–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Basic rooms, not luxurious — Guests described the rooms as basic and functional for a short stay – expect simplicity over style. The hotel's 2-star rating and the emphasis on value in reviews reflect this.
- Limited reception hours for check-out — Check-out is set for 07:00, which is early and may be inconvenient for guests expecting a later morning departure.
- Check-in window starts at 08:00 — The check-in period runs from 08:00 to 23:59, which means no early morning arrivals – a potential issue for those on overnight transport.
