Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Breakfast is basic — While a complimentary breakfast is offered, one guest described it as 'quite basic' though still good value.
- Neighbourhood is commercial, not quaint — The hotel sits in a busy commercial area with shops and eateries; some travellers may find it less atmospheric than the old-town core.
- Value score is the lowest category — At 7.4, Value lags behind Rooms (7.7) and Service (7.6), suggesting some guests feel the price-to-experience ratio could be better.

The metro, bus stop, and tram were just a few steps away, making city exploring very convenient. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful throughout, always ready to assist, with a special thanks to Shahin for his exceptional service. The bed was incredibly comfortable, with soft pillows and linen that made for a peaceful night's sleep. The hotel provided enhanced comfort and quality services, and I couldn't be happier.”
