Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited check-in hours — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 20:00, which may be restrictive for late arrivals.
- Breakfast not for early risers — Breakfast starts at 7:00, though one guest noted staff provided a small early service on request.
- Value for money could be better — Value scores 7.4, the lowest category, and the price of EUR 124 per night may feel high for a 3-star in a suburb.
- Limited staff presence — One review notes that attendance at the hotel is limited, which could mean less immediate assistance at times.
