Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Basic 2-star facilities — The hotel is a simple 2-star property with limited on-site amenities—no pool, gym or restaurant. There's a shared kitchen and vending machines but little else.
- Some inconsistency in staff mood — While most reviews praise the staff, one guest noted a few staff members seemed miserable, which pulls the overall Service score to 8.1.
- Value rating is the lowest category — Although rooms and comfort score high, Value sits at 7.8, suggesting some guests feel the price is slightly high for what's offered.
- Check-in window ends at 22:30 — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 22:30, which could be inconvenient for late arrivals, though the 24-hour reception is available after.
