Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms can be small — Several guests note that the rooms are compact, especially the standard options, which may feel tight for those with lots of luggage.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Public parking is nearby, not on-site — Parking is available in the vicinity but is not private to the hotel, which may be less convenient for those with a car.
- Limited on-site facilities — The hotel is compact with basic amenities – no pool or gym – which may be a drawback for some, though it focuses on core comforts.
