Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Value for money — With a value rating of 7.8, some guests may find the price point higher than expected for the class, though this is balanced by the location and amenities.
- Possible noise from surroundings — Although the rooms have thick windows to block noise, the hotel's central location near the theater and busy streets might still be noticeable to light sleepers.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 16:00, which may be inconvenient for guests arriving earlier or later, though the 24-hour reception can assist with late arrivals.
- Mixed experiences with room amenities — While many guests enjoyed their rooms, one review rated their stay lower, potentially reflecting varying room quality or expectations.
