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). 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.

A snack bar, self parking for a fee and a spa nearby
The hotel has a snack bar and deli, and self parking for a fee. A health or beauty spa is nearby; it is not one of the hotel's own facilities.
Check-in from 14:00, and no children or pets
Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out is until 12:00. Children are not allowed, and pets are not allowed. For a traveller planning a stay with a child or a pet, this rules the hotel out whatever the room.
Doubles for two adults and rooms for adult groups
For two adults, any of the doubles works: the 15 m² pair is the compact choice, while the 25 m² rooms give more space, and the Double Room, Balcony adds a city view. Three adults can take the Economy Double Room, the Standard Double or Twin Room, or the Double Room, Balcony, each of which sleeps up to 3.
Larger adult groups can spread out across the Standard Quadruple Room's double bed and two bunk beds, or the Family Room's two twin beds and sofa bed. Anyone who wants a spa as part of the hotel itself should note that the spa is nearby, not the hotel's own.
