Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Location not right in the centre — While well connected, the hotel is not in the very centre, so reaching Sol or other central areas requires a metro or bus ride.
- Street parking can be difficult on weekdays — Free street parking is available on weekends, but during the week, parking zones are paid and can be more expensive.
- Price and service rated lower than other aspects — In the rating categories, 'Price and service' scored 7, slightly lower than rooms, location, and dining.
- No strong complaints, but minor caveats — Some guests noted that rooms for families with older kids may lack privacy, and the modern decor may feel a bit sterile to some.
