Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Facilities score is modest — The facilities rating sits at 6.6, the lowest category, so on-site amenities are limited beyond the basics.
- Distance from the main square — The hotel is 3.3 km from Custom's Square, so you'll need a short drive or taxi to reach the historic center.
- No pets allowed — If you're traveling with an animal, this isn't the place — the policy is strictly no pets.
