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.

From an 11 m² single to a 27 m² deluxe room with balcony
The rooms are compact. The Standard Single Room is the smallest at 11 m², with one twin bed and space for one guest. The Standard Room and the Standard Double Room are both 13 m² with a double bed sleeping two; they differ in view, the Standard Room facing the city and the Standard Double Room the street.
Three superior options, each 17 m² and sleeping two, sit in the middle of the range: the Superior Double Room and the Superior King Room each have a queen bed and a street view, while the Superior Room has a double bed and a city view.
For three guests there are two routes. The Deluxe Double Room with Balcony comes in two versions: one at 27 m² with a double bed and a sofa bed, and one at 25 m² with a queen bed and a sofa bed; both sleep up to 3 and face the street. The Triple Room with Balcony also sleeps up to 3, on a double bed and a sofa bed. The Deluxe Room, 1 Bedroom, Balcony is furnished with a sofa bed.

What the hotel offers, and what it does not
This is a simple property rather than a resort. The practical extras are room service, a lift and an airport shuttle for a fee. The hotel's facilities do not include a restaurant, a pool or a spa, so it is a place to sleep and set out from rather than one to spend the day in.
Check-in, check-out, children and pets
Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out until 12:00. Children are not allowed and pets are not allowed, which makes the hotel adults-only in practice. Neither rule has exceptions in the hotel's own terms.
Who it suits and who it does not
The hotel suits adults travelling alone or in pairs who want a small, straightforward room and are happy to eat out. The Standard Single Room at 11 m² is enough for one traveller with light luggage; the 13 m² standard rooms and 17 m² superior rooms work for couples.
It does not suit families with children, since children are not allowed, nor anyone travelling with a pet.
