Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Below-average breakfast rating — One of the lowest-rated categories is 'cat7', which may reflect the breakfast experience; a recent review specifically praised breakfast, but the overall score suggests inconsistency.
- Mixed value perception — Value for money scores 8.2, lower than other categories, and one guest rated their stay just 6/10, suggesting some may find the price high for what's offered.
- Limited soundproofing in some rooms — A few guests noted street noise in reviews, and the central location on Grodzka Street can be lively, especially in the evenings.
- Self check-in may not suit everyone — While convenient, self check-in might be less personal for those who expect a traditional hotel reception, though a 24-hour reception is still available.
