Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only between 12:00 and 20:00, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals. Guests who arrive outside these hours need to plan accordingly.
- No pets allowed — Pets are not permitted at this hotel, so travelers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Breakfast may not suit everyone — While many guests enjoy breakfast, some mention it's basic or could have more variety, so those with specific dietary needs may want to confirm options in advance.
- Potential noise from nearby bars — The vibrant beachfront location, with a popular spot for shots a short walk away, may mean some noise, especially in the evenings.
