Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Compact showers in some rooms — One review notes that the showers can be small, which may be a consideration for taller or broader guests.
  • Economy room has limited natural light — The Economy Double Bed room has an internal window that overlooks a corridor, meaning no external view or direct daylight.
  • Check-in window may be restrictive — Reception is open 14:00–23:59 for check-in, which offers no late-night arrival option beyond midnight.
  • No on-site parking available — The hotel does not list any parking, so guests arriving by car will need to use nearby public garages or street parking.
