is room service and dinner available, breakfast is not mentioned in the input.
  • Street noise possible — Being in a lively area with bars open late, some rooms facing the street may experience noise.
