Rooms too small for the taste of some.
Some of those who stayed at Bel Air said that they found the rooms to be too small, and thought there was not much room for luggage, although others seemed to find them perfectly functional.

No elevator on site.
Guests were occasionally not impressed with the lack of an elevator in this building and disliked having to take the stairs. However, a few people mentioned that that staff members were happy to help them with their bags, so this is mainly an issue for those with restricted mobility.

Metro vibrations and a little noise.
According to reviews, a handful of people were disturbed by vibrations from the metro passing by — or from noise from the reception and other guests — so light sleepers may want to keep this in mind.
