Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Unremarkable first impression — With a 7.3 overall rating, it's a solid but not outstanding choice—guests mainly praise location and staff over standout design.
  • Compact rooms — Some guests describe 'modern compact rooms'—fine for a short stay but not spacious for longer visits.
  • Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in is from 15:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight aren't accommodated—plan your travel accordingly.
