Worth weighing

  • Check-in window ends at 22:00 — Guests must arrive between 15:00 and 22:00, which may be inconvenient for late flights or evening arrivals.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accommodate pets, so travelers with animals need to look elsewhere.
  • 2-star simplicity — As a 2-star property, expect basic amenities rather than luxury extras like on-site parking or a full-service spa.
  • Noise from the lively neighborhood — The central location amidst bars and nightlife may bring street noise, though some guests found rooms quiet.
