Worth weighing

  • Mixed reviews on room size — Some guests found the rooms spacious and comfortable, while a family of four noted it was fine but not as spacious as expected.
  • Check-in window limits flexibility — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 22:00, which may be restrictive for late arrivals.
