–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms are basic, even if comfortable — This is a hostel-style property, not a full-service hotel. Amenities are minimal – no mention of room service, and dining options are limited to what's in the shared kitchen and nearby restaurants.
- Some guests found staff pushy with tours — One review noted that while staff were knowledgeable, they seemed more interested in making a commission on tour bookings. This suggests you may need to hold your ground on extras.
- Valet parking only – no self-parking option — The policies list valet parking as the parking option, which may involve extra cost and coordination. The property also doesn't allow pets.
- Check-in window is narrow — Check-in is only between 12:30 and 18:00. If your flight arrives late, you'll need to make alternative plans or coordinate with the hostel.
