Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which may be limiting for some travellers.
- Smaller rooms in some options — The Compact Double Ensuite is likely compact, as the name suggests, which may not suit those needing extra space.
- Check-in window limited — Check-in is only from 13:00 to 22:00, which could be inconvenient for late arrivals, though late check-in may be requested (per one review).
- No air conditioning — The property lists only heating, which may be a consideration during warmer months.
