Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Facilities rating of 10 but no on-site restaurant — The perfect facilities score comes from the well-equipped apartments, not from hotel services like a restaurant or gym.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a dog or cat, this property isn't an option.
  • Check-in window closes at 23:59 — If you're arriving late at night, you'll need to coordinate with reception; the standard check-in window ends just before midnight.
  • Parking not confirmed — While private parking is mentioned in the description, no details or cost are specified, so if you're driving, you should confirm in advance.
