–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements if traveling with an animal.
- Limited room variety — There are just three room types — a studio, a standard apartment, and a triple room — so larger groups or families may find options limited.
- Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in runs from 14:00 to 23:59, so if you arrive after midnight you'll need to arrange late arrival with the front desk.
- Value rating is the lowest category — While the overall rating is strong, the value-for-money score is slightly below the other categories, suggesting some guests found the price a touch high for what's offered.
