Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Request a room away from the bar area if you are sensitive to noise, as ground-floor music can be heard until late.

  • 02

    Bring earplugs and a personal fan during warmer months, as rooms lack air conditioning and small fans may be insufficient.

  • 03

    Use the luggage storage if arriving before check-in, since check-in is at a different building and stairs may be involved.

  • 04

    Plan breakfast at nearby cafés or use the shared kitchen, as no breakfast is served on-site.
