Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Rooftop pool is small and unheated — One guest noted the pool was not heated and small, so they couldn't actually swim in it. It's more of a scenic spot than a serious swim pool.
  • Inconsistent reception experience — While most reviews praise the staff, one guest reported a rude receptionist who contradicted a previously confirmed booking by email. Service may vary between individuals.
  • Uncomfortable pillows in some rooms — A specific review mentioned really uncomfortable pillows in a twin room with a terrace, which could affect sleep quality for some guests.
  • Limited on-site food and drink options — The hotel offers vending machines for snacks and drinks but no full restaurant or bar beyond the rooftop. Breakfast is available but not covered by all rates.
