In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

3 reasons to book
  • Rooms that guests consistently praise — Spacious, spotlessly clean, and comfortably furnished, with garden views from many rooms.

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Not in the historic center — You'll need to rely on buses or a 25-minute walk to reach the main sights, which may not suit everyone.
  • Adults-only and no pets — Families with children and pet owners cannot stay here, which is a deliberate restriction.
  • Limited room type — Only a Large Double Room with two single beds is listed, so flexibility for different group sizes is limited.
