Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Check-in starts at 16:00 — The reception is open 24 hours, but rooms are only available from 16:00. If you arrive earlier, you'll need to plan around it.
  • Some rooms have external bathrooms — The Double Room Private External Bathroom means you may need to share or walk to facilities, which not all guests expect.
  • Popular area can get busy — Being close to the centre and transport means street life and potential noise, though the property's own area is described as quiet in reviews.

“The apartment's location was ideal, just five minutes from the bus and train station, which made getting around really easy. The owner, Edyta, was very accommodating. Having a 24-hour Tesco nearby meant we could put together great meals at the property. A memorable stay.”

“The room had a flat-screen TV and a cosy seating area, which made it feel like home. The double room came with a fridge, kettle, and a 32-inch TV – everything I needed. The apartment in the renovated century-old wooden building had a charming kitchenette and TV, full of character. The bright veranda overlooking the garden and mountains made the bedroom feel peaceful. The spacious, bright apartment had a fully equipped kitchen, so I enjoyed cooking my own meals. The double room had large windows and wooden details, giving it a rustic, inviting atmosphere. The apartment's flat-screen TV was perfect for relaxing after exploring. The electric kettle made tea and coffee easy. The comfortable sofa was great for unwinding, and the balcony let me enjoy the fresh mountain air.”
