Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Average guest rating of 7.7 / 10 — While many reviews are positive, the overall score sits below the area average of 8.7, suggesting some inconsistency in guest experience.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accommodate pets, which may be a limitation for travelers with animals.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 20:00, which may be inconvenient for those arriving later in the evening.
  • A bit far from the metro — While a bus stop is nearby, the closest metro station is not within immediate walking distance, as one guest noted.
