Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Rooms and service rated below average — Guest ratings for Rooms and Service are 6.3 and 6.3 respectively, while the General rating is 6.1. This suggests that while some guests have great experiences, consistency may vary.
- Value rating is modest — The Value category scores 6.2, indicating that some guests may not find the price-to-quality ratio as strong as others do, despite some positive comments.
- Check-in window is fairly late — Check-in begins at 14:30 and ends at 23:59, so if you arrive earlier, you may need to wait or arrange early check-in separately.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so travelers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Some rooms lack certain amenities — Budget King Room has no listed amenities (no sea view, balcony, or air conditioning), and the Duplex Studio does not have a sea view. Guests may want to confirm room features before booking.
