Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Compact rooms — Several reviews note the rooms are on the smaller side, which is typical for a city hotel at this price point.
  • Street noise can be an issue — The lively street adds atmosphere but may mean some noise, especially for rooms facing the road.
  • Limited on-site parking — Parking is available but may be limited; it's worth clarifying when booking if you plan to drive.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel has a strict no-pets policy, so you'll need to make other arrangements if traveling with an animal.

Rooms are clean but compact, and the street can be lively, but if you're out exploring most of the day, that's a fair trade-off.
