Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Potential street noise at night — Some guests reported noise from outside late at night and early in the morning, which may affect light sleepers despite the generally peaceful atmosphere.
- Breakfast can be repetitive — While the breakfast is good, a few guests noted that the selection stayed similar each day, which might become monotonous on longer stays.
- Price point may be high for the value — Compared to similar 5-star options elsewhere, some felt the price was steep, especially when considering the overall service and facilities.
- Limited in-room amenities in standard rooms — Basic rooms like the Single and Double lack a coffee machine and bathtub, which are only available in higher-tier suites. This may be a factor for those seeking extra comfort.
