In brief
What works, what to weigh
+

–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Facilities rated poorly — The facilities category scores just 4 out of 10, reflecting the limited on-site amenities – no pool, gym or extensive leisure options.
- Value for money is only average — The value rating sits at 6.6, and one guest noted paying US$198, which may feel steep for the basic room offering.
- Check-in window is strict — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 21:00, which could be inconvenient for late arrivals or early flights.
- Dining and breakfast are just okay — The dining rating is 6.8, lower than other categories, so the restaurant may not be a highlight for every guest.
