Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Check-in window closes at 21:00 — Check-in is strictly between 15:00 and 21:00, so late arrivals may need to plan ahead.
  • No pets allowed — The hotel does not accommodate pets, which may be a drawback for travellers with animals.
  • Limited transport options at walking distance — While public transport is close, one guest noted a 15-minute walk to the bus station, which could be less convenient for heavy luggage.
  • Location category slightly lower than other scores — The location rating (7.9) is the lowest of all categories, though it remains above the area average of 8.7, suggesting it's good but not the main draw.
