Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms can feel compact — Cleanliness and room quality score 7/10. Several guests note that rooms are small, though typical for European city hotels.
- Evening atmosphere in the immediate area — While the square is lively during the day, one solo female traveller described the surroundings as 'a bit sketchy' after dark.
- Strict afternoon check-in window — Check-in is from 14:00 to 23:59, which may not suit early arrivals. Early access is sometimes possible but not guaranteed.
