Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Small, studio-style layout — The property is a one-room apartment, so space is limited and may not suit those looking for separate sleeping and living areas.
- No pets allowed — Guests travelling with animals won't be able to stay here, as the policy is no pets.
- Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 22:00, and checkout is at 10:00, which may be inflexible for some travel plans.
- No on-site parking — There's no dedicated parking at the property, and given the Old Town setting, parking may be difficult. Guests arriving by car should plan ahead.
