Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • No on-site parking — Parking is not listed, and given the central location, guests may need to use public parking or rely on the airport shuttle.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not permit pets, which may be a drawback for travelers with animals.
  • Check-in window ends at midnight — Check-in is from 15:00 to 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight may need to arrange alternative access.
  • Inconsistent room ratings — Some guests rated rooms lower, and one review mentioned a 6/10 for a Premium Loft with balcony, suggesting occasional variability in room quality.
  • Airport distance — The hotel is 10 km from the airport; while an airport shuttle is available, it may be a factor for those seeking ultra-close proximity.
