Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Facilities below the 4-star average — The lowest-scoring review category, with some guests likely expecting more in terms of on-site amenities or public spaces.
- Comfort ratings lag behind — Comfort scored 7.1, the second-lowest category, suggesting room beds or quietness may not suit every guest.
- Paid parking with limited info — On-site parking costs EUR 12 per day, but details on availability or booking aren't specified, so early reservation is wise.
- Value for money questioned by some — The Value score of 7.6, while decent, sits below the hotel's overall rating, meaning some guests felt the price was a touch high.
- No clear on-site dining beyond breakfast — There's a coffee shop, but no full restaurant or bar is listed, so evening meals mean heading out to the many nearby spots.
