Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Value rating below average — While the overall rating is 7.5, the Value category sits at 7.0, suggesting some guests felt the price didn’t fully match the experience for what you get.
- Rooms rating is the weakest category — Rooms scored 7.2, the lowest alongside General. While size and decor are praised, the rating hints at inconsistency in room quality.
- Check-in window is limited — Check-in is only from 14:00 to 20:00, which may be tight if your flight or train arrives later in the evening.
- No pets allowed — The property does not accept pets, so you’ll need to arrange alternative care if travelling with an animal.
