Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Small, single-room layout — As a one-room studio, there is no separate bedroom or living area, which may not suit travellers wanting more privacy or space.
  • Late check-in window — Check-in begins at 17:00 and closes at 23:59, which could be inconvenient for early arrivals or late-night flights.
  • No on-site reception — With key access only, there is no front desk to assist with luggage storage or immediate queries during the day.
  • Mixed category rating — One category scores only 7.5, suggesting some aspects of the stay may be less consistent than the overall rating implies.
