Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Check-in is limited to afternoon hours — The reception is only staffed from 14:00 to 20:30, so late arrivals need to plan ahead.
- Comfort rating lags behind other categories — While rooms score high, the overall comfort category is rated lower, which may reflect basic furnishings or noise from the old building.
- Parking costs extra — Private parking is available for EUR 14 per day, which adds to the nightly rate. Guests also mention the location can be tricky to find by car.

The owners were fantastic throughout our four-night stay, even giving us free juice and water. When my son fell ill, they kindly drove us to two different hospitals on separate days. Wonderful people, great service, and a great facility.”
