Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No on-site parking listed — Car park is not mentioned in the property amenities, so guests arriving by car may need to find alternative parking nearby.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so you'll need to make other arrangements for your animal companion.
- Check-in window is strict — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 23:59, which might be inconvenient for late arrivals or early check-in requests.
- Limited room variety — With just three room types offered, options are basic, and the family room maxes out at a queen-size bed.
