Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Night noise from the square — The central location means it can be lively at night, and some guests noted noise.
  • Private bathroom not always en suite — Some rooms listed with 'private external bathroom' mean the bathroom is not inside the room, which can be a surprise if not read carefully.
  • Mixed ratings on value — While many find it good value, the overall rating (7.2) is below the area average (8.8), suggesting inconsistent experiences.
  • Limited amenities in some rooms — Basic dormitories and some private rooms lack extras like city views or mini-bar, which are only available in select room types.
