In brief
What works, what to weigh
+

–
Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Comfort rating is low — The Comfort category scores 5.5, well below other categories, suggesting some guests find the rooms less comfortable despite their size.
- Lower value rating — Value scores 7.8, the second-lowest category, so some guests may feel the price doesn't fully match the experience.
- Limited soundproofing? — No explicit soundproofing amenities are listed, and with a central location near the river and attractions, street noise could be a factor.
