Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Rooms can feel dated — One guest noted that the room was 'a bit old' and the bathroom lacked lighting, though this was offset by the location and service.
- Strict check-in window — Check-in is only from 16:00 to 20:00, which may be tricky for those arriving later in the evening.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this hotel isn't suitable.
- Prices reflect the premium setting — Rates start from £211 per night, which is on the higher side for the room condition described in some reviews.
