Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Away from the centre — The hotel sits in a quiet residential area, so you'll need to factor in travel time to reach the main sights – about 10 minutes by car to the Albertina Palace.
- Breakfast can get crowded — While the breakfast itself earns praise, guests note the dining area gets busy at peak times.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only available between 12:00 and 19:00, which may be restrictive for late arrivals.
