Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Value for money rated lower — With a Value score of 7.3 — the lowest of the rating categories — some guests may find the price less compelling than the location and service.
  • Breakfast described as just okay — One reviewer felt breakfast was fine but that street food in the area was better, so consider exploring local options.
  • No pets and limited check-in window — Pets are not allowed, and check-in is restricted to between 14:00 and 23:30, so arrange to arrive within those hours.
