Worth weighing
5 to weigh- Check-in window is tight — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 20:00, which may be inconvenient if your travel plans don't fit that window.
- Limited parking situation — While some guests reported free street parking, this isn't guaranteed – the property only mentions a car park nearby, so it could be competitive.
- No pets allowed — If you're traveling with a pet, this isn't the place – the policy explicitly does not allow them.
- Small number of rooms — With only a couple of room types available, availability may be limited, especially in peak periods.
- Modest overall rating — The property's rating (7.8/10) is below the area average of 8.9, so expectations should be set accordingly – though reviews are generally positive.
