Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Thin walls between rooms — Several guests recommend bringing earplugs, as noise carries despite the quiet street outside.
- Check-in window is fixed — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:59 – if you arrive late or need flexibility, you'll need to plan around this.
- Some staff have limited English — While friendly and helpful, not all staff speak English fluently – guests note the language barrier, though service remains strong.
- Basic room amenities — Rooms feature showers but little else – expect a no-frills stay, with the focus on communal spaces.
