Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • One-bedroom layout — The apartment is listed as a one-room unit with two single beds, though one review mentions two bedrooms – confirming the larger space isn't guaranteed.
  • Check-in window ends at midnight — Express check-in is available, but the standard check-in only runs from 12:00 to 23:59 – late arrivals after midnight won't be accommodated.
  • No pets allowed — The apartment does not accept pets, which limits options for travelers with animals.
  • Reception not on-site 24/7 — While the property advertises 24-hour reception, it's an apartment rather than a hotel – so the reception service is likely virtual or limited.
