Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Comfort rating slightly below other categories — While rooms are praised for style and space, the comfort score is a notch lower, suggesting some guests may find beds or furnishings less plush.
- Breakfast coffee must be requested — At breakfast, hot coffee isn't automatically served – you need to ask, which can feel a bit inconvenient.
- Reception not 24-hour? — Check-in is only until 23:59, and the hotel lists '24-hour reception' – but some guests arriving late might find limited service.
