Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 20:30, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals, though some guests mention a late check-in was possible by arrangement.
  • No pets allowed — The apartment does not accept pets, which may be a drawback for travellers with animals.
  • Not a traditional hotel — There is no on-site reception or daily housekeeping; it's a self-catering apartment with key handover, so guests looking for full hotel services may need to adjust.
