Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No on-site staff presence — The self-service model means there is no traditional front desk. Staff are reachable via message during limited hours, and check-in is only between 15:00 and 23:59.
- Shared bathrooms in some rooms — Some room types, like the Quintuple and Double, have shared bathroom access, which may not suit everyone.
- Staff rating slightly lower — While service rating is 8.0, the staff category is 7.7, the lowest among the rated categories, possibly reflecting the limited contact due to self-service.
- No pets and no smoking — Pets are not allowed, and the property has a no-smoking policy throughout, which may be a drawback for some.
