Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Mixed value perception — Value for money scores slightly below other categories, suggesting some guests feel the price doesn't always match the experience, though room rates are described as reasonable by others.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 19:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals. Check-out is also early, between 08:00 and 10:00.
- No pets allowed — The property does not permit pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Some apartments have twin beds only — Room options include two single beds in several configurations, which may not suit couples seeking a double or queen bed.
