Worth weighing
3 to weigh- No on-site parking — The guesthouse doesn't list parking, so those arriving by car will need to sort out a nearby public option or use public transport.
- Breakfast is an extra charge — Breakfast runs around €8 and is not included in the base rate. Some travellers may find this added cost a small surprise.
- Check-in window is clearly defined — Arrivals are between 14:30 and 23:59. If your flight or train lands later, you'll need to coordinate with the 24-hour desk in advance.
