Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight won’t be possible.
  • No pets allowed — The guesthouse does not accept pets, which may be a drawback for those travelling with animals.
  • No on-site parking — There is no parking listed, so you’ll need to rely on public transport or nearby paid parking, which can be challenging in the historic centre.
  • Street noise possible — Given the prime location in a lively nightlife area, some rooms may pick up street noise, especially in the evenings.
