  • Reception staff inconsistency — While service is generally praised, one guest noted that the reception staff were the exception to an otherwise excellent experience.
  • Facilities rating below other categories — The facilities category received a 7.7 rating, lower than other aspects like service and rooms, which may indicate dated or less comprehensive amenities.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only available between 16:00 and 23:30, which may be inconvenient for guests arriving at other times, particularly given the hotel's pilgrimage context.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which could be a limitation for travelers with animals.
