Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • On-site parking is limited and paid — Parking is available but at a cost, and the central location means some guests find driving tricky.
  • Adults-only may not suit all — The hotel does not allow children or pets, which can be a drawback for families travelling with younger members.
  • Facilities rating is the weakest point — While still strong, the 'Facilities' category score (8.7) trails the hotel’s other ratings, hints that some in-room or common-area features may feel dated.
  • Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 23:59, which may be restrictive for late arrivals or early check-in requests.
