Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Kitchen and bar service could improve — One guest specifically suggested the inn work on its kitchen and bar services, suggesting inconsistency in those areas.
  • Limited soundproofing from street noise — Some rooms have balconies overlooking the city streets, and the area's bustling nature may mean daytime noise, though this isn't directly stated by guests.
  • No window options in some rooms — The Superior Twin and Superior Double rooms are explicitly 'No Window', which may not suit travelers seeking natural light or fresh air.
  • Check-in ends at 23:59 — While reception is 24-hour, the official check-in window is 14:00–23:59, so late-night arrivals after midnight may need to arrange ahead.
