What works, what to weigh

+

Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Rooms can be inconsistent — Cleanliness and room quality have mixed reviews, with some guests finding rooms dated or with issues like smoke smell, despite some recently renovated units.
  • Limited soundproofing — While the hotel offers soundproofed rooms, not all reviews confirm quiet conditions. Given the central location, street noise may be a factor in some rooms.
  • Check-in ends at midnight — The check-in window is 14:00–23:59, which may be restrictive for late arrivals. There is 24-hour reception, but the stated policy suggests a cut-off time.
