Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Bustling area may not suit light sleepers — The hotel sits in a lively district known for nightlife and street food; some guests may find the neighbourhood noisy, although many note the rooms are quiet.
- Limited on-site facilities — Aside from parking and a lift, the hotel has no gym, pool, or other leisure amenities — this is a basic urban stay.
- Check-in cut-off at 23:59 — Check-in is between 13:00 and 23:59, so late-night arrivals after midnight would need alternative arrangements.
