Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • Facilities scoring is notably weaker — The 'Facilities' category scores 5.5, the lowest of all rating categories, suggesting the on-site amenities beyond the spa and restaurant may feel limited compared to other hotels.
  • Compact room sizes are typical for the area — Rooms are small by Western standards, with some 'Double Room Small Double Bed' options featuring a single bed. Travelers expecting spacious accommodations may find the space tight.
  • Check-out is at 10:00 — The hotel requires guests to check out by 10:00, which is earlier than some other properties and may feel rushed for those planning a leisurely morning.
