Negative Reviews
Remote lock / entry system
The rooms use a remote locking system so guests must call reception each time they want to enter or leave; several guests found this inconvenient and occasionally unsettling.
Daily check‑in/check‑out for multi‑night stays
The requirement to check out and check back in when staying multiple nights (and sometimes to remove belongings between stays) was reported as annoying for longer stays.
Cigarette smoke and smoking rooms
Smoking is allowed and many rooms smelled of cigarette smoke — even some 'non‑smoking' rooms had a noticeable odor, which may bother non‑smokers or those with allergies.
Location and transport access
The hotel is a bit far from the nearest train station (walks of 15–20 minutes reported) and can be harder for taxis to find; public transport connections were sometimes limited.
Occasional cleanliness and service inconsistencies
A few guests reported cleanliness issues (e.g., hair in tub, signs of mold) or felt the reception experience was impersonal or less welcoming compared with expectations.
