What works, what to weigh

Strengths

Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Rooms and cleanliness scored lower — The lowest rating category is Rooms and cleanliness at 7.0, suggesting some guests found the rooms or upkeep less impressive than other aspects.
- Potential for street noise — Given the central location on a square near a metro, some rooms may experience street noise. No explicit complaint, but the position suggests it.
- No pets allowed — Pets are not permitted, so travelers with animals will need to make other arrangements.

Thanks all for the excellent stay during non all-inclusive holidays.”
