Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only between 14:00 and 22:00, which may be restrictive for late arrivals.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
  • Some rooms share bathrooms — A few room types, including the Twin and Standard Triple, do not list private bathrooms, so guests should check room details carefully.
  • No on-site parking — Parking is not listed as an amenity, and given the central location, guests arriving by car may need to find public parking.
