Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Small property with limited facilities — With only 20 rooms, the hotel feels intimate, but there's no on-site restaurant or gym, and the lack of a lift may be a consideration for some.
  • Potential street noise from the lively area — The hotel sits in a bustling district with nearby clubs, and while upper-floor rooms are calmer, lower floors might pick up some noise.
  • Check-in hours may be tight — Check-in is limited to 14:00–23:59, and check-out is 09:00–12:00, which could be restrictive for early arrivals or late departures.
