Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Rooms can feel dated to some — While reviews are mostly positive, a few note that rooms are 'new-fashioned' or 'stylish' but may not all be renovated. There is no mention of major issues, but some guests found the decor not to their taste.
- Public transport connections can be limited — One guest noted that public transportation options were limited, although the metro is within walking distance for some. This may affect those relying on buses or trains beyond the metro.
- Potential for minor in-room issues — One review mentioned ants in the room and a tricky Wi-Fi connection, though the internet was fast once connected. This reflects occasional housekeeping or connectivity hiccups.
- Check-in window ends at 23:00 — Check-in is available from 15:00 to 23:00, which may be inconvenient for late-night arrivals.
- Some rooms may lack views — Standard rooms do not include sea views, and only superior or oceanfront rooms offer them. Guests expecting a view may need to book up.
