Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No parking on site — The hotel doesn't list parking among its amenities, so you'll need to arrange a spot nearby or use the paid airport shuttle.
- Check-in starts at 14:00 — Standard check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:59, so early arrivals may need to wait or store luggage.
- Pets not allowed — The hotel is strictly no-pets, so you'll need to leave your furry friend at home.
- Rooms at the front may be lively — Given the central location next to lively streets, some guests noted the area can be energetic – though the hotel is not explicitly noisy in reviews.
