Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Basic facilities — As a one-star property, don't expect extensive amenities. The facilities rating is the lowest at 7.1, and there's no on-site restaurant (only a coffee shop).
- Mixed dining experience — While some guests found the location convenient, the Dining rating is the second lowest at 7.3, and the coffee shop may not suit all tastes.
- Limited room variety — Only three room types are offered, and the Standard Twin has a balcony but others don't. Triple and quadruple rooms have just a shower and AC.
- No pets allowed — The hotel doesn't permit pets, which could be a constraint for some travelers.
