Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Facilities are basic — The hotel scores 6.9 in the facilities category, the lowest among rating categories. Guests should expect straightforward amenities rather than extras.
- Not a luxury experience — While many guests are satisfied, one review states that the place was not pleasant, and the overall rating is 7.6. The 3-star rating signals a no-frills stay.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 23:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals. Check-out is between 06:00 and 11:00.
