Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Dining scores lower than other aspects — The dining category received a 5 out of 10, suggesting the on-site food options may not impress; a few guests mentioned a free breakfast, but overall dining satisfaction is mixed.
- No pets allowed — Despite one review mentioning three dogs, the property policy states pets are not allowed, so plan accordingly.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 13:00 to 18:00, which could be restrictive for guests arriving outside those hours, though staff may assist with late arrivals.
- Possible noise in historic area — While the location is praised, being in the historic centre may mean street noise; soundproofed rooms help, but not all rooms may have this feature.
