Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Comfort rating lags other categories — While rooms and service earn 9.7, comfort is rated 8.3 — the lowest category. Some rooms are windowless, which may affect light and airiness.
  • No on-site parking mentioned — The property doesn't list parking among its amenities, so guests arriving by car may need to arrange alternatives nearby.
  • Check-out window is early — Check-out runs from 01:00 to 12:00, so late risers may need to plan ahead. The check-in window is 14:00 to 23:30, not 24 hours.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel is pet-free, which may be a drawback for travellers wanting to bring their animals.
