4 to weigh
  • Security and cleanliness concerns — One guest reported broken locks and mold, and felt staff communication was lacking, especially worrying for solo female travellers.
  • Firm check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 22:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
  • Early check-out — Check-out is from 07:00 to 10:00, so you'll need to be up and out relatively early.
  • No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this isn't the place.
