Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No pets allowed — The hotel’s policy is clear: no pets. If you’re travelling with a dog or cat, you’ll need to look elsewhere.
- Check-in window is limited — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:59. If your flight lands late or you arrive after midnight, the 24-hour reception helps, but standard check-in ends at 11:59 PM.
- Value rating is decent but not stellar — While rooms and service score 9+, the value category sits at 8.9 and general at 8.5. Some guests might find the price-point average for the area.
- Limited in-room amenities in some categories — Some room types list only shower, heating, and air conditioning – no bathtub or extra features. If a bath is a must, pick a room that includes it.
