Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Compact cabins, not standard rooms — Rooms are essentially capsule-style cabins, which some guests note are 'cozy' – best for travellers who pack light.
- Adults-only policy — The hotel is adults-only, so it's not suitable for families with children.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is strictly between 17:00 and 23:59, which may be tight for some flight schedules.
- No on-site parking — No parking is available, so guests relying on cars may need alternatives.
