In brief
What works, what to weigh

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Lower general score — While individual categories like rooms and service score high, the overall General rating of 7.9 is the lowest, suggesting the property may not feel polished in all aspects.
- Paid parking nearby — Parking is available but not free; given the central old-town location, you may need to use a paid public car park or the hotel's arrangement.
- Small scale — With just a few room types and no fitness centre or pool, this is a compact property that may not suit those wanting resort-like facilities.
