Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • Noise from nearby bars — The lively old town location means some guests hear loud music from bars at night.
  • Limited power outlets in rooms — Some guests found a lack of power outlets in the dorm rooms.
  • Check-in window ends at 22:00 — Reception is available from 14:00 to 22:00, so late arrivals need to plan ahead.
  • Price above area average — With an average guest rating of 7.8 compared to the area average of 9.1, it may not match the polish of higher-rated properties.
  • No on-site parking — Parking is not listed, and the historic center is pedestrian-friendly, so driving guests may need to find public parking nearby.
