In brief

What works, what to weigh

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Busy location with street noise — The prime spot next to the cable car means buses and crowds can gather in front, which some guests noted as a minor disturbance.
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, which may be a drawback for travelers with animals.
  • Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only available between 15:00 and 23:59, so late arrivals outside these hours would need to plan accordingly.
  • Basic room amenities — Rooms are described as simple with essential amenities, but not luxurious. Some rooms lack a sitting area or kettle, and the decor is basic.
