Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Shared bathrooms in most rooms — With the exception of some private rooms, most accommodation requires using shared facilities. Cleanliness can vary with other guests, though many reviewers found them clean.
- No pets allowed — The hotel's policy does not permit pets, so those travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Check-in window ends at 22:00 — Guests must arrive between 14:00 and 22:00 for check-in, which may be restrictive for late arrivals or those with delayed flights.
- Limited room types with private baths — The property only lists a few room categories, and none explicitly include a private bathroom – a consideration for those seeking ensuite facilities.
