Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Room quality can vary — While generally comfortable, some guests have noted that the rooms may feel dated or less polished compared to other aspects of the stay.
- Limited on-site parking — The hotel does not list parking as an amenity, so guests arriving by car may need to use public parking nearby or consider alternative transport.
- Breakfast not always included — While many guests appreciate the breakfast, it may not be included in all room rates, and its cost adds to the overall bill.
- Potential for street noise — The central location near the train station could mean some traffic or station-related noise, though guests generally describe the hotel as quiet.
