- Alley location — The hotel sits in an alleyway, which some guests find charming and quiet, but it could be less straightforward to find initially.
- Key policy — One guest noted the key policy was slightly inconvenient, though they still recommended the hotel.
- Value rating slightly lower — While overall rating is 9, the Value category is 8.7, suggesting some guests might find the price a bit high for the room size or offerings.
