How we score
Each score is worked out by code from the facts this page shows, never from guests’ ratings or a writer’s opinion, and is given as 1 to 5 dots.
Near the sights: how close the nearest listed sight is, and how many are within 1 km. Rooms: the room sizes we show and how many types there are. Facilities: how many kinds the hotel lists (dining, pool or spa, fitness, front desk services, comfort and access). Families: whether children are welcome, and family rooms, a kids’ club or pool, a playground, babysitting. Wellness: spa, hammam, sauna, steam room, pools, gym and massage.
A score is left out when the hotel’s facts are too few to judge it.

Three double rooms: 10 m² up to a 30 m² balcony room
All three room types sleep up to three. The Standard Double Room without Windows is the smallest at 10 m², with one double bed and no window; it suits a couple on a short stay who plan to be out most of the day. The Double Room with Balcony adds a street view and a balcony for the same double bed, at 13 m².
The Deluxe Double Room with Balcony is the outlier: 30 m², a queen bed and a street-view balcony, three times the floor area of the standard room. A couple with a child fits any of the three rooms, since each sleeps up to three.

| Deluxe Double Room with Balcony | 30 m² | 1 queen bed | up to 3 | street view |

A hotel that runs on a small scale
With three room types, this is a hotel that runs on a small scale.
Check-in from 15:00, check-out until 11:00, and the house rules
- Check-in from 15:00; check-out until 11:00
- Children are allowed
- Pets are not allowed
Who Elephant In The Room suits, and who it does not
For couples, or up to three people sharing one room, the hotel works: every room type sleeps up to three, children are allowed, and a family of three fits in any single room. The Deluxe Double Room with Balcony is the pick for anyone who wants space; the 10 m² Standard Double Room without Windows suits a short stay where the room is only for sleeping.
It does not suit pet owners, since pets are not allowed. It also does not suit travellers for whom a window is a minimum: one of the three room types has none, so the choice of room matters more here than at most hotels.
