Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Rooms can feel compact — Some guests found the bathrooms tight, especially in rooms marketed as singles, and thought sharing could be a squeeze.
- Cleanliness and room condition draw mixed feedback — Rooms and cleanliness scored 6/10, the lowest category, indicating some inconsistency in upkeep or housekeeping.
- Value for money is moderate — The price-and-service rating sits at 7/10, suggesting the experience is good but may not always feel like a bargain for the class.
- No pets allowed — The hotel does not accept pets, so travellers with animals will need to look elsewhere.
- Reception hours are limited — Check-in runs only from 15:00 to 22:00, which may be restrictive for late arrivals.
