Worth weighing

  • Shared bathrooms in many rooms — Several room types, including the King Room and Single Room, come with shared bathroom facilities rather than private en-suites.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only available between 15:00 and 18:00, which may be restrictive for travellers arriving later in the day.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so those travelling with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Value and comfort ratings slightly lower — While the overall rating is solid, Value and Comfort score a notch below other categories, suggesting some guests find the price-to-comfort ratio or bed comfort less exceptional.
