Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Facilities are basic — The facilities rating is the lowest among the categories, suggesting that while the essentials are covered, the apartment lacks some extra amenities you might find in larger hotels.
  • Limited room choice — The property offers a single apartment type, which may not suit solo travelers or couples looking for a smaller, more economical option.
  • Check-in window ends late — If you're arriving very late, the official check-in window closes at 23:59, which could be restrictive for some flight schedules.
