Worth weighing
4 to weigh- One-star rating with limited facilities — As a one-star property, there are no on-site dining options beyond a snack bar, and the range of services is basic compared to higher-category hotels.
- Some guests mention noise from the busy area — The location is in a bustling district, which suits access but may come with street noise; soundproofed rooms are available as a mitigation.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which may be a drawback for travellers with animals.
- Check-in ends at 23:30 — Guests arriving later than 23:30 cannot check in that night, which may affect those on late flights.
