Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Rooms can be small — Some guests have noted that rooms, especially the Junior Suite, are compact and may feel designed for one person rather than two.
  • Service and value received mixed feedback — The price and service category scored 6 out of 10, lower than other aspects, suggesting occasional inconsistencies in service or perceived value.

“Stayed one night and had dinner at the rooftop restaurant. Liked the view of the street. The staff were welcoming and very friendly. The location was particularly good, close to a tram station. Also enjoyed the nearby harem's cafe restaurant, which served my favourite coffee.”

“The bathroom was really nice and the room itself was nice, though small – I think it was designed for one person.”
