–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No on-site parking — The hotel has no parking available, so guests arriving by car will need to find public options nearby.
- Possible street noise — A few guests mention some noise from the street, partly due to the central location.
- Shared bathrooms in some rooms — Several room types list a shower but no private bathroom, so guests may need to share facilities.
- Check-in ends at 23:00 — Late arrivals after 23:00 would need to arrange otherwise, as the policy specifies a 15:00–23:00 window.
