Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only available between 15:00 and 23:00, which may be restrictive for late arrivals. The hotel’s 11:00 check-out time is standard but not flexible.
- Mixed review ratings on some stays — While the average rating is 8.2, some individual reviews scored as low as 5 out of 10, though the specific complaints were not detailed. This suggests experiences can vary.
- Basic 2-star amenities — As a budget property, it lacks extras like a fitness center or on-site restaurant. Room amenities are functional rather than luxurious, with no mention of room service or minibars.
