Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms can be compact — While reviews praise cleanliness, the overall room rating is a bit lower than other categories, suggesting that some guests may find the rooms small or basic for the price.
- No pets allowed — The hotel has a strict no-pets policy, so you'll need to make other arrangements if traveling with an animal.
- Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only available from 14:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals may need to plan ahead or contact the 24-hour reception for special arrangements.
