Worth weighing

  • Check-in window limited to evening — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 23:59, which may be inconvenient for late-night arrivals or early flights.
  • No major landmarks in immediate vicinity — While the location is praised for nightlife and transport, the property is 1.7 km from Vaci Street and not right next to major attractions, requiring a walk or transit.
  • Guest ratings for category 7 (8.5) are lower — One rating category (cat7) scored 8.5, lower than others, suggesting possible minor issues in that area, though specifics are not detailed.
