Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Potential noise at night — Being in the lively Old Town, some guests note that you might hear noise at night. It's great for those who want to be in the action, but light sleepers may want earplugs.
- Shared bathrooms possible — Some rooms may have shared bathroom facilities. They're kept clean, but it's worth confirming the room type if you prefer en-suite.
- No parking or pets — There's no on-site parking, and pets are not allowed. The lack of parking might be a consideration if you're driving into the city.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 13:00 and 20:00, which might be restrictive if you're arriving later in the evening.
