Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — The property doesn't accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Limited room variety — Only a Duplex Studio is listed, which may suit couples or solo travellers but not larger groups or families.
  • Check-out window is early — Check-out is between 08:00 and 11:00, which might be tight for anyone wanting a lie-in after a late night.
  • Street-facing rooms could be noisy — The apartment overlooks the street, and central location might bring some ambient noise despite one review noting it was quiet.

The location was ideal — within walking distance of the main square and train and bus stations. There were plenty of bars, restaurants, and convenience stores nearby. The shower was good, and the kitchenette was well equipped for quick meals. TV and Wi-Fi were reliable, and the hostess was considerate, especially accommodating our late arrival.”
