Worth weighing
3 to weigh- A small property with limited facilities — The guest house is described as a flat with only a few rooms, and the onsite extras are limited to a lift, vending machines, luggage storage and concierge help.
- Check-in has a cut-off — Arrivals are only accepted between 14:00 and 23:00, so travellers with late flights or trains need to factor that into their plans.
- Airport shuttle costs extra — The shuttle is paid, not included; one guest review quotes €50 for the transfer, which adds up on top of a room rate from £57.

8.8Verified guest“One of the cleanest hotels I've ever stayed in. The room was spotless and cleaned thoroughly every day. Getting to the main centre was easy, with a bus stop right outside and the metro nearby. The staff were really helpful and gave us useful information about the city. Breakfast was satisfactory. The hotel itself is very quiet, in a peaceful location. I would highly recommend it and really loved my stay.”
8.8Verified guest“The location is well connected to public transport, with a bus stop just across from the hotel.”
8.8Verified guest“The staff were accommodating and full of useful information. The rooms were very clean, and the complimentary breakfast was very nice. The location was quiet and slightly out of the way but still within walking distance of the sights. I'd recommend the airport shuttle at €50 — worth every penny. We were happy with our stay and would come back.”
