Worth weighing

  • Limited on-site parking — The hotel does not list parking as an amenity, so guests arriving by car may need to use public parking nearby or consider alternative transport.

  • Potential for street noise — The central location near the train station could mean some traffic or station-related noise, though guests generally describe the hotel as quiet.
