Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, which may be a limitation for travellers with animals.
  • Check-in window ends at 23:30 — Arrivals must be completed by 23:30, so late-night landings could be tricky unless arranged in advance.
  • Parking is not on-site — Parking is available in a private garage nearby, not directly at the property, which may require a short walk with luggage.
  • Limited public areas — As apartments rather than a hotel, there's no lobby or common lounge; the experience is self-contained.
