Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Shared bathrooms in all rooms — Every room type lists a shared bathroom, which may not suit travellers wanting en-suite facilities.
- Limited check-in window — Check-in is only from 15:00 to 20:30, so late arrivals may need to make alternative arrangements.
- Low cleanliness score — The 'Rooms and cleanliness' rating is just 5 out of 10, suggesting that some guests found the rooms or bathrooms lacking in this regard.
- No pets allowed — Travellers with pets will need to look elsewhere, as the hotel does not accept animals.
