Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Breakfast is not a buffet — Guests choose between two set options rather than a self-serve spread, which may disappoint those expecting variety.
- Located in a business area away from the historic centre — Quieter but requires a taxi to reach main sights, which adds a step for leisure travellers.
- Mixed impressions of neighbourhood safety — One review notes the area as unsafe, though the hotel ensures guest safety; another says the area around the hotel was safe.
- Moderate overall rating — At 7.7, the hotel scores below the local area average of 8.1, suggesting some inconsistency.
