In brief

What works, what to weigh

+

Strengths

4 reasons to book

Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • WiFi can be inconsistent — A few guests noted that WiFi signal strength varied within the rooms, which may affect streaming or video calls.
  • Modest room ratings — Rooms score a 6.9, slightly below the hotel's overall rating, so expectations should be realistic about size and finish.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so you'll need alternative arrangements if travelling with an animal.
  • Check-in starts at 13:00 — If you arrive early, you may need to wait or use luggage storage until the official check-in time of 1 PM.
