Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Street-level noise potential — Despite soundproofing, the hotel sits on a main road with constant tram and bus activity. Light sleepers may still notice some ambient noise.
  • Rooms can be compact — Some guests describe the double rooms as 'small' or 'little', which might feel tight for those expecting spacious accommodation.
  • Limited breakfast variety — While breakfast is described as 'good', there’s no mention of a wide spread – expectations should be modest.
