Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Compact space — At 40 m², the apartment is best suited to couples or solo travellers who don't need a lot of room.
  • Check-in window ends at midnight — Self check-in is available until 23:59, so very late arrivals may need to plan ahead.
  • No pets allowed — The apartment does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • General rating lower than other categories — While specific categories scored high, the overall 'General' category is 7.8—still solid, but slightly below the overall hotel rating.
