- Basic amenities — As a 2-star property, the hotel offers a straightforward set of facilities – no pool, no on-site restaurant (though guests praise the food, it may be from nearby eateries).
- Strict check-in window — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 23:59, which might not suit late-night arrivals or those needing flexible timing.
