What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths

–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms and cleanliness rated lower — Guests rate rooms and cleanliness at 7/10, below the hotel's overall score, suggesting some rooms may not fully match the rest of the experience.
- Not in the immediate center — The hotel is 2.6 km from the Cathedral and a 15-25 minute walk to parts of the historic center, so you'll rely on buses or a car for some sightseeing.
- Limited on-site dining — The hotel has a bar and lounge but no full restaurant, so dinner options are limited to nearby eateries or a trip into the center.
