Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Request a room on the lower floors if carrying heavy luggage, as the stone staircase is very steep.

  • 02

    Plan your arrival carefully: check-in closes at 21:00, so coordinate travel accordingly.

  • 03

    Use the private parking nearby (€28/day) only if driving; walk or take a tram for city-centre trips instead.
