Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • A short check-in window — Check-in is limited to 15:30–18:00, which is a narrow frame compared to many city hotels. If you're arriving later, it's worth contacting the hotel ahead.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel operates a strict no-pets policy, so it won't suit travellers looking to bring their animal along.
  • Mixed value perception — While many guests find it good value, the Value rating (7.4) and one category rating (6.9) suggest that the price-point doesn't always match expectations for everyone.
