Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Noise from the nightlife area — The hotel is in a lively, busy neighbourhood, and one guest specifically noted it's noisy at night due to nearby markets and attractions.
- Compact rooms — The rooms are small and minimalistic – one guest noted the Standard Twin Room maximized space, implying it's tight. This may not suit those seeking larger accommodation.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 23:59, which may be restrictive for late-night arrivals.
- No on-site parking — The hotel does not list parking facilities, which could be a drawback for those driving – although the central location and subway access reduce the need.
