Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Basic one-star facilities — This is a 1-star hotel, so expect simple rooms and no extras like a pool or gym. The accommodation is clean and comfortable rather than luxurious.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, you'll need to look elsewhere, as the hotel does not accept pets.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:59, so if you arrive late or early, you may need to make special arrangements.
  • Not in the city centre — The hotel is in a residential area, so reaching the main sights requires a car or taxi. Guests note it's a short drive or ride to the centre.
