Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Limited communal facilities — One guest noted the lack of a communal area, though it wasn't an issue for them. The property is described as a hostel, so common spaces may be minimal.
- No elevator — The hotel has a lift according to amenities, but one guest mentioned there was no elevator; this might mean stairs are required for some rooms or there is a discrepancy.
- Potential noise from street — While one guest said rooms were quiet despite street proximity, another noted the hotel is near a street, so light sleepers might want to request a quieter room.
- Basic breakfast and room setup — The breakfast is described as simple – fruit, small fry, bread, unlimited tea/coffee. Rooms are functional but not luxurious, fitting the budget category.
