Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Possible noise from the street — Rooms facing the street offer views but may pick up sounds from the busy tourist area below. If quiet is a priority, consider requesting a room away from the front.
  • Limited room availability — With only 8 rooms, the hotel is often fully booked, so plan well ahead if you want to stay here.
  • Parking costs extra — Public parking is available nearby but costs EUR 19 per day, which adds to the overall bill if you arrive by car.
  • Mixed value perception — Some guests felt the experience was excellent value, while others rated it lower – the price-to-service balance may depend on your expectations for the room rate.
