Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Comfort rating is the lowest category — Guest comfort scores sit at 7.1, notably below other categories, which may reflect noise or bedding preferences.
  • No on-site parking — The hotel does not list parking facilities, which could be a consideration if you plan to drive.
  • Strict check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 23:59, so late arrivals after midnight won't be accommodated.
  • Pets not allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so travellers with animals need to look elsewhere.
