Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Party atmosphere may not suit light sleepers — The lively social scene and rooftop dance club can bring noise, especially on weekends and holidays.
- No on-site parking — The property does not list parking facilities, which could be a challenge for those arriving by car.
- Adults-only policy — Children are not accommodated, so families with kids will need to look elsewhere.
- Check-in window is relatively narrow — Check-in runs from 15:00 to 23:59, so late-night arrivals may need to plan ahead.
