Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms are on the small side — Several guests note the rooms are compact, which is typical for the area but may feel tight for those used to more space.
- Train noise possible due to nearby tracks — The hotel is close to the railway, and some guests mention that earplugs help on busier nights, though the soundproofing appears to mitigate it.
- Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 22:00, which may be inconvenient for travellers arriving later in the evening.
