  • No on-site parking — There is no parking listed, so guests arriving by car will need to find nearby options. The nearest bus station is a 15-minute walk away.
  • Pets are not allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements for traveling with an animal.
  • Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:59, so late-night arrivals may need to plan accordingly.
