Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Price and service rated lower — Guests rate price and service slightly below other categories, suggesting some may find value less compelling compared to rooms, location, or dining.
  • Limited room options for some travellers — While there are family and triple rooms, single rooms have only a single bed and some rooms lack air conditioning (only the King Room has it).
  • Public transport needed for city centre — Although the location is praised, the hotel is not within walking distance to the main attractions – a short bus ride or drive is required.
