Pros
The Golden Lion Hotel has operated as a local bed and breakfast since the 17th century.
Accessible parking spaces are available on-site.
The entire property is non-smoking.
Cons
The front door is locked from 00:00 to 07:00; guests requiring late entry must arrange in advance.

“The location here is quite convenient, and the check-in process, managed through door codes, feels remarkably efficient. For the price, this place is surprisingly clean and well-equipped with the basics, offering good value that would certainly have me considering a return stay.”
