Worth weighing

3 to weigh
  • No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, which may be a constraint for travellers with animals.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in only runs from 13:00 to 22:00, so late arrivals could be an issue.
  • Mixed comfort scores — While rooms rate 8.9, the 'cat7' category is only 7.5 — a signal some guests found certain aspects less polished.
