Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • No on-site restaurant or dining — The property does not list a restaurant, so meals will depend on the in-room kitchenette or nearby eateries.
  • Limited communal or leisure amenities — Aside from a garden area and 24-hour security, there are no gym, pool, or similar facilities listed.
  • Check-out is early — Standard check-out is at 10:00, which may feel early for some travellers, although late check-out appears possible on request.
  • Street-level noise potential — Being on a central street (Király Utca) near bars and restaurants, noise may be noticeable in some rooms, though several guests described it as quiet.
