Worth weighing
3 to weigh- Late evening check-in only until 23:30 — If you're arriving very late, the check-in window ends at 11:30 PM, though guests who arrived late found the self-check-in process straightforward.
- No dedicated parking — The property doesn't list any parking options, so if you're driving you may need to find public parking nearby.
- Mixed rating at 7.4 — With an average score just above 7, some guests clearly had less favourable stays even though the written reviews are largely positive.
