Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Location not for first-timers — The hotel is on the Asian side, away from the main historic sites and tourist hubs of the European side, which some guests may find inconvenient.
  • Rooms could be more polished — While generally clean, the room quality rating is the lowest among categories, suggesting some guests find the rooms not perfect.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 23:59, which may be restrictive for late-night arrivals or early check-in requests.
