In brief
What works, what to weigh

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Comfort rating is below average — The 'Comfort' category scores 6.8, notably lower than other ratings, which may point to shared-room conditions or bedding.
- Breakfast is basic and coffee costs extra — One review notes a limited breakfast selection and that the coffee machine charges extra for a café solo.
- Some reviews are overblown or contradictory — While most feedback is positive, a couple of reviews use hyperbole (e.g., psychic staff, airport next door) that should not be taken at face value.
