Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Check-in window ends at 23:30 — If you arrive late, you'll need to plan around the 14:00–23:30 check-in times. The front desk is open 24 hours, but official check-in stops before midnight.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel has a strict no-pets policy, so you'll need to make other arrangements for your furry companions.
  • Some rooms lack natural light — The economic basement rooms are below ground level, which may feel dark and less airy than the upper-floor options.
  • Paid airport transfer only — The airport shuttle comes at an extra cost, so factor that into your budget if you're relying on hotel transport.
